Chapter 037: ID: Forest (Transformation)
[Investigator's Costume (Uncovered)]: Please, do you think this thing can be worn until it is repaired? Shirtless may make you look more attractive, if you really want to compare.
Seeing the description of this line of props, Li Xiaoyu couldn't help but mutter: "Fortunately, the camouflage power of the curse is too strong, even we were deceived by it, fortunately it didn't make a big mistake." ”
Before, no one thought that today's days were extremely short, and Fang Liang's curse did not take the initiative to prompt, and he was almost succeeded by their conspiracy.
After some explanation, the group finally put their minds at ease, in fact, they were not closed by the death line for too long, and they did not suffer any harm.
There was a false alarm, and everyone gained experience and learned a lesson in the strange event of the curse out of control.
Fang Liang's movements were skillful, and he filled the magazine with a grain of loose bullets: "I also said, isn't it just your head iron, I have to say that you want to go together, but it has created a perfect flaw for the cursed invasion, and I will definitely not have so much to do if I go and go back quickly." ”
"However, I am also responsible for this matter, the curse power has no safety guarantee at all, it is because I was too blindly confident before, and I felt that I would not fight back, but I didn't expect its backlash threshold to be so low, and it will be out of control if I am not careful."
Cao Zhengfei counted the materials at hand: "It should have been cursed to disguise and transfer the bag when investigating the farm, at that time he was affected by the curse and temporarily lost his sense of time, and we investigated too smoothly, and it turned out that it was an imposter who came back with us." ”
Fang Liang asked again: "Then how did you investigate with that impostor?" ”
Li Xiaoyu smiled embarrassedly: "Ahahaha, because you are the main force of the investigation, we are all responsible for being assistants, you said that the investigation is done, you can go back to the clinic before dark, and we are not too suspicious of that impostor." ”
"I don't have to blame anyone, let's talk to whom, discuss it clearly, just avoid it next time."
"In addition, in terms of psychology, we still rely too much on your investigative intelligence, and we really don't think of going over there for a while."
Lu Ming sneered: "Didn't I worry that you would have a problem alone!" Now that I think about it, it must have been when we were investigating on the farm, and once we lost the vision of our teammates, we were transferred, and I thought something was wrong with that guy, but I didn't expect it to be a problem. ”
"But when you didn't break in just now, the imposter was still lying to us that we had found the source of the curse, as long as the source was investigated, we could escape from the forest and leave this hellish place completely."
"Well, this bad thing even drew us a map, saying that he would take us away tomorrow."
Fang Liang took a look at it, it was indeed a hand-drawn map, and couldn't help but wonder: "To be reasonable, this impostor is probably trying to trick you into going near the source of the curse, and then use the curse to attack you." ”
"The source is definitely much stronger than the secondary clone, and it can't be killed."
"But it designed the trap on its own to avoid me, which means that its power is harder to work on me."
Then, Fang Liang lowered his voice and didn't let the doctor hear it: "However, if the curse on my body took the initiative to deceive the other party, this made the source of the curse of the forest directly exposed, and to some extent, this trick secretly pitted the source of the curse of the forest." ”
"To sum up, I suddenly couldn't figure out who was lying to whom, is this a curse to deceive people after overturning, afraid that I would psychologically resist its side effects and hide it, so I quietly left myself a chance to wash my name?"
Cao Zhengfei tilted his eyebrows and said, "Then this curse is inevitably too smart, right?" After doing bad things, he still has a hand, and its conspiracy is certainly no less meticulous than that of a highly educated adult, who would dare to use it indiscriminately if it didn't take a few minutes to devour the master? ”
Fang Liang closed the safety and put away the pistol: "Indeed, this curse is indeed plotting against me, and when it catches a flaw, it wants to devour my self-consciousness, but it uses too much force, and its too abrupt and impatient means cause it to be unsuccessful, and I quickly regained my senses." ”
"It seems that I can't use it so casually in the future, it makes a mistake once and has a backhand, and I am afraid that I will kill myself if I make a mistake."
Li Xiaoyu clasped her arms and nodded repeatedly: "I agree, you are generally like a cold personality, which perfectly fits the personality." ”
Lu Ming gave a thumbs up and smiled at Li Xiaoyu: "What about me?" ”
"You?" Li Xiaoyu was uncomfortable, holding the fingers of her arms, and couldn't help but scratch her elbows: "I think you have a problem." ”
"Damn, what do you mean I have a problem, in other challenges, I'm a strength tank at the forefront!"
"Mr. Bad, don't you think there's something wrong with this guy?"
"......" Facing the sight of the two, Fang Liang shrugged his shoulders silently, knowing that the two of them were in a false alarm and entered a state of excess.
Fang Liang didn't blame them, because the two of them didn't have much experience in thriller games, and it was normal for them to be nervous and make mistakes.
