The dead end is not being able to name names, and looking in the mirror!

"This ......" Cheng Guoguo was thinking about Xu Lang's conjecture on the side, and the information that Xu Lang had just exchanged knew that a mysterious person had told him a dead end, that is, he couldn't name it.

Because Jiang Hui's death and Ruan Fei were all known by the old man in advance, he had an accident when he looked in the mirror.

So the accuracy of these two dead ends should be very high, but Cheng Guoguo still feels that in terms of the current intelligence, he still ignores something?

Then he said to the crowd: "There is really no doubt about these two dead ends, but I always feel that something is not right, as if we have forgotten something. ”

When everyone heard this, they began to think carefully about the situation of this mission, except for Lu Xiaozhi, who still didn't know what he was thinking.

Xu Lang and the others fell silent by Cheng Guoguo's speculation, what was missing?

Cheng Guoguo, who was the first to realize that something was wrong, the alertness of going through three missions made him feel that things were not so simple, and after looking back on the various tasks he had experienced, he suddenly realized a key point!

Then Cheng Guoguo excitedly said to everyone: "I thought of it! ”

"Most of you here are newcomers, and you don't have much experience in execution, even No. 1 (Xu Lang) has been in the newspaper for a short time, so there are many unspoken rules in the task, and you don't know yet."

No. 1 is Xu Lang, this point has been discussed before, only Li Feng was a little stunned, he didn't understand what No. 1 meant, Zhu Zixing looked at him like this and then explained: "Because of the particularity of this mission, let's not call him by his name, use it as a code name." ”

"No. 1 (Xu Lang), No. 2 (Cheng Guoguo), No. 3 (nameless), No. 4 is me (Zhu Zixing), and you are now No. 5 (Li Feng)" Speaking of this, Zhu Zixing glanced at Lu Xiaozhi who was leaning against the wall in a daze with some loss, and did not continue.

Lu Xiaozhi has already known the name of the evil spirit, and this mission is almost a mortal existence, and there is no need for a code name or anything.

After everyone nodded, Cheng Guoguo continued: "For example, this rule is that some phenomena or information are often used in the mission to let us find our way out!" ”

Xu Lang was a little strange, thinking to himself Isn't this nonsense, we all know it, frowning and not speaking.

As if seeing Xu Lang's doubts, Cheng Guoguo said with a smile: "If you think about it in reverse, the mission will only hint at the way of life, but I have never heard of hinting at our dead end through clues!" ”

"Huh?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and finally understood what Cheng Guoguo meant. ‘

Regarding Jiang Hui and Ruan Fei dying in the mirror, the dead end has been confirmed through the death of the two, so the situation that there is not a single mirror in the ancient castle is not an extra move?

Xu Lang whispered: "In other words, the situation that there is no mirror in the castle is a hint of the life path that the mission leaked to us!" ”

"That's right!" Cheng Guoguo swore and replied with great confidence.

For a while, all the executors gasped, thanks to Cheng Guoguo, the little fat man, who realized the clue he had ignored, otherwise this clue to the way out would have been abandoned, and this was the only clue to the way out so far.

Xu Lang thought in his heart, although this little fat man is usually not in shape, he does have outstanding ability, and pointed out the shortcomings of his guess in time.

Just when everyone's faces were happy and their morale was high, Nameless was a little puzzled, frowned and said: "No, since there is no mirror in the castle, and we look in the mirror is a dead end, then how can the mirror be the way to live?" ”

Silence, everyone was silent again, yes, although I got a clue to the way out, but it was not feasible!

At this time, Zhu Zixing raised his hand a little timidly, as if he had some thoughts in his heart, but he stopped talking. Xu Lang nodded and motioned for him to say casually.

Zhu Zixing then said: "I have a puzzle, that is, about the priority of two dead ends! ”

"Oh?" Xu Lang suddenly became interested when he heard this, and wanted to hear what he thought.

But at this time, Li Feng interjected impatiently: "Now I'm thinking about the question of life, you have nothing to mention about a dead end, don't you just know what a dead end is?" ”

Zhu Zixing became more and more determined at this time, and retorted: "Brother Li, what you said is not right, don't say that the way of life is still unclear now, even if we already know what the way of life is, we have to find out the trigger conditions of the way of death first." ”

"You can only explore the way to survive if you promise to survive first, right?"

Xu Lang is becoming more and more satisfied with Zhu Zixing's performance, his thinking is extremely complete and rigorous, and he doesn't even look like a newcomer who is performing a task for the first time.

