Chapter 006: Elevator
Before Fang Liang could fully understand the situation, the victim and the suspect donated inexplicably, as if triggering some kind of mechanism that could not be hidden, and died directly without reaction time.
This game has just begun, and the field is only a memory play, and the next thing is the challenge.
In cognition, this is not like a regular murder scene, but more like some kind of cursed murder caused by evil spirits. Therefore, the conventional idea of dungeon combat may not be suitable, and it is necessary to gather information in the way of solving puzzles to stay alive.
[Guide]: You still have 60 seconds to prepare, and the quest challenge is about to begin.
Li Xiaoyu didn't say a word, opened the website that had just been parsed, and shared the logs on the webpage.
There was some intel on it, and it seemed to be the encrypted page of the dead programmer.
"First, the curse can never be removed."
"Second, only a curse can fight a curse."
"Third, observe the triggering pattern of the curse, maybe the curse can be used for you."
"Fourth, when you stare at the curse, the curse is staring at you."
At the end of the document, there is a red and black abstract eye picture, a real-life example of a programmer working as an artist.
"It's gone?" Li Xiaoyu flipped through it, and made a red and black page for these few sentences, is it really necessary?
Fang Liang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "It's the same as saying it, our skill bar is empty, and the status bar doesn't have any data to refer to, and we are in the office area where the victim died, how can this be played?" ”
Lu Ming seemed to be very dissatisfied with the tricks of this system: "Hmph, I think this game is just playing psychological warfare, posing as if my game is very fierce, and you D-class personnel please retreat." ”
Li Xiaoyu pouted: "Yes, anyway, if you spend money to buy the game, you can't be persuaded to quit by the novice copy." I had to queue up to enter the game before, maybe the popularity and value of this game are much higher than we imagined. ”
Fang Liang nodded: "Yuechenzhou is now under stronger control, everyone stays at home and can't go out, if this game suddenly becomes popular, maybe it can allow us to earn enough living expenses for the summer vacation, and even make full tuition fees for the next semester." ”
Cao Zhengfei took the initiative to raise his hand: "Okay, let's try it, there are still 30 seconds, we will use the team voice to keep in touch." ”
The clock ticked.
Cao Zhengfei stared at the watch countdown: "In the last 5 seconds, I want to come." ”
Suddenly, Fang Liang once again felt the familiar and fleeting scene dislocation.
Horrifyingly, however, the office staff did not disappear like phantoms, but all stood up, bewildered, or looking at each other, whispering about the copy.
Shockingly, everyone who stays in the office is probably all a gamer!
Even Fang Liang's scalp was numb: "Isn't this really a system failure?" ”
"It's just a novice dungeon, and you actually stuffed so many people in one go?"
Li Xiaoyu frowned and analyzed: "No, it's not like it's shoehorned in, it seems to be speculated according to the system settings, and it seems that every identity that appears in memory will become a player in the challenge." ”
"It's like the four of us, we have also been rationalized by identity, and each identity has a simple origin."
Lu Ming was also taken aback: "Good girl, then I really underestimate this game, how many people are there in the entire office building, don't tell me that there are people on every floor of the office building, that ghost thing is going to kill here!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, the office suddenly lost power, and darkness hit again.
There was a panicked scream of girls and the laughter of some men in the office.
Novice dungeons, the difficulty of the game should be given in vain, and it can still be turned over?
Maybe many people are participating in the beginner challenge for the first time, and obviously don't take this first sight to heart.
In the team's voice, it was Zhuge Xiaoyu's analysis and Q&A: "If my guess is correct, the current number of players in the office building is a relatively small fuzzy body. Don't forget the hint in the opening credits of the dungeon, even if it's night, and some people don't leave work on time, there are more or less character slots, so don't scare yourself. ”
"The identity of all the players may be from this group of people who don't leave work on time. There may also be exceptions like ours, but everyone's task should be the same, and we need to stick to it until the end. ”
Lu Yu Emperor Tiger: "What should I do?" Are we going to team up with the others to escape, or are we going to exchange investigative information? ”
Zhuge Xiaoyu: "Do you want to talk about the first rules?" It seems that not everyone is aware of the existence of the curse. ”
After a brief moment of hesitation, Fang Wei quickly glanced at the battery level of the mobile phone and made a judgment: "Let's get up first." ”
"It's a mess now, I don't know where the cursed guillotine is, if he starts killing now, I don't want to start for nothing."
The next moment, Fang Liang had already burrowed under the desk, and the other three followed suit.
At the same time, the plot of the office area is changing.
In the dark, the lights of the mobile phone are different, and it seems that a man with a higher position strides into the office area: "What is the noise, make a fuss about a power outage, did I say I got off work?" Get back to your seat for me! ”
"This tone, could it be an NPC?"
"The dungeon counts down, a total of 1500 seconds, a total of 25 minutes, and just 87 seconds have passed."
"No, it's also possible that players with other identities are playing tricks, and the system doesn't prohibit players from doing so."
"Oh, yes, if some people believe him and sit and wait for death, the survival rate of the escaped player will definitely be higher."
"If that guillotine isn't dead by now, then this is a mix of player and NPC?"
Too many questions, too little intelligence.
Fang Liang hid under his desk without moving, ignoring the warning of the voice.
Some listened to the man's orders and sat back down, others took the opportunity to go out under the pretext of going to the bathroom, and others simply began to question the identity of the NPC and asked him to prove that he was an NPC and not a player.
Chaos and suspicion quickly fermented in the building where the power went out.
Suddenly, a crisp "ding" sounded outside, and the elevator door hissed and slid open.
The office area fell silent, and everyone pricked up their ears.
The elevator stayed on this floor and did not leave, and after a long wait, there was no sound of footsteps in the corridor area, only faint breathing in the office one after another, proving that there were many living people here.
"Who's there?" Someone in the dark couldn't help but ask.
In the next second, the office building began to shake strangely.
It was as if it wasn't a high-end edifice built of sophisticated technology, but a stack of books that were piled too high, and that began to shake horribly under the control of some kind of force.
"Don't panic, everyone hides it, it's impossible to wipe out all the players at the beginning!"
Fang Liang's heart shook, even though he had played many games, but in the face of natural disasters, his body couldn't help but tremble.
I don't know if the shaking amplitude of the vertical ground has reached 15° or 30°, and the whole office has begun to tilt, which makes people can't help but fear that this building will be cut off directly from the middle!
"It's over, is this a gale or an earthquake! We're absolutely dead for such a high floor! ”
"No, you can jump, jump off the building! Shun, climb down the water pipe, maybe you can still live! ”
"Don't jump, this is the 23rd floor!"
"Come back quickly, the water pipe can't bear it!"
As he spoke, the man had already pulled out the window outside.
There was only a palpitating cracking sound, as if the creeper's sucker tendrils had been torn off entirely, and the man struggled to shake it back, but the screams grew farther and farther away, and his voice came to an abrupt end with the fall.
After one person died, the shaking of the building, which was dizzying and shivering, also stopped.
"Ding." The elevator doors closed slowly, as if it had finally waited for its satisfied passengers.
The elevator door hissed shut and went to another floor.
