At the Green Frog Hospital, Lin Chen and the female teacher stood in the corner, holding their breaths as they watched the female ghost and the frog fight.
The soaring frogs and cries became louder and louder, and gradually became sparse after reaching a certain node. The reverberation became softer, and the initial deafening turned into a whisper.
Lin Chen pretended to be ignorant and secretly observed the movements of the female teacher. At the same time, he pricked his ears to listen to what was happening on Qisi's side.
He heard that Qisi first pretended to betray Lu Zimo, and then killed Huang Xiaofei through a sneak attack.
Under the premise that Huang Xiaofei is a villain like Yu Kun, Lin Chen is happy for the success of Qisi's plan.
But a voice in his subconscious reminded him tirelessly that this matter was full of doubts.
Chisi's performance is so smooth that one can't help but wonder if he is used to deceiving people.
The killing method is also too skillful, and it has probably been done many times in multiple copies.
Lin Chen couldn't help but begin to wonder how much of what Chiss said was true and how false. Could everything shown in "Rose Manor" be a fabricated personality for the purpose of deception?
But if there are some things that cannot be seen, why would Qiss let him know about them?
Lin Chen was just puzzled when he realized that his consciousness was disconnected and the female teacher beside him was looking at his face seriously.
"Lin Chen, have you joined the guild?" The female teacher pinched the frame of her glasses and asked coldly.
Lin Chen shook his head: "Not yet, I have been busy for the past month, haha, I haven't had time to pay attention to this."
The female teacher nodded gently, her light gray eyes always Focusing on Lin Chen's face: "I originally wanted to invite you to join my guild, but now there is a more economical option for you."
"The 'door' has been opened, and the 'tower' It won’t be too far to start. If you have a ‘card’, it’s better to form a new force from scratch.”
What is this all about? Riddlers are not popular these days...
Lin Chen was confused when he heard this, and said "ah" indifferently.
He was about to ask a question, but the female teacher looked away and looked at the calm water: "You go down to the pond, and I will stay on the shore to take care of you."
...
< br>"You go down to the pond, and I'll stay on the shore to take care of you."
At Blue Frog Hospital, Qisi looked down at the bloody pool water for a while, then turned his head and said to Sun Dekuan.
Sun Dekuan naturally had no objection. He nodded repeatedly, jumped into the pool with three steps and two steps at a time, splashing water as high as half a person, lest Qisi could not see his active and cooperative attitude.
On the one hand, he did not dare to look too useless, and on the other hand, he did not dare to be too intrusive, lest Qisi take care of him.
Looking for a passage in the pond is the best way out. At least keep your distance from dangerous people and stay calm.
Sun Dekuan didn't even have time to take off his shoes and pants. At this moment, his whole body was soaked in water, and the wetness covered his body, making him feel a little heavier.
He bent down awkwardly and put his hand into the water to fumble, but he heard the young man on the shore suddenly say: "Start looking under the statue of the Virgin."
...
Lin Chen took off his shoes , rolled up his trouser legs, stepped into the cold pond, and his heels immediately sank into the soft soil.
On the bright red pool water, there are dots of large and small lumps of grease, which reflect purple or pink colors under the cold moonlight. The stumps of frogs float on the water like heavenly flowers. A few frog legs were still twitching slightly.
The water surface was so startled by the people entering the water that it trembled, and a pool of fleshy foam swam around, spreading out and gathering together.
The viscous liquid full of impurities sucked on his skin. Lin Chen bent down, gritted his teeth and stretched his arm into the water. Starting from the edge of the pond, he carefully explored it inch by inch.
Let the female teacher stay on the shore and explore the pond by herself, which was also Lin Chen's original idea.
First of all, it was Qisi’s suggestion to find the passage. He had to do it himself to feel at ease.
Secondly, the pond is full of all kinds of dirt, so it is not appropriate for girls to go into the water.
But the female teacher said this division of labor in an arranged tone, with a non-negotiable and no-rejection attitude, which always made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Lin Chen, you look from the outside in. We can save some time by searching from the inside out." Qisi's voice sounded calmly.
Lin Chen replied in his heart: "No problem!"
...
"Not at all! The entire bottom of the pool is flat, and there is nothing to be found! ”
The moon has already set in the west, and the eastern horizon is filled with a deathly gray color, gradually infecting the entire sky.
Sun Dekuan started searching in circles starting from the statue of the Virgin. After touching the edge of the pond, he straightened up.
He was covered in blood, his clothes were wet and stuck to his flesh, and the hair on his head was soaked with sweat and stuck to his cheeks.
He was breathing heavily, fearing that Qisi might not believe it, so he gesticulated hurriedly: "Brother Cheng, I really touched every inch of the land, not even a crack!"
" No, nothing was found." Lin Chen looked at the female teacher and said breathlessly.