Xu Lang nodded with a smile and said kindly, "Yes, you continue." ”

Zhu Zixing cleared his throat, and was still a little apprehensive when he spoke for the first time: "Personally, I think that these two dead ends have a priority, or they must be triggered by both before the evil spirit will start." ”

"You see, Jiang Hui, Ruan Fei, and Lu Xiaozhi all told the old man's name last night, but they were fine all night. Instead, Jiang Hui was the first to look in the mirror in the morning and was killed, and then Ruan Fei's plate shone on his face, thus being killed. ”

"Could it be that looking in the mirror is a dead end that takes precedence over telling the name, or is there still a lot of dead ends that we don't know about, and if you violate more than two rules, you will be killed!"

It can be said that Zhu Zixing's reasoned reasoning almost subverted everyone's initial assumption of a dead end. In fact, this idea also existed in Xu Lang's mind before, and he had this speculation when he was nameless and told him that he had encountered an old man at midnight.

But he didn't want to believe it, and he didn't tell everyone, because it was a task that didn't fit the average level of difficulty, and second, that such speculations were too demoralizing without any actual basis.

Sure enough, his words made the faces of the executors begin to look ugly, what he said was so reasonable, and there was even no room for refutation at all, Zhu Zixing's logic could be said to be completely flawless.

They tried to find the loopholes in this inference, but failed, so they were now faced with the question of what unknown rules were there? If you can't find out in advance, it's very likely that everyone will unknowingly trigger a dead end!

Thinking of this, Nameless had something to say, it can be said that there is still an unknown dead end, which is already the one he encountered, and then he spoke: "When I observed the castle at midnight last year, the old man himself said to me, 'You can't go out of the room after twelve o'clock in the night,' and said that it was the last warning to me. ”

Nameless has been silent since the executors discussed the meeting, acting as an observer, and never took the initiative to discuss, but at this moment, he suddenly opened his mouth, but attracted everyone's attention.

Cheng Guoguo looked at Nameless and immediately remembered, "No, didn't you also tell the old man's name No. 3 (Nameless)?" If you go out and get discovered, and two dead ends are triggered at the same time, how can you possibly survive! Even the old man reminds you not to go out? ”

Xu Lang had long been aware of this problem, and replied instead of Nameless: "The name of No. 3 (Nameless) is different from all of us, and even the content of the mission is called by that code name. ”

Of course, everyone understood what Xu Lang meant by this, because Nameless itself has no name, and the name "Nameless" itself is just a code name, so he is the relatively safe one in this mission.

But Xu Lang felt that something was wrong, shook his head and said, "It's still not right, do you think that if walking out of the door at night is a dead end, when will the evil spirit remind us when we trigger the dead end?!" ”

"This ...... What does that mean! Everyone couldn't quite understand what Xu Lang meant.

Xu Lang patiently explained: "When asking for a name triggers a dead end, the old man doesn't have any reminders; When looking in the mirror triggers a dead end, the old man immediately kills people. But why did Nameless walk out of the door after twelve o'clock in the night and encounter the old man without any danger, but would be warned by the old man? ”

Cheng Guoguo pointed at Nameless with his finger and said in surprise: "Could it be that walking out of the door at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night is not a dead end at all!" ”

"Yes, the reason why the old man showed up to tell this warning is to make us think that this is a dead end."

"On the contrary! This evil spirit is simply afraid that we will walk out of the house after 12 o'clock in the night! ”

Zhu Zixing was shocked by this conjecture, and said with some surprise: "In this way, walking out of the door at night will not only not be a dead end, but the best time to get clues?!" ”

Everyone thought of the portraits that Nameless had seen in the hallway last night, but they had mysteriously disappeared during the day today, and this conjecture was indeed very likely.

But Nameless said: "I'm not sure, this conjecture is completely based on our oral analysis, and there is no actual support at all."

What if it's the ambiguity of my name that causes me to have a dead end where my name doesn't exist, so the dead end of getting out of my room is just the first dead end I violated? ”

"If you only break a dead end, the evil spirit will probably not do anything to me!"

The excitement of everyone was extinguished by this sentence again, yes, what Nameless said is also very reasonable.

Xu Lang waved his hand and said, "Actually, I also think that this current speculation is a bit vague and too risky, so it's better to be safe." ”

Cheng Guoguo hurriedly said, "What do you have in mind?" ”

At this time, Xu Lang looked at Lu Xiaozhi, who was always far away, he had completely become a walking corpse, and in his opinion, he had lost the motivation to live.

He didn't hear the discussion of Xu Lang and the others just now, of course, he also heard that he had triggered a dead end on the first night he arrived at the castle, and he originally wanted to ask the seniors to propose marriage.

But when he thought of the tragic deaths of Ruan Fei and Jiang Hui, a deep sense of powerlessness gradually flooded his heart, his body became heavier and heavier, and he didn't even want to think about it.

Xu Lang walked in front of Lu Xiaozhi, slowly squatted down, looked at his godless eyes, and said word by word:

"Give you a chance, do you still want to live?"
