Closed doors
In other words, it is not a big deal to lock a door. Genius remembers the first three or five in a second
But if you think about it, there's a lot going on behind it.
At first glance, the doors here are very ordinary two-way opening and closing doors, with a handle control switch on each side of the door, and there are no keyholes or locks or anything, which is very simple. But if you look closely, you will find that there is something like an iron piece at the top of the doorknob, which is actually an electromagnetic lock, and when the power is on, the iron sheet on the side of the door panel and the door frame will become a powerful magnet, which will be tightly attached to each other, so that the door cannot be opened.
The rules said at the beginning that the door may not always be opened, so Xiang Nanxing noticed the mechanism on the door from a very early age. It's just that he has never encountered this situation before, so he vaguely thought that this was probably used to control the host. For example, when a player violates the law and tries to chase the other in the maze, she can lock the doors along the way, or close the doors on all four sides of one of the players, artificially creating obstacles.
In fact, it is more likely that these closed doors were part of a labyrinth that forcibly cut through the otherwise open area. In this case, there is a possibility of such a thing as a "dead end". Xiang Nanxing was still planning to avoid conflict and stay away from his opponent in his round, but if he was forced into a "dead end" and his opponent happened to chase after him from behind, even if he was reluctant, he couldn't avoid that fight.
This tricky setting has finally emerged. Now, for the first time, he crashed into the walls of this labyrinth.
"It's embarrassing. I just said that drawing a map is not that important, and I wonder if I can withdraw those words. ”
Xiang Nanxing thought in pieces, and after confirming for the last time that the door could not be opened, he decisively turned around and left the room from the other side. But before leaving, he did one extra thing.
"Before you have the ability to draw a map, you can use this as a marker."
Xiang Nanxing placed the empty box after taking out the ammunition in the middle of the foot of the wall on one side of the room, and put the patterned side down. In this way, the next time he came to this room, if Nangong Huangqi hadn't been here during this period and hadn't destroyed the scene, Xiang Nanxing would know that this was the place where he had stayed when he saw this box.
"The placement can be random, but the key is that the pattern is facing down on one side, and that's the real characteristic. Although this practice does not mark the route, it can be detected when you turn back. ”
Xiang Nanxing thought as he strode into the next room. Here he drew the gourd, turning the box in the room over and placing it in the corner, only this time he did not take the only bullet in it, but left it in the box and left it as it was. This is also to confuse the opponent and make it difficult for him to perceive the laws inside.
Because of an unexpected change, these extra jobs, and spending some of his energy thinking about these strategies, Xiang Nanxing's exploration speed slowed down significantly this time. He eventually stopped in the third room after departure, where he encountered a second door that would not open, shattering his chances of reaching the fourth room.
Before the countdown was over, Xiang Nanxing originally wanted to stay in the middle of the room as before, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and in the last two seconds, he took a few quick steps forward, turned around, and stood directly against the wall and stood on the corner.
"If you try this new idea once in a while, maybe it will work wonders?" He thought.
This is a new idea that he came up with on the spot, and it can be regarded as a strategy to attack the strong and defend the weak. Unlike the mode of standing in the middle and monitoring four directions, he stood in the corner of the wall, relying on the warning distance of six meters, and could theoretically bring most of the space in the three rooms behind the wall into his perceptual range. If the opponent came from this direction, he would have been able to spot the opponent's track without having to go to the door, which was enough time for him to move his feet to determine the exact room the opponent was in, and to prepare everything for the attack.
What's more, if the other party thinks that he is standing in the center of the room according to the optimal choice, and is ready to aim at where to point before rushing in, there will be a little hesitation when he sees the empty middle. This short gap is Xiang Nanxing's chance, in this case, even if the shot is slow, he is really likely to threaten the opponent who is good at rapid fire.
Of course, there are gains and losses. If he chooses to be on one side, it means that he will inevitably relax his guard on the other side. If the other party enters from the other end of the room, even if they step into the room, the distance between him and him will still be more than six meters. In this way, only when the other party sees Xiang Nanxing after entering the door and triggers the rule of "attack time", Xiang Nanxing can recover consciousness, but when he sees it before making a move, the opportunity must have been taken by the opponent, and he can only be beaten passively.
Not to mention whether the VR devices of both parties will be turned on during the "attack time...... The host didn't make it clear. The worst-case scenario for Xiang Nanxing was that Fang was already unilaterally abusing him, and he was still trapped in the dark, unable to see anything, let alone make any counterattacks.
