With Shen Lingshuang's almost ruthless goodbye, Xiang Nanxing heard the door slammed shut. Then he was greeted by another thirty seconds of darkness and silence.
He stood quietly in the middle of the room, waiting for his turn to come, his mood unusually calm. He held the revolver in his right hand and repeated the cycle of exiting the bullet and pressing it in in his left handβa movement that he had become much more proficient at after taking time out of the rounds of repetition.
For the room he was in at this time, he trusted Shen Lingshuang's judgment, and the latter was always on his side in this game. After that conversation, she brought her unrecovered self to this room, so at least it means that this room is safe, and it is basically impossible for the other party to find it in this round.
So as he expected, thirty seconds later, when Xiang Nanxing opened his eyes, everything in the room was as usual, and no one else had come except him. When he arrived just now, he noticed that there was a box in the center of this room, and it was placed in strict accordance with the rules with the pattern facing up. This means that no one has been to this room yet, he is the first, and by the time the game has progressed, there are fewer and fewer new rooms in this way.
Xiang Nanxing had received two bullets from the box, but unfortunately, they were the same special bullets as the other bullets he had obtained so far, which were the kind of special bullets that could not kill people. From the beginning of the game until now, he has stockpiled close to fifty rounds, which is a large number. Of course, there are also reasons why it is difficult for him to make a move when he fights against Nangong Huangqi, so he saves some bullets, but according to Xiang Nanxing's judgment, the number of bullets that Nangong Huangqi has hoarded at this time is at least more than 20 rounds, regardless of consumption, only comparing the cumulative number of bullets obtained, the two of them should be almost a few different.
During this period, every bullet of Nangong Huangqi hit him. Xiang Nanxing believed that if the standard bullet had been found, the young killer would definitely put it in the gun as soon as possible, and then aim at the vital point and fire it fiercely. The fact that he is still alive shows that the other party is like himself, and all he has found so far are special bullets.
"Combined, the two of them must have explored more than half of the rooms in this area. I've been to places where it's obvious in the last few rounds that I've been a few times, and if the coverage isn't up to a certain level, it shouldn't have been possible to do that a few times in a row. β
Xiang Nanxing said to himself, "The search coverage rate is half, assuming that the room with live ammunition happens to be in the other half of the area that has not been searched, then no matter who it is, as long as it finds a room that no one has set foot in yet, then there is a greater chance of getting live ammunition than before...... It's not good, the disadvantages of repeated defeats are beginning to show. β
Not long after the game began, Xiang Nanxing didn't take the outcome of the "duel" in the game very seriously. In his words, defeat is just a change of place and a fresh start, and the initial game area is still in a state where the map is not yet open for both players, and most of the rooms are shrouded in unknown clouds. Whether it's a well-organized search, wandering around, finding whatever it is, and finding that particular room are pretty much the same.
But at this stage, the situation is very different. As the winner of every duel from the beginning to the present, Nangong Aragai has continued his route from the first search to this day. Except for one time when he hit a cul-de-sac where three doors could not be opened, and had to go back the way he came, the rest of the time he searched for rooms that were new to him. With each step, the map he knew steadily expanded.
On the other hand, Xiang Nanxing's side, although Shen Lingshuang took him to a new room every time, he started his search from a new starting point, and sometimes he would accidentally walk to the place he had walked before. Although Xiang Nanxing had used a special technique to mark himself, the information contained in it was at most to tell him that he had already been here, but it was not enough for him to smoothly connect the map fragments that he had found twice.
So as the game progressed, the number of rooms that the two sides stepped on gradually increased, and Xiang Nanxing's search efficiency finally showed a significant downward trend.
"It's starting to get a problem. But beyond that, there's a ......"
Xiang Nanxing muttered. His gaze quickly swept over the four doors in the room, and after making sure that none of them were anomalous, he instinctively chose one of them. Xiang Nanxing walked forward quickly, stretched out his hand and just wanted to open the door, but as soon as he exerted his strength, he found that the doorknob was not moving.
