Octavian: The first group of players

While the second group of players has already managed to catch the merfolk, the first group seems to be lagging behind in their search for the silver dagger. Lorraine, One-Eye, and Colin seem to have become the task of finding the dagger group, and they have divided the tasks - Colin stays in front of the computer, responsible for translating the binary code on the wall into decimal numbers, and then compares the number pattern of e to find the right direction, while Lorraine and One-Eye are responsible for moving forward to find the silver dagger.

Rounding the winding corridor, Lorraine and One-Eye stopped before a fork in the road.

Lorraine picked up the walkie-talkie and looked at the tightly arranged numbers on the wall: "Colin, I'm Lorraine, we're now on a fork in the road, which way are we going?" ”

On the other end of the intercom, Colin's voice came, his voice was a little hoarse, and Lorraine jumped up the volume of the intercom.

"What's the number on the wall?"

"Hmm...... The first column of numbers in the corridor on the left is 0100010101110101011110101010, and the numbers in the corridor on the right are 1001110100001000010111111111. ”

"Wait a minute."

Then, the sound of tapping on the keyboard came from the other end of the intercom, and after a while, Colin's voice came again.

"It's the corridor on the right, and the decimal system of that string of numbers is 164660735, which happens to coincide with the number series of e."

"Roger."

Lorraine said, and One-Eye headed towards the corridor to the right.

One-eyed clasped his hands around his chest and glanced at the walkie-talkie in Lorraine's hand: "I didn't expect that rookie to be quite useful." ”

"He and I are both newcomers, so be merciful." Lorraine smiled.

"But in this world, it's useless to be smart but not aggressive."

"Well, that makes sense, but it doesn't seem to be feasible if you're only aggressive but not smart." Lorraine teased.

"Hey little girl, are you sarcastic about me?" One-eyed and squinting.

"No, don't take your seat."

"Hmph, it's just a yellow-haired girl, it's easier for me to kill you than it is to kill an ant."

"I'm sorry, but my hair is silvery, not yellow." Lorraine tugged at her short hair, the corners of her mouth raised.

"If you don't lift the bar, you're uncomfortable." One-eyed glare.

Lorraine closed her eyes with a smile on her face.

It's rare to get along with One-Eye, who has always been "crazy", and of course she has to take this opportunity to taunt him a few more words, in case she dies at his hands in a game, it won't be a loss.

The two of them walked to the end of the corridor one after the other.

And this time, there are no corners.

There are only three wooden doors in front of you, and the meaning is obvious, three choices, only one is correct.

Lorraine exchanged glances with One-Eye, not understanding the system's intentions.

She turned on the intercom: "Colin, are you there." ”

"Yes."

"One-Eye and I walked to the end of the hallway, there were three doors, and we didn't know which one to enter."

"Any hints?"

"Hmm......" Lorraine frowned and glanced around, finding that the wallpaper on both sides around the wall was the same, "it doesn't seem like binary is the problem this time." ”

"Could it be that you just went the wrong way?" One-eyed questioning.

"No, I re-checked, and the binary conversions are all correct, and they can match the value of e, and this rule should be correct." On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Colin was rarely very determined.

"That'...... Hey, there's an oil painting over there. Lorraine noticed an oil painting hanging on one side of the hallway.

The painting depicts several medieval women, their bodies twisted into somewhat strange poses, as if trying to express something.

"Colin, there's a painting here."

"What kind of paintings?"

"Hmm...... There are five people in the painting, a man, four women, the man is covering his ears, as if he is running away from something, very annoyed, one woman is standing next to the man and leaning back, and the other three women are surrounding the man, not knowing what they are doing, but they seem to be bothering the man......" Lorraine described the paintings simply and crudely, she had never known how to appreciate these medieval paintings, especially after experiencing the damn corpse eater lurking in the paintings at the Belvoir Hotel, and she now had a psychological shadow when she saw the paintings.

"Hey, white-haired rookie, these three doors are engraved with words."

The one-eyed voice sounded behind her, and Lorraine turned to see him standing in front of the three doors and beckoning to her.

Yay, white-haired rookie.

Sounds like white chopped chicken.

It not only shows that she is a rookie, but also explains her physical characteristics, which is really simple and easy to understand.

Unable to complain, Lorraine walked to the door, and following One-Eye's instructions, she also found that the doors of the three doors were engraved with English names.

"Colin, I've found it again, and the three doors are engraved with words."

"What word?"

“…… Like names, Alecto, Megaera, Tisiphone. ”

There was silence on the other end of the intercom for a long time, and then Colin's voice came—

"These three are the three goddesses of vengeance in Greek mythology, namely the goddess of restlessness - Alektu, the goddess of jealousy - Megila, and the goddess of revenge - Thesitone." He paused, and then continued, "Lorraine, the oil painting you see should be Erinius, Erinius is a nether god who lives in Hades, that is, Ketonios, who only came to earth when they wanted to punish the sins of the world. They are usually depicted as ugly old women or women with tall stature, blood-red eyes, snake hair and bat wings, and torches or whips in their hands, sometimes even in the form of human heads and dogs. Erinius's heart was filled with vengeful rage, and in hell they whipped those who had committed their sins in life. The troubled man you see in the painting is probably a person in the world who is troubled by insecurity, jealousy, and revenge. ”

"Whipping a man who commits a crime? We are not the ones who have committed sins. One-eyed raised an eyebrow.

