Chapter 009: Temptation
There were other players who died for him once, Fang Liang didn't feel guilty in his heart, but his behavior was too easy to attract hostility, and anyone who thought about it a little bit would despise him, so he had to quickly sneak away to other places to avoid being targeted by other players with excuses.
In the face of the murderous curse, once it is triggered and there is no restriction on the means of defense, it must be given in vain, and that person imitates other players uninvited, and it is no wonder that Fang Liang died violently.
It's just that there must be only a handful of players who can see through this layer, otherwise there wouldn't be a bunch of people trapped here.
The vast majority of ordinary players are still stuck in the illusion that there are multiple killing laws in this building, and they have not yet discovered the core thinking and clues, and will only waste more physical strength in the panic escape.
Because the one who killed the programmer "Guillotine Brother" is very likely to be a phantom sealed by the elevator.
In other words, the murderous phantom is a guillotine in the past tense, it has completely exploded, and it will kill its own summoner in a madness, so don't expect anything to influence it with love and reason with this being.
According to the trigger characteristics of the red marker, if you want to kill someone, you have to close the door, but you can't kill someone if you close the door.
Madness and liberation, division and closure, there is a perfect closed loop between the two.
It's hard to imagine that such a bizarre copy of the game is the product of human subconscious cognition.
"You can't make them realize that they're dead, and you have to go into the safe zone with them under that premise. It is also necessary to take the initiative to protect the living at all times, otherwise this safety rule may not be valid. ”
Thinking of this, Fang Liang couldn't help but feel a little chill on his body, he felt that there was something wrong with this game.
Fang Liang drove distracting thoughts out of his mind, now was not the time to think about these things, he had to make a final test.
As Li Xiaoyu speculated, there were actually people on each floor of this building, and they couldn't think of the curse's killing law anyway, so they simply stayed on different floors to see if they could try their luck and get through.
Unfortunately, there is no point in doing so.
The phantom's killing law has been inadvertently destroyed, it has begun to manipulate the elevator to chase the living up and down everywhere, and the severed head brother is still on the 23rd floor, this kind of behavior of gambling on luck is actually not much different from hanging up on the grave.
It doesn't take too long to go down from the 10th floor to the 1st floor, especially after having a clear idea and plan, it doesn't affect them to discuss with the team's voice while walking.
Finally went down to the first floor smoothly, Fang Liang also breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, staying away from the floor where the elevator was located could temporarily avoid being killed, there was nothing wrong with this rule.
There is no time to lose, and they need to hurry up while those who don't understand the situation can stall.
Fang Liang said in the team's voice: "I need a red marker, a little more."
Lu Ming took the initiative to ask Ying and said, "I'll go find it, Fang Liang, are you a little too brainpowering?" I see that your face is a little bad, and you still have to test the conclusion later, or you should take a rest first. ”
"I'll leave it to you, because I was really a little panicked when I just got downstairs, and I can't do anything about it if the invisible guy gets his eye on us. Then I'll touch the fish for a while, and I'll leave the search supplies to you. ”
Fang Liang didn't shirk either, he was indeed a little tired, so he casually pulled a newspaper and sat near the green potted plant.
If the elevator opens on the first floor, there is a potted plant in the way, and it may not be killed on the spot.
There are not many people on the first floor, after all, they will be killed if they leave the building, and no matter how unreasonable these people are, they will not flash and rush to the tower.
"It's a good thing, at least they haven't discovered the law of the curse yet, otherwise it will be even more difficult to rectify after the collapse of group trust."
Fang Liang opened the interface, and the countdown of the dungeon was now 634 seconds left.
Although Fang Liang also felt that the speed of time passing in the game was a little wrong, no matter how much it was said, more than half of it had passed, he was now staring at the number of floors of the elevator, once the elevator went down to the first floor in an unexpected time, they would have to run away.
Li Xiaoyu and Lu Ming went to find the red marker, although Cao Zhengfei said that he would help find it, but this guy groped near the information desk for a while, and actually found two bowls of instant noodles from under the counter!
Even Fang Liang was stunned: "Huh? Have you discovered the special killing pattern, why did you suddenly start to bubble up? ”
Cao Zhengfei frowned, first walked to the side and lifted a hot water kettle and shook it, then tested the temperature of the bottle mouth with his hands, and then sat in front of the consultation desk and unwrapped the bowls of instant noodles.
Other nervous players were also shocked by Cao Zhengfei's operation - your nerves are too tough!
Cao Zhengfei glanced at Fang Liang: "I suddenly remembered that when I went out in the morning, I forgot to buy instant noodles." Whether it's bucket instant noodles or packaged instant noodles, it's really a little unpleasant to forget to buy them. ”
"Instant noodles, you know, I haven't eaten it for a long time and suddenly want to take a bite, that's my hobby."
The other players couldn't help but come over and ask, "Brother, why did you start making noodles here?" ”
Cao Zhengfei didn't bother to explain to them at all, and poured water while tearing the sauce packet: "Oops, I can't guess the law of killing and I can't starve myself, the money for the purchase of the game has been paid, and the single style is 1440 credits." ”
"I can't get through this copy either, I was abused by the boss when I entered the dungeon, what's wrong with eating a few bowls of instant noodles from the official?"
Although the game doesn't prompt the player ID, the player is not a blind person, and said strangely: "But I've been noticing you just now, you've always been four people acting together, four people in a row, right?" ”
"This game has a discount of only 3680 credits for 4 players, and 920 credits per person, is it expensive? People who can afford to play virtual games these days won't even have to pick the door for a bowl of instant noodles, right? ”
Cao Zhengfei stuffed the fork onto the instant noodle bowl and looked at his watch: "Anyway, I just suddenly want to eat instant noodles, and besides, there is still a little time left, whether it is dead or alive to make a few bowls of instant noodles, don't you think this is also appropriate?" ”
It's the right size for you! The player's cheeks twitched, obviously dissatisfied with being fooled by Cao Zhengfei as a fool.
