Chapter 337: Who's Manipulating
"Yes, that's right." Zhao Qiqi looked at me with a strange look: "Actually, when Gao Wei told me at that time that he saw the mysterious pattern behind the notice of the school's outing to the students, I had some kind of conjecture in my heart, but I am not completely sure. It wasn't until I recorded my confession not long ago that I was finally able to confirm it when Fang Gang showed me the photos taken by the forensics officers of you when you were in the cottage. ”
As we listened to her words, we felt an indescribable strange feeling creep up our backs.
"Qiqi, what are you sure about? Let's talk about it! I, I'm a little scared. Zhang Qiang said, and grabbed my sleeve as a bird.
Of course, the next second he was disliked by me.
At this moment, Zhao Qiqi spoke: "At that time, the confession had been recorded, and when I was about to get up and leave, Fang Gang handed me the photos they took when they were in the cottage, and let me see if there was any problem." Then, I noticed that something was wrong. ”
"Where?"
Everyone asked in unison.
"I looked at the photos carefully several times, except for about four or five square meters where Liang Shiya and Yang Yiman were arguing, the other areas were dark, and nothing could be seen, and there was nothing wrong at first glance. However, when I kept staring at that dark place for a long time, I found that the mysterious red and black triangle shape gradually emerged in that dark area. But when I looked at the picture again, the pattern disappeared out of thin air, as if it were my illusion. When Zhao Qiqi said this, she paused slightly, her face became more and more solemn, she glanced at us, and spoke again: "But I know very well that it is not my illusion, but something that really exists!" ”
"Oh my God! According to you, is it possible that everything is being manipulated by some mysterious force? It's also horrible. Situ Cao's face couldn't help but turn blue, and she turned her head to look at me: "Gao Wei, do you remember anything wrong?" ”
When she said this, all kinds of pictures kept appearing in my mind, and a large amount of information poured out instantly, and I opened my eyes in a daze and nodded blankly.
"Yes!!"
Not only are there any, but there are so many!
Why haven't I found out?
Thinking of this, I stood up as if I had just woken up from a dream, and after walking a few steps, I turned to look at the other teammates.
"Liang Shiya started arguing with the head teacher inexplicably as soon as she got off the bus, which is very strange, as far as I know, she is at least on the surface a person who pays great attention to her demeanor and image. It is impossible to get along with the head teacher because of such a thing, even if they kill Wu Xin, it is impossible to do such a thing, this is the first strange place. I walked up to Du Deming and reached out to clamp his shoulder: "The second thing is the quarrel between Jin Xi and Liang Shiya. It stands to reason that since Jin Xi wants to avenge Wu Xin, she must minimize her sense of existence, which is the safest way, but she seemed to be suddenly stimulated, and choked Liang Shiya in front of everyone. Wouldn't that make it easier for others to notice? It didn't fit her mental state at the time. ”
Du Deming saw that I was a little excited, and looked at his shoulder helplessly: "Gao Wei, don't get excited, speak slowly." ”
I came back to my senses, quickly let go of my hand, and looked at him with some apologies: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I was just a little emotional for a while." ”
"It's okay, keep talking!" Du Deming smiled and shook his head.
"There are also some suspicions, that the six of them quarreled so abruptly, as if they were suddenly guided by something, and besides, don't you think that the abandoned school we entered at that time seemed to have an indescribable strange feeling in itself? I could clearly feel that something was watching our every move. At first, I thought it was the camera installed by Liu Ruzhen, but later I recalled it carefully, but found that the feeling did not come from Liu Ruzhen's camera, but something else! In addition, in the end, Liang Shiya went crazy, and Xuejiao is also very likely to go insane, all of this seems to be deliberately pointing to a place!! ”
"Where??" Zhang Qiang couldn't help but ask.
Du Deming's eyes rolled rapidly, and finally he suddenly looked up at me with a sudden realization, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes: "You mean the mental hospital?" ”
"That's right, it's a mental hospital!!" Zhao Qiqi suddenly spoke.
She said this, clicking on the game trailer on the survival bracelet.
"You see, our next horror game is a generic horror game called 'Who's the Crazy Maniac'. ”
When several people heard this, they quickly approached her.
When we see the above, we are all choking.
