Chapter 192: Human Physiology
The fat man went to pick up the lantern.
Just as Gu Mian was waiting for the fat man to pick up the lantern back, he saw that the door of the green room in the distance was suddenly pushed open and a crack was opened, and a green man came out of it.
Mr. Green is really a green person now, because Gu Mian seems to be a little angry when he sees that his face is also green at this time.
I saw him look at this side angrily, but after coming into contact with Gu Mian's gaze, he restrained the expression on his face.
At this time, the fat man had already picked up the lantern, and Mr. Green also tidied up his clothes, and walked over with his feet up.
At a glance, the fat man saw Mr. Green, whose face had changed color: "Alas? Mr. Green is out, what's going on with that face? ”
Gu Mian shook his head sincerely: "I don't know." ”
Seeing that Mr. Green was walking this way, the fat man stole the space and said to Gu Mian next to him: "Doctor, when I went to pick up the lanterns just now, I found that there seemed to be a lot of lanterns above our heads that were not lit. ”
Gu Mian looked up when he heard this.
Things turned out to be as the fat man said, the lanterns above the heads of the three of them were originally densely lit, but at this time most of them were extinguished.
Gu Mian looked into the distance along the lantern above his head, and saw that the lantern in the distance did not appear in this situation, as if only the lantern on this side was more than half extinguished.
At this time, Chu Changge next to him suddenly spoke: "It was already like this when we came out of that green room just now. ”
Alas?
The fat man frowned suspiciously, was it like this just now, he didn't pay attention.
At this time, Mr. Green had already walked on his short legs and quickly came to Gu Mian's side, he seemed to have also discovered the fault of the lanterns on his head, and looked up at these lanterns several times on the way, although he looked at them a lot, he didn't have any doubts, as if he had expected it a long time ago.
Mr. Midori stopped, coughed a few times, then looked up and asked, "You twisted her hair?" ”
Gu Mian looked down at him: "Didn't you go in and take a look?" ”
Mr. Green was choked, and his face suddenly turned greener.
Gu Mian spoke again: "But it's not me, it's Chu Changge." ”
Chu Changge pushed his glasses beside him, and then flicked his sleeve again, and the sharp-eyed Mr. Green saw that there seemed to be some hair residue left on his sleeve.
"Okay, okay," Mr. Midori waved his hand: "I just didn't look at it for a while...... Don't do this kind of thing in the future, you know it's a real-world activity, and nothing can happen. ”
As he spoke, he glanced up at the extinguished lanterns overhead, revealing a wistful expression.
At this time, Chu Changge's voice suddenly came from the side: "Do you know why this lantern above your head suddenly went out?" ”
Mr. Green looked at Chu Changge, only to see that this amiable person was showing a strange light in his eyes, as if he was planning some kind of conspiracy.
Seeing Chu Changge's expression, Mr. Green's hair exploded: "I don't know anything, don't ask me!" ”
There are really three hundred taels of silver here.
It really doesn't look like he doesn't know anything.
However, Chu Changge was not in a hurry, he then spoke slowly: "The three of us seemed to have found something interesting in that green room just now. ”
Mr. Midori frowned, and raised his eyes to look at the few people in front of him: "What did you find?" ”
Chu Changge pushed his glasses: "As far as I know, there are at least five people who have gone in before us, but after we entered, we didn't find any living people, and you have also entered, so you must not have seen any living people." ”
Mr. Midori seemed to swallow.
The fat man was holding the lantern next to him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Gu Mian looked up at the lanterns above his head that were still shining.
The lanterns are pinned to some threads that cross the sky, and at first glance they look like wires pulled out of a telephone pole.
"But then we found out that the people who went in didn't disappear out of thin air," Chu Changge then spoke: "They didn't disappear, but were swallowed up by that room." ”
He said as he looked at the green house.
In the dark, the house that was not very beautiful was like a giant beast crawling on the ground, and it was a little disgusting.
"We noticed a piece of the ground that was pitted, and when we looked closely, there was a protrusion in the shape of a hand on that piece of ground, but it didn't take long for this protrusion to slowly disappear; I think it must have been someone who was killed by a ghost, and after he died, his body was devoured by this house."
"Actually, when I first entered this event, I noticed that the layout of this place is different from before......
Gu Mian had already thought about it seriously, he remembered that when Chu Changge first entered this event, he had said that the layout here was different from before.
But he racked his brains and didn't remember when Chu Changge had come to Hengdian.
The two met in an orphanage, and although their childhood dreams were ruthlessly shattered, their relationship was also good.
Gu Mian really didn't remember when Chu Changge had been here alone.
"Some things have changed" Chu Changge was still speaking: "Originally, I thought it was a simple change, but now it seems that this is not the case." ”
The changed area seems to have awakened the 'devouring' function.
Can devour the corpse of a player.
Gu Mian couldn't help but think of the growth of plants, plants also need fertilizer when they grow, and animal carcasses are the best fertilizer.
This also coincides with their previous speculation.
This event is really sacrificing the player, and then used to supply some unknown existence.
So what exactly is being supplied?
A fine sweat broke out on Mr. Midori's forehead, and he took a small step back: "Why are you so suspicious?" ”
Gu Mian had always felt that Mr. Green's IQ was not very high, and he felt it when he saw him in the dungeon.
Because he never seems to have used the right idiom.
I'm afraid he's the lowest IQ among the NPCs in this game, and he can't tell lies, and all his thoughts are written on his face.
"Okay" Mr. Green was in a hurry to change the topic, and didn't seem to know how to hide it: "It's past ten o'clock now, you guys hurry up and guess the lantern riddle, I'll follow behind." ”
The event lasts until 12 a.m., with less than two hours to go.
Mr. Midori said as he walked in the direction of the female ghost behind him, but he had just taken a few steps when he noticed something hanging around the female ghost's neck.
His eyes widened and he stared at the little horn around the female ghost's neck: "Why did you hang this thing up on her!" ”
Gu Mian spread his hands: "I think it's pretty good-looking." ”
Mr. Midori: "......"
Without much nonsense with Mr. Green, Gu Mian and the three of them began to look for another 'bath' on the lantern
[Find a bath with bones at the water's edge, and sink to the bottom with the bones, what will happen to the bones?] 】
It turns out that the bath is not easy to find, and the skeleton is even harder to find.
Several people walked a long distance and didn't find any baths with bones, but Chu Changge seemed to have found something else.
Just as Gu Mian was about to go into a nearby room to see if there was any bath, Chu Changge suddenly leaned over and said softly: "Have you noticed that there is a problem with these threads hanging lanterns above your head?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Mian glanced up, as if there was indeed a problem.
The threads of these lanterns are sparse and dense, and after Gu Mian looked at it carefully for a long time, he thought of something.
"Like blood vessels," he touched his chin, "If this activity absorbs the player's corpse and converts it into nutrients, then those nutrients must be transported through these blood vessels." ”
If you connect all the clues you got before......
This activity devours the player's corpse, the threads are like blood vessels, all the lanterns are connected by threads, and each lantern has a ghost parasitic on it......
So those nutrients are delivered to the lantern through these threads, and then the ghost becomes stronger!
So that's it......
Thinking of this, Gu Mian subconsciously asked, "If this is really the case, then where is the heart?" ”
The fat man frowned, and immediately glanced vaguely at Mr. Green who was hiding far behind him.
Fortunately, Mr. Midori was far away, so he didn't hear the words like, 'I'm going to hit my heart'.