"But what does this painting have to do with the three doors?" Lorraine frowned puzzled.

"I don't know, unease, jealousy, revenge, one of these three doors should be the exit of the labyrinth, that is, the location of the silver dagger, as long as you choose the right, you can find the dagger. It's a pity that there are no more hints, maybe this is a deliberate setting of the system, to try our luck, after all, luck is also a necessary factor for success. ”

"What the hell luck! What if I choose the wrong one? Blame ourselves for our own bad luck?! One-eyed glanced at the three identical doors, speculating about the world behind them.

“…… I don't know, probably. ”

Colin's answer was a little unsure, he didn't know if he really couldn't guess, or if he guessed something bad and didn't dare to say it.

"That's just one by one and try it out." Lorraine was silent for a few moments, then made up her mind.

"But there are only two of us, what if we can't get out after entering a door?"

"A two-thirds probability, a gamble?"

"If you lose, you will be gambling on the lives of 12 people." One-eyed rarely changed into a serious expression.

Lorraine sighed as well.

There is only a one-third probability of being correct.

Their gamble is dangerous, and they don't know if this speculation is correct, let alone what kind of world is inside the remaining two doors.

But judging from the words Colin just described, such as "holding a torch or whip" and "having snake hair and bat wings", it is not a good place to be.

Maybe it's really like One-Eye, and if you enter the wrong room, you won't be able to get out......

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

The atmosphere was a little solemn.

The decision of life and death seems to be in an instant.

The heavy price makes this decision even more difficult.

"Then let's try it."

The man's voice sounded behind him, and Lorraine and One-Eye turned their heads to see Mars appear behind him at some point, his arms still bandaged, and his body was also stained with blood, and it seemed that he was not having a good time during the time he was scattered.

"Mars! You're not dead......" Lorraine breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the scarred man approaching.

She had also been worried about whether Mars would die of serious injuries after pushing her.

Now it seems that her worries are unfounded.

This man is indeed very strong.

Even if he is a novice, his combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Even if you break an arm, you can survive on your own.

Mars bowed slightly, he walked over to One-Eye and Lorraine, looked at the door called [Revenge] in front of him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"In that case, let's just one door for one person, there is always one door that is correct."

Octavian: The first group of players

Mars, Lorraine, and One-Eye searched carefully at the end of the corridor, and after confirming that no other clues were found, they could only accept Mars's suggestion, and since there were no more clues pointing to the right door, the three of them could only choose one door each, so that one of them could always find the silver dagger and guarantee the victory of the team battle.

One-Eye chose [Jealousy], Lorraine chose [Uneasy], Mars chose [Revenge], and the three of them stood in front of the door, all a little nervous.

What kind of world would it be like behind the door?

Is it a cold-blooded monster who loves to kill? Or a room with a silver dagger?

With a one-in-three probability, will you be able to find the Silver Dagger?

Everything is unknown.

But what cannot be ignored is that this round is a [death-based] game, except for the old player One-Eye, Lorraine and Mars will be eliminated immediately once they die.

It's a very costly, but unhurried, game.

Perhaps, as Colin said, luck is a necessary factor for a successful person.

Of the three, only one person succeeds, and the fate of the other two is unpredictable.

Do you like to gamble? Now it's time to gamble your life.

"If only the Duke and Icarus were here, they're both veteran players, at least the cost of opening the door isn't that big......," Lorraine muttered as she lowered her head and took a deep breath of uneasiness.

Mars glanced at her, "...... The duke died. ”

"Huh?" Lorraine looked up at him in disbelief, and even One-Eye was deeply surprised.

"Icarus killed her." Mars added.

This sentence is like a thunderclap on the ground, which is more surprising than "the duke is dead".

"Why? Isn't this game a team battle? Are there hidden rules?! Colin on the other end of the intercom interjected.

"The Duke was captured by the hunters, and they injected her with something called [Alien Fluid], and within thirty minutes, she would die first, and then turn into some unknown creature."

“…… Is there no way to just her? Lorraine bowed her head sadly.

Mars shook his head.

"I see, that's what Icarus did." One-eyed snorted.

can rush to the top three on the blood list, what kind of emotional person can be?

Everybody is just cold-blooded.

Mars looked at Lorraine, who had her head down, took the gun from her hand, checked the magazine, and handed it to her after making sure the pistol was usable.

"Before you shoot, aim and shoot again, don't waste bullets."

“…… Thank you. ”

Lorraine looked at him and smiled warmly.

This fierce-looking man, when she first saw him, he was still a prisoner in the police station, and robbed her police car, but she didn't expect that he was actually a "warm" person.

"Thanks for what?" Mars frowned puzzled.

"Thank you for saving me and pushing me away, or I would have been crushed to death by the wall."

“…… I'm not here for you. ”

"Huh?"

Mars didn't answer anymore, only he knew that he was doing it because of the tattoos on his body.

Seeing that Mars no longer answered, Lorraine was not easy to ask.

All three of them put their hands on the doorknob at the same time, turned the doorknob, and pushed the door open.