Because in addition to the name of the next game, there is a line of small print below the game trailer - "The game starts in a mental hospital in a certain city." ”
"Psychiatric hospitals? It can't be such a coincidence, right? When Zhang Qiang heard this, he immediately rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and he turned his somewhat stiff neck with difficulty: "You, what do you think?" It won't be the same as I thought, would it? ”
For a moment, I felt my hair stand upside down, and I unconsciously took two steps back.
"In other words, this event that happened in reality is likely to have some kind of inevitable connection with the 'True Demon', if you think about it further, will it be that even the things in our real world are carefully arranged by the 'True Demon'? So, who is behind all this? After saying this, a deep sense of powerlessness came to my heart.
It was as if I was in the middle of some kind of dark vortex, carried down by a mysterious force and sinking downward, but I had no way to resist.
"So what do we do now? Oh my God, what the hell is going on here? Zhang Qiang looked at Zhao Qiqi with a sad face, and there was a trace of despair in his voice.
"yes, what will happen to us in the end?" Du Deming sat back on the sofa with blank eyes, muttering to himself.
Zhao Qiqi looked back and forth at the few of us with dark eyes, and then sighed.
"Don't be so pessimistic, I'll tell you the good news!" She said, swiping her hand down on the air screen of the survival bracelet: "Although I don't know what the reason is, the start of the next game has suddenly been delayed, originally we could only rest for five days after the last game, but now it has suddenly become a month, which means that in addition to the two days we have wasted, there are now 28 days enough for us to rest." In any case, we can all use this month to take a good rest, and since there is no way to solve the rest of the matter, then don't think about it so much just yet. ”
I looked at her and nodded slightly.
Several other people also accepted the reality with different expressions.
Anyway, this matter has finally come to an end.
At this time, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning, because the time was too late, so at Zhao Qiqi's suggestion, the other five of us all lived in her apartment building.
There are many rooms in the apartment building, and they are all empty.
We were all curious about why Zhao Qiqi didn't see a vacant room to rent out, and we only learned from her later.
It's not that Zhao Qiqi doesn't want to rent out the house, but this is rumored to be a haunted apartment by the outside world, so even if she has kept the price extremely low, no one wants to rent it from her.
Of course, I am also very strange, it seems that Zhao Qiqi is the only one here, but she has never seen her parents, but Zhao Qiqi kept silent about this matter, and then we gave up asking.
The four of us, except for Du Deming, lived in different houses under Zhao Qiqi's arrangement.
Fortunately, the house seems to be cleaned on a regular basis, so it is quite clean.
One night without a dream, the next day, we went back to our respective homes after breakfast.
Now that the next game starts, I'm a little more relaxed when I think about it.
However, I did not slack off.
On the contrary, during this time, I often went to Du Deming and Zhao Qiqi to ask for martial arts moves, and under the intensive training of the two of them, my fighting moves finally changed from a chaotic fight to a bit of a stance.
In addition, I did not fall behind in the school's curriculum and thesis, but completed the first draft of my graduation thesis ahead of schedule.
At the same time, I also searched for some related information on the Internet for the next game.
Zhang Qiang, this kid, would also come to my rental house from time to time after school to chat with me with lo-mei and barbecue, and at the same time, under my supervision, he also began to think about improving his killing skills on the premise of trying not to use things from the menu list.
Of course, after the painful lesson of the last game, I persuaded Zhang Qiang to consume 18 survival points to exchange for a piece of armor called "Good Luck Dog Chain".
Although at the beginning, after Zhang Qiang heard this name, he said righteously that even if he died in the game, he would not wear such a thing.
However, under my coercion and temptation, he finally relented.
This piece of armor, called the "Good Luck Dog Chain", can be used in both otherworldly horror games and normal world horror games. Based on the above introduction, it seems that it can activate special effects with a certain probability.
The number of activations is 10 in total, and if the activation is successful, it will help the player to survive the danger, but if the activation is unsuccessful, it will only eliminate the number of activations once, and there is no use for anything else, obviously, just like gambling.
Judging from the setting, it does have some blood, but after all, because the exchange of survival points is low, it is generally a good and inexpensive piece of armor.
Time flies, and before you know it, more than twenty days have passed.
When I realized this and checked the time, it dawned on me that there was less than an hour left before the next game started.