The female teacher stared at the stone platform in the center of the pond and said, "Go and see if you can move the statue of the Holy Child."
A statue of the Holy Son?
Lin Chen turned around and looked back. The baby placed on the stone platform in the middle of the pool looked up at the sky, and the shadow cast just right covered a small area.
He walked over.
......
"The statue of the Virgin cannot be moved with our strength. If it is damaged, we are not sure whether it will lead to bad results. It depends on Lin Chen."
At Blue Frog Hospital, Qisi paid attention to Lin Chen's movements and smiled at Sun Dekuan: "Come up, it's cold in the pond."
You know that too, right?
Sun Dekuan complained crazily in his heart, but did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
He climbed out of the pond on his hands and knees. There were suddenly large puddles of water stains on the stone platform and the ground, completely outlining his human shape.
The bloody smell dissipated in the wind. Sun Dekuan breathed heavily, supported his body with his hands and stood up, with water still dripping from the corners of his clothes.
When the cold wind blew, he couldn't help but shiver.
……
“It can be moved.”
Green Frog Hospital, Lin Chen hugged the white baby stone statue with his hands, lifted it up, and successfully moved the statue. The base leaves the stone platform below.
There are fine stones scattered on the stone platform. After brushing them away with your hands, only a flat piece is left.
Lin Chen tentatively knocked on the stone platform twice, and a dull sound of "bang bang" sounded in the silence.
The stone platform is solid and there are no secret passages.
"No, there is no passage in the pond." Lin Chen said firmly.
Why not?
There are no other exits visible to the naked eye in the hospital. The only door leads directly to the pond...
There are both blue frogs and green frogs in the pond. One kind of frog obviously comes from outside...
Frogs are not very capable of migration, so the passage must be nearby...
All kinds of things The clues are so clear, but why can't we find the passage?
Is there something wrong, or is the form of the passage different from what the players expected?
"We are still missing some key clues. There is still one day left today, so you can go to the dean's office to have a look."
Qisi remained calm, turned around and walked towards Lu Zimo.
There are changes in the main mission, but it does not affect the part of the plan related to the side mission.
Since getting Lu Zimo’s note, Qisi has been thinking about ways to maximize profits. First of all, Lu Zimo definitely couldn't stay.
A person who has been acting alone for a whole day, has a probability of unique information at hand, and a high probability of betrayal. Such a person is a great trouble and trouble no matter what the circumstances. Hidden danger.
The benefits he may bring are far less than the existing risks. In a gambling game with thin trust, any doubt is enough to sentence the cooperative opponent to death.
Secondly, there is no benefit to keeping Huang Xiaofei.
The rewards for clearing the dungeon are personalized, and each player will receive different props. After learning in Sunset Ruins that each dungeon would have an MVP, Qiss vaguely suspected that the quality of the reward props would be linked to the player's performance ranking.
It can be inferred from the ranking rules of the newcomer list that the weird game places more emphasis on force than intelligence. Although rationally he felt that Huang Xiaofei's comprehensive strength was not too strong, Qisi still believed that it was necessary to seize the opportunity to eliminate potential competitors.
Similarly, the female teacher in Lin Chen’s description also needs to be eliminated. Of course, this is a later story.
Finally, there is the "number advantage" problem that has always existed in weird games.
Players' physical strength cannot make a qualitative leap through the game, and they can only arm themselves with props. In other words, except for bugs like Chang Xu, most players have limits to their physical strength and can be attacked by sneak attacks. , can be bullied by more...
In the beginning, a large part of the reason why Qisi did not have murderous intentions towards Huang Xiaofei and Lu Zimo was because he thought that they were two people who had a tacit understanding. , has a large numerical advantage.
But now, since they have dug their own graves and created discord, they have nothing to fear. Qisi is happy to add insult to injury, waiting for both of them to lose, and then reap the benefits.
Lu Zimo twisted on the ground for a long time, until his whole body was covered in broken dirt, but he still could not break the chain.
He could only give up struggling and kneel on the ground dejectedly, staring coldly at Qiss who was getting closer and closer.
Qisi squatted down, took out the towel that blocked his mouth, and threw it to the ground.
Lu Zimo took a quick breath and threatened word by word: "Cheng An, if you let me go now, I can pretend that this never happened."
" Otherwise, when you leave the dungeon, I will definitely put you on the forum. No matter how eloquent you are from now on, you will only be a street rat that everyone yells at."
Qisi tilted his head: " Who would use their real name? ”
"I can draw. Half an hour is enough for me to sketch your face and hang it on the forum."
Chis sneered: "Who would use his own face if he were serious?"
Lu Zimo: "..."
He saw a sugar bowl full of tadpoles appearing in Qisi's hand, and he had a bad feeling in his heart: "Cheng An, what do you want to do?"
"Didn't I say before, you'll have to rely on trial and error." Qisi sighed, as if feeling sorry for Lu Zimo's memory.
