Chapter 269: Balance of Strength
"Why?"
Du Deming and Situ Cao spoke in unison at the same time, looking at her with curiosity on their faces.
I frowned, thinking about what Zhao Qiqi said.
Fear, fear......
"Is it because they do all this to make us feel scared? But what good is that for them? I was talking to myself with a confused face, but I couldn't figure it out.
When Zhao Qiqi heard this, he nodded a little unexpectedly: "That's right, that's right!" That's their main purpose. So, having guessed this, I wrote a note in advance before they even noticed me, and handed it to you when you came to my house. ”
"Wait, what do you mean? Why don't I understand what you're talking about? Du Deming tapped his head: "Hey, am I too stupid?" ”
Zhao Qiqi snorted and laughed, she tilted her head and looked at Du Deming: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." ”
"You recall, from the very beginning after we left the 'True Demon' platform and returned to the real world, Zhang Qiang invited us to dinner, and then a series of strange things followed, and then the master who suddenly appeared in the Internet celebrity temple, the lonely grave where the barren mountain trapped us, and the old man in the funeral shop in the weird town after going down the mountain, and everything that happened to Gao Wei later. If you think about it, isn't it all too coincidental? Zhao Qiqi squinted his eyes and reminded.
"It's a bit of a coincidence that you say that. In that case, is everything deliberately arranged after we enter the game world?? But...... Even if the 'True Demon' players are playing the game a lot more than we do, they don't necessarily have the ability to do so many things, right? Situ Cao also began to think along Zhao Qiqi's train of thought.
"What's so strange about that. On the other hand, if these abilities are given by the 'true demon', does it make perfect sense? Zhao Qiqi sighed, with a very regretful expression: "It's a pity, it's a pity that they are also given such abilities by the 'True Demon', so they are also restricted from some behaviors, such as ......"
"Like killing us directly?" I said quickly.
"Yes. As it stands, I'm 85 percent sure that the 'True Demons' must have made some restrictions on what they had to accomplish in order to exclude people from other teams, and not directly kill us with the abilities given by the system. That's why I said, it's a pity. Zhao Qiqi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and a pair of bright eyes flashed with essence: "It seems that the team that has been hidden in the shadows and has the strongest strength is, in a sense, the weakest." ”
"The strongest is also the weakest. This is the principle of the balance of strength of the 'True Demon'. I listened to her words and muttered.
So why do they have to make us fearful? Could it be that only if we are afraid and afraid, they can take advantage of it? What exactly? Du Deming finally understood, and he also began to think.
At this moment, Shen Mu, who had been listening to a few of us without speaking, suddenly let out a string of evil laughter.
"Hahaha......" He laughed for a long time before finally turning his gaze to a few members of our team: "The analysis is in place, admire and admire!" I didn't expect that there would be someone with such an extraordinary IQ in a small team like yours, and I really looked away. In the beginning, I was always on guard against another team, but I didn't expect you to be the biggest threat. ”
Zhao Qiqi squinted at the silence of a person whose temperament had completely changed, but his expression had not changed much.
"At first, I was aware that someone was trying to make us fearful, but I didn't guess why, but my gut told me that it might be the work of some other team, although I didn't have any evidence, maybe it was just instinct!" Zhao Qiqi paced in front of several of us, and finally walked to Du Deming: "So I had a faint conjecture in my heart, and then I finally confirmed that my conjecture was right." ”
Du Deming just wanted to ask, but she waved her hand.
"Probably the restrictions set by the 'True Demon' are related to the degree of fear, so since before we entered the game world, you have been constantly creating strange phenomena and instilling idealism in us, in order to make our hearts feel fearful, so that after entering the game world, you can get rid of us one by one according to the regulations of the 'True Demon'. However, you have not calculated that there are people within your team who do not want to do this, and it is because of them that we have been able to live in peace until now. In a way, you've lost now. Zhao Qiqi said, turning his head to look at me: "Gao Wei, do you remember the key people who appeared when we encountered those strange events in the real world?" ”
"Key person?" I frowned, and immediately began to recall, I touched my chin with one hand, and muttered: "I remember, if you count from the beginning, Brother Long, who Zhang Qiang knew before, the middle-aged woman who burned paper at the crossroads, the driver of the late-night bus, and the mysterious delivery man who brought me the corpse of a rat, by the way, the old monk of the Internet celebrity temple and the old man of the funeral shop in the town." But...... Are these people related? ”
Zhao Qiqi saw that I was puzzled, but just smiled: "You count, how many people are there in them?" ”
"A few people ......" suspicion flashed on his face, but in the next second, I suddenly seemed to understand something, and quickly looked up at Zhao Qiqi: "Six!" Exactly six!! Could it be ......"
Hearing this, Situ Cao and Du Deming also suddenly understood.
"Six people? Could it be that the people who appeared before were all from the same team? Situ Cao said, subconsciously turning his head to look at the silent people whose faces were already colorful: "Impossible, those people are what they pretend, right?" Oh, my God!! ”
"You've finally figured it out. That's right, in the real world, every time something weird happens, the characters that appear are all pretended to be from their team. The purpose was simple, because at that time, they were already acting to complete the task set by the 'True Demon'. At that time, we were completely kept in the dark. Zhao Qiqi showed a smile of relief.
After listening to her words, several of us were a little shocked.
It took me a long time before I finally came to my senses.
I turned my head to look at Wang Liping and the others: "You are indeed very cunning and very good at layout, if it weren't for the 'traitors' in your team, I think we would have been wiped out by now." ”