"As soon as I said that, this happened again." Xiang Nanxing smiled bitterly, "It's this kind of 'no way' again." β
He tapped the closed door lightly, a thoughtful expression. From his second round, he was in this situation. In the first round of exploration, he was unimpeded, and from that time on, he would encounter this kind of situation from time to time, although the number of times was not much, but it was always disrupted, which was a little annoying.
But if it's just a labyrinth wall, it's nothing. The problem is that Xiang Nanxing faintly feels that this is not a pre-set wall, but more like the result of someone remotely controlling it. The evidence is that once before, when he went to the room he had searched, he chose to explore the surroundings of that room and find other traces of his own walking, so as to awaken the map in his previous memory and connect the two searches.
However, in the process of completing this matter, Xiang Nanxing unexpectedly found that there was an extra "wall" that could not be passed. There was a door that was locked, but Xiang Nanxing clearly remembered that when he was still exploring here before, it was clearly in a state that could be opened, and he had walked through it before.
In other words, even if there is no human control, the walls of this maze will still change randomly, which makes it much more difficult to build a map. But compared to the trouble caused by this, thinking about whether there is someone behind this matter is the more important key for Xiang Nanxing.
At the beginning, Xiang Nanxing also thought about whether this was Nangong Huangqi's ghost, such as what special props he got from the game, as long as he touched it, he could lock the door and something like that. But he just had such a thought in his mind, and he was immediately vetoed by himself - it was obvious that Nangong Huangqi didn't need to do such a thing at all.
If he could have predicted that Xiang Nanxing was going to pass through a certain gate, then he would not lock the door at all, but would only wait on the other side of the door to start a battle. This kind of unilateral duel with full advantage is simply more and more for him, so how can he take the initiative to give up? What's more, if there is no map on both sides, it is impossible for the player to have the coordinates of the door, and there is no way to send a command to close the designated door remotely. If you want to close the door, you can only do it in a place where you can touch it.
But as I said just now, if Nangong Huangqi had come so close, he would definitely open the door directly and continue to chase Xiang Nanxing, who was already injured.
And in Xiang Nanxing's view, it is doubtful whether this privilege exists. First of all, the host didn't mention that players can find privileges in the maze when they introduced the rules, so this thing was originally his current assumption. In addition, according to his understanding of the organizers, if they did put certain perks in the maze β like bonus items β they would never have put only that one. With a similar search range between players on both sides, the chances of finding these bonus items should be roughly equal. If Nangong Huangqi had found it before the second round, it was unlikely that Nanxing had not been able to meet it until now.
But for him, he had to prepare for the worst for now - maybe this kind of thing did exist, and Nangong Huangqi had already obtained it, and for some reason, he could remotely control the door to be locked. This statement seems very mysterious, but it can explain his vague feeling so far.
"The walls formed by these locked doors seemed to drive me towards him."
Xiang Nanxing thoughtfully pressed on the door panel, turned around and walked away. The countdown on the right side of his vision reminded him that most of the time had passed in the round, and that even if he barely moved, he would only be able to explore one room at most.
He stood in the middle of the room and thought for a moment, deciding to stay where he was for this round and make sure he was safe. But staying doesn't mean giving up the opportunity to explore. Xiang Nanxing quickened his pace, starting from the door that couldn't be opened just now, and planned to walk around the room and open the other three doors in turn.
The few seconds left were not enough for him to explore farther afield, but he could at least glance at the boxes in the room on the other side of the door as soon as he opened the door, to determine if the room was new or had already been stepped on by one of them.
He walked to the left, opening the door on the left first, then facing the locked side. The doors of the first two rooms were opened, and the box pattern inside was placed squarely in the center face up, as if it had not yet been explored. In the next round, when it is his turn to explore, Xiang Nanxing can consider choosing one side from these two as the way forward.
It's just that when he opened the last third door, Xiang Nanxing suddenly froze. He forgot to let go of his hand on the doorknob like that, and his eyes stared at the scene inside.
"What's going on?"
Seeing the long room in front of him, which was completely different from other places, Xiang Nanxing vaguely felt that he had dug up a treasure.