His tone was matter-of-fact: "Anyway, you have already eaten so many tadpoles, no less than these hundreds."
Lu Zimo finally understood what Qis was going to do, and struggled violently, his whole body like a maggot Just like rolling around on the ground.
Sun Dekuan was attracted by the movement here, and ran over in small steps, regardless of his still wet clothes.
He looked at Qisi and Lu Zimo, with a look of unbearable expression on his face: "Isn't it bad to eat hundreds of tadpoles at once? Lu Zimo's failure rate is already 60%. This time The next 80% will increase to 80%, right?”
Qisi looked at him sideways, his dark red eyes and scarlet pendulum reflecting the faint light: “He can’t eat so much, then help him share some of it. ?”
Sun Dekuan was startled, and immediately turned his back to the two of them: "What... I have a bad gastrointestinal condition. Eating randomly will cause diarrhea... Come on!"
Lu Zimo fell into despair, He watched helplessly as Zeiss slowly unscrewed the lid of the sugar bowl, grabbed a handful of tadpoles with his hands, and put them to his mouth.
The tadpoles that had just been taken out still had a muddy smell, and the sticky liquid rubbed Lu Zimo's face, and he tilted his head subconsciously.
However, Zis pinched his chin and pushed his head back. The smile on his face remained clear and innocent: "Eat it, or I will kill you."
The bloody pendulum flew out from the cuffs, and the sharp pendulum was aimed at Lu Zimo's temple. The veins on his forehead were beating wildly, and he could almost feel the chill coming from his face.
Lu Zimo had no doubt that as long as he continued to show his uncooperative attitude, Qisi's trembling will most likely make him die miserably.
He shrank his neck, quickly opened his mouth, and let Qiss throw a handful of tadpoles in.
He still harbors some unrealistic extravagant hopes, such as holding the tadpole in his mouth first, and then secretly spitting it out while Qiss is not paying attention...
Who knows what will happen next? , Qisi grabbed his chin and slapped it upward, held his throat with the other hand, and rubbed it lightly and heavily.
His throat felt sore and he swallowed instinctively, along with the tadpoles in his mouth.
Before he could react, Zis grabbed another handful of tadpoles and followed the same pattern.
It wasn’t until a jar of tadpoles was solved that Qisi connected to his consciousness again and asked Lin Chen: “How is the progress of your mission?”
Lin Chen started from a certain time Click to start, and find that the progress of the "One Thousand Tadpoles" mission is rising crazily. It is expected that Qisi has taken action.
At this moment, he looked at the [Current Task Completed] prompt on the system interface and replied anxiously: "The task of letting people eat a thousand tadpoles is completed, Qi...Brother Qi, What did you do over there?”
From his subtext, he was obviously worried that Zis had persecuted some unlucky player.
"What are you thinking about? I am also a human being, right?" Qisi clicked his tongue and cut off the connection with his consciousness again.
He collected the cursed pendulum, let go of Lu Zimo, and stepped aside.
Lu Zimo's face turned pale and he stared at Qisi with cold eyes: "Do you really think there's nothing you can do if you don't know your real name and face? Skills are unique. As long as you continue to use them in the future, If you dare to use the soul contract skill, you will definitely be exposed..."
Qisi tapped his chin with a clean hand, with a half-smile on his face: "If you be quiet, I might be able to spare your life. "
Lu Zimo immediately shut up.
Qisi walked towards Huang Xiaofei's body, grabbed her hand, rubbed every knuckle, and finally touched an invisible ring on the little finger of her right hand.
Chisi took off the ring.
After leaving the finger, the ring's invisibility was lifted, and a scarlet color appeared in Qisi's palm.
It does not belong to Kyushu, nor does it belong to Xiela.
Qisi looked at Lu Zimo: "Where did it come from?"
Lu Zimo was silent for a moment and said: "My sister snatched it from the hands of the Xiela members and modified it with prop appearance modification coupons."
"When?"
"Almost A month ago, probably March 9th."
"It's been so long, but the people from Xila haven't come to see you?"
"I don't know."
It was already dark, and the pointer of the fate pocket watch crossed the number 6.
It’s six o’clock in the morning.
All the blood on Sun Dekuan's body disappeared, and his clothes were generally tidy except for some wrinkles.
He stood far away, looking at Qisi with fearful eyes, neither advancing nor retreating.
Qisi stuffed the towel back into Lu Zimo's mouth and saw the tool man's fear in his eyes when he stood up.
He just smiled casually: "Sun Dekuan, take Lu Zimo with you, let's go back to the ward."
"Okay...Okay!" Sun Dekuan reluctantly walked to Qisi's side and bent over. He lowered his waist to help Lu Zimo and carried him on his back.
Qisi led the way, and Sun Dekuan followed. The two walked towards the hospital building along the same path they came from.
Behind me, frogs roared. (End of this chapter)