Of course, this is based on the premise that the other party is really coming from the other side. In the current situation of being more certain, he can still take a little risk.
Xiang Nanxing took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes slightly, welcoming the darkness that would come again.
"Still, I still care about it." He was talking to himself.
"The first exploration was unimpeded, and the second time I started to encounter a series of doors that could not be opened." He thought to himself, "Although it makes sense to say that it is luck, how can I vaguely feel that someone seems to be manipulating here......"
In the next few rounds, although Xiang Nanxing was worried all the way, the result was still unpleasant. Except for his first exploration after the duel, he used an orthodox defensive position standing in the middle of the room in every subsequent move, and the distance he explored was strictly limited to three rooms, no more and no less. There was a lot of time after exploring, and he was not in a hurry to go to the next room, but stood in the center of the third room and closed his eyes to think. When he encounters a door that can't be opened, he just changes it without thinking about it. The only principle in this process is probably not to turn back. It seems that even if it has been confirmed that this is really a labyrinth with walls and twists and turns, Xiang Nanxing is determined to walk until he sees a dead end.
No matter how detoured you are, you have to move forward. It's better than turning around and crashing into a tracking enemy head-on.
Along the way, Xiang Nanxing also insisted on leaving the box. Although the placement was irregular, he always placed the pattern facing upwards downwards or sideways, creating a code that he knew himself. Of course, he could remember the rooms he walked through during this series of explorations, but if there was another duel, he would have to be prepared to be knocked down again. If he starts again in a different place, and finds the marker he placed before while exploring, then he will be able to avoid many detours.
However, even if he did these things, he relied on the distance he had gained a lot of time this time, but no matter how much he thought about it, he still couldn't find a way to surpass Nangong Huangqi. During this time of exploration, he obtained a lot of bullets, and in addition to the full magazine, the ammunition in his pocket was enough to support him for the next few rounds of bullet fire. However, it is a pity that these are all special bullets, and they can't kill people's rubber heads. After exploring this way, he still failed to find the live ammunition he needed the most.
Of course, it can also be said that he is too slow to explore. For the disadvantaged side, speeding up the exploration and trying to find live ammunition as soon as possible seems to be the only feasible way. If it is someone else, it is rare to distance yourself from the other party at this time, so you should move forward quickly, run six or seven rooms in a round, do nothing, and rush to collect bullets. Even if you unfortunately bump into the enemy and there is an encounter in the process, it is just a matter of gritting your teeth and holding on. If you lose and transfer, then change places and continue to run, in short, find live ammunition first, and get the really powerful weapon in your hands.
However, Xiang Nanxing wanted to say that even if he really got the lethal ammunition, it had to be able to hit.
Xiang Nanxing has already experienced it firsthand, with the difference in shooting ability that the two of them are currently showing, the other party can block all his counterattack methods before he makes a move, and he can master the rhythm of the entire duel by the way. In those ten seconds, Xiang Nanxing shot back indiscriminately, and it was difficult to shoot after aiming, let alone hit the target.
Before his bullets could touch Nangong Huangqi, it was all nonsense to talk about physical ammunition and weapon deterrence.
And in this time when there was almost nothing, he faintly felt that the other party's dangerous aura was slowly approaching. Compared with Xiang Nanxing, who was bent on opening up the distance, Nangong Huangqi's side really wanted to fight. It can be seen that, just like in the first round, he wants to use a series of blows at the beginning of the game to make his opponent lose his fighting spirit.
"It turned out to be a big circle, and it was back to the most boring answer."
Xiang Nanxing smiled bitterly, took out the revolver, withdrew the bullets one by one, and pushed them back one by one. This seemed to be a ritual, when he had just put the last bullet into the magazine, the countdown to this round had just ended, and Xiang Nanxing's eyes were dark.
The opponent's turn begins, and it's time to focus on defense. However, Xiang Nanxing seemed to ignore this, and even intensified it, and actually withdrew the bullet that had just been loaded. Unable to see or hear, he relied on the tactile sensation of his fingertips to re-press the six bullets into the magazine.
"Very good, I'm getting used to it."
With a flick of his wrist, the freshly filled magazine spun quickly, and then snapped into the barrel of the gun, looking like a shot from a Western. He picked up his gun and pointed at the door in front of him from afar - he could feel that Nangong Huangqi was not far away.
"After going around in a big circle, I can only come to the conclusion that it sounds like a beautiful word."
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a confident smile was played.
"If you want to beat you, you have to keep improving in the course of this game."
"Is that possible, though......"
smiled confidently, and turned into helplessness.