When you are scared to run down from the 23rd floor, which player is not running wildly?
Then Cao Zhengfei put his cheek raiser in his hands, played with the instant noodle fork with a leisurely face, and deliberately pointed at Fang Liang: "I didn't find any killing rules, but my teammates seem to have some eyebrows, but he didn't express it very clearly, and I thought about it several times and still didn't understand what he was talking about." ”
"If you're interested in the law of killing the curse, you can pay more attention to his movements, anyway, I'm not a witty type, I really have a headache if you let me play reasoning, I just want to lie down and win now, and by the way, I can try it."
"Oh, I can't finish eating so many instant noodles hidden under the counter, why don't you have a bowl too?"
"Uh, haha, no, no, I don't dare to touch the things in the horror movie copy, thank you dude for showing the way."
Facing the realization handed over by that person, Fang Liang's face turned dark, yes, he already knew what Cao Zhengfei's routine was.
Cao Zhengfei pretended to be instant noodles, but in fact, he took the initiative to sell a flaw to attract the attention of other players, as long as other people have incomplete information, then they can learn Fang Liang's gameplay, and it is easy to play themselves to death.
To put it simply, it's to kill people with a knife and use incomplete curse information to quickly clear up the number of players.
Seeing the player coming over, Fang Liang was also a little helpless.
Although this is a good method, once it is seen through and seen through, it is the public enemy of the whole audience, and the inner ghost quartet has not really run.
At this time, Lu Ming and Li Xiaoyu also came back, but they were two college students, and it was impossible to find a red marker in such a large office area.
"Well, I found a lot of them, each of us must have more than 3 sticks, what do you want these pens for?"
"Wait, lazy, why did you start sitting here and making instant noodles? Your teammates are doing something, look at you! ”
"Oops, I just suddenly want to eat a bowl of instant noodles, who told you to forget to buy it in the morning, blame me."
Fang Liang didn't say much, and took the red marker pen and said directly to the strange player: "Ugly words are ahead, I have no objection to you wanting to hitchhike and mix up, after all, everyone has areas that they are not good at and are forced to be bastards." ”
"But to be honest, I'm not sure that my reasoning must be correct, and if you learn from me, you can't blame me for this, and you are not allowed to post on the forum of the virtual community."
The player's eyes lit up, it is rare for someone to be willing to share information with strangers, although it was just a try, but this player didn't expect that this four-person team was still quite easy to talk to.
"How is this possible, the big guy is willing to take me to get a newbie customs clearance subsidy, it's too late for me to thank you."
Fang Liang didn't waste any time, didn't make much politeness, and got up directly and walked to the entrance of the hall on the first floor.
A well-meaning player reminded: "Hey, hey, brother, do you still want to die?" Leaving this glass gate, the killing mechanic will be triggered before I can escape to the road, and my two teammates will die so suddenly. ”
Some other players chimed in, "yes, that thing kills people so weirdly, there's no way to react." ”
Of course, Fang Liang knew this: "Thank you, but I didn't say I was going out. ”
With that, Fang Liang pulled out the marker pen and drew a straight red line on the back of his hand.
"If the guess is correct, the red line needs to be drawn about halfway, which is the length that covers the entire back of the hand."
There were players nearby who looked at Fang Liang curiously, wanting to know some information,
There are also people who stand on the sidelines with cold eyes and watch, thinking that Fang Liang is purely in the limelight, Zhuang Bifan's behavior.
Fang Liang didn't have the heart to pay attention to this, and in the next second, he lifted his palm upwards and took a small step towards the door.
One step, two steps, four steps......
After a few steps without warning, a cold chill crept in.
The red thread on the back of Fang Liang's hand seemed to come to life, and the two ends of the red thread began to gradually approach the middle.
One step further, the speed at which the red line closes and closes accelerates.
At this moment, Fang Liang faintly heard a voice sighing in his ear: "It's not time to get off work yet, I can't leave the building, if I secretly skip work and am discovered, I will definitely deduct my salary......"
At the same time, the red line of the floor hidden at the entrance of the building also appeared in Fang Liang's field of vision.
Fang Liang's eyes flickered, but there were no living people outside the building, and no one saw the change in his expression.
Soon, Fang Liang retreated and showed the nearby players the red line on his palm that had changed.
"I see, the big guy is amazing, I didn't expect this kind of early warning method at all!"
"Great, with this routine, we can prepare to avoid it before triggering the curse killing law."
"Hey, I was really blinded by him, after all, the red line is not closed instantly, there is an opportunity......"
Fang Liang shook his palm and put on a cold face: "I also said it just now, I think you also know that once these red lines are completely closed and closed, you know what will happen, right?" ”
"Thank you, this early warning information is so useful, I don't know if the big guy knows about the security zone ......"
Fang Liang was speechless: "Where it won't lead to the shrinkage of the red line, isn't that a temporary safe zone, as for where is the safe zone needed to clear the customs through the dungeon, who do you ask me and who do I ask?" ”
"If there is no exchange of information, you still don't come to ask me, in fact, I am panicking now."
"Or you can test it with your own life, and don't look for me in case you die violently."
At this time, the team's voice quietly came out: "Fang Liang, the elevator has gone down to the 4th floor, we have to slip away." ”
When Fang Liang heard this, he decisively rejected the player who still wanted to ask, and walked towards the three lacking guys who ate instant noodles.
"I'm sorry, when you encounter this kind of copy, everyone is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect yourself, so you should ask for more blessings."