Now they are singing double reeds, hiding their weakness and embarrassment from each other. In terms of defense work, they did not do a good job, neither evaded the counterattack at the first time, nor caught out the internal ghosts, and they were easy to panic when they encountered strange situations, and their thinking mode was still not calm and rational enough.
As for Cao Zhengfei, this guy used Pandora to block the arrow, Fang Liang had no reason to blame him for making trouble, he only said that it was a good risk of a complete collapse.
Curl up your index finger and tap your forehead.
Fang Liang took out the photo that he snatched, on the photo, the faces of the two people had been completely blurred and fogged, since the illusion was recognized, these false images were lifted and dissipated, and it was impossible to see who the protagonist in the photo was.
On the back of the photo, there is still immature handwriting in the corner that reads "Home, Home Forever".
A closer look reveals an abstract map on the back of the photo, but it is slightly different from the imposter's map.
Fang Liang guessed that it might be that the source of the curse knew that sooner or later he would have to go through the gangs, so he deployed a misleading message in advance.
However, judging from the current situation, the one in Lu Ming's hand should be genuine, and the map in Fang Liang's hand, although the map outline is the same, its route is different, I am afraid it can lead people astray.
The curse source's ability to create illusions and dreams was quite terrifying, and once Fang Liang was deceived by the wrong information, he might also fall into a deeper dream from which he could not escape.
Just like the main plot and the side plot, Fang Liang can investigate some messy things in the side plot, but after being deliberately misled, he may be further and further away from the source of the curse.
It's a pity that the curse death line effect failed to counterattack, it seemed to notice that Fang Liang would dig out the broken blade of the sacrificial butcher's knife, and decisively sold the source of the curse of the forest with his backhand, turning his face faster than a salted fish turning over.
After all, as long as the broken blade of the treasure mimic monster was in hand, Fang Liang would be able to split the dead-line barrier that stopped the power supply sooner or later, so it simply let the clinic return to the current timeline, and then beat it in place without saying a word, pretending to be dead to the end.
After discovering that the monster pretending to be Fang Liang had melted on the spot, the doctor now seemed a little uneasy, remembering that patients had been coming to him for medical treatment before, maybe all of them were changed by this kind of monster, they were not real humans.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Liang handed the photo to the doctor to see: "Do you still have an impression of the person and background in this photo?" ”
The doctor picked up the photo, looked at the front and back over and over, rubbed his temples, and his eyes lit up: "I know where the background is!" This must have been the Dawn Marsh, once passable from northeast of Copperkettle, where there was only such a clear and expansive sky. ”
"When the forest invaded, I remember that the survey team had secretly dug a few tunnels over there, and if those tunnels hadn't been completely destroyed by the tree roots, we might have been able to bring tools and dig through the tunnels."
Fang Liang's eyelids jumped: "So, the investigation team you are talking about has already investigated quite deeply?" ”
The doctor shook his head slightly: "No, they are all dead, it must be an evil curse that killed them all!" ”
"This forest is either monsters or wild and lunatics, and I don't want to trust those suspicious creatures who only care about their goals and never help the people here."
"Those cold-blooded freaks, when they discover treasures and secrets, don't even care about their own lives, even if they are alive, they will definitely not care about us, we have to find a way to get out of here...... But I'm not much sure. ”
Hearing this, Fang Liang and the four of them were slightly surprised in their hearts, how could this doctor seem to be scolding the player group for being cold-blooded and ruthless?
But if you think about it, the doctor has not realized his true identity so far.
That is, the doctor had no idea that the four people standing in front of him were not his own kind, but a group of players.
The doctor was indeed scolding the investigators, his disgust and hostility, undisguised purity.
"In that case, everyone have a good rest at night to store their strength, and tomorrow we will find a way to go to the Dawn Swamp."
Fang Liang put the broken sacrificial butcher knife into the backpack space, closed his eyes against the corner of the wall to recuperate, and rearranged the experience of "these few days".
A quiet night, the silence is only for the clinic.
At night, Fang Liang heard the whistling and moaning from afar again, like an invisible ghost train passing through the town, and the cursed Black Tide that likes darkness and light searched everywhere in the night—but the sound of the wind never formed footsteps.
The snapping and closing of the trap when it is triggered, the creaking of furniture being pushed around, the sleeping doctor still haunted by nightmares, and the occasional exclamation and shouting from the town are unknown if it is a so-called survivor or another conspiracy of the curse.
Triggering, confronting, struggling, Fang Liang and the others' actions broke the stability and balance of the curse, and everything was changing.
The doctor's trembling subsided, and a dark red light tore through the darkness.
The pure white light washed everything, and when I opened my eyes, all I could see was the old rainy day yellowing outside......
Turning the door lightly, the door crack that was wide at one end was fixed in place, and it was no longer opened by half an inch.
Fang Liang stared intently at the figure outside the door of the third room, a strange sense of familiarity fermented in his heart, and the pistol was aimed at the transparent hood outside the door: "...... Who are you? ”
