Chapter 4 Impasse
"You've triggered a team-based Dark Side mission!" Li Xiaopeng shouted in shock.
Not only Li Xiaopeng, but even Xiao Ai and Bai Ji themselves were taken aback. However, the voice from the system just now will not be false, it is indeed Bai Ji, as a newcomer, who has reached the conditions for inferring the dark side task first, because it was a team-based dark side task started by Bai Ji, and he himself received a reward of twenty points.
It stands to reason that the householder found that the dark side task, especially the dark side task with team-based rewards, should be too good to be good, but in this case, an old resident like Li Xiaopeng doesn't know whether to cry or laugh - the difficulty of this mission is beyond his personal ability, and even beyond the ability of most residents, and at this time, Bai Ji has triggered a more difficult dark side task, if it is not handled well, it is likely to lead to the death of all the residents participating in this mission.
"Situ Xiang was first killed by the parasitic spirits in his body, so there are only fourteen residents left, but the total number of spirits remains the same." Li Xiaopeng muttered.
"It also means that once an agitator kills a resident, it leaves the occupant's body instead of dying with it."
It was a tricky task, with a total of fifteen occupants involved, and if ten of the occupants were killed by spirits and only five of them returned alive, they would face a penalty of 500 points. 500 points, even a top resident like Liu Wentao may not have a balance of 500% for the system to deduct, right?
As Li Xiaopeng said, they are doomed to death now. Even if the remaining fourteen residents can survive seven days and return alive, as long as not a single spirit is killed, Bai Ji will maintain a state of 50 points, which also means that once the task is completed, he will be "gifted" by the system because of negative scores.
The two fell into a long silence until a drizzle began to fall outside the window. Seeing Bai Ji's dead face, Li Xiaopeng finally couldn't bear it anymore, he patted Bai Ji's shoulder and comforted: "Actually, our current situation is not as bad as you imagined. ”
Bai Ji shook his head, as a newcomer, he couldn't think of any countermeasures in this stalemate. And Li Xiaopeng saw that he didn't speak, so he spoke again: "Although the residents in the hotel are in their own way to survive in most cases, as you can see, this is a team-type dark side mission, and if you don't do it well, it will cause collective annihilation." In order to ensure that they can get through the task safely, it is believed that they will soon be in contact with our more vulnerable residents. ”
After hearing Li Xiaopeng say this, Xiao Ai in Bai Ji's head also said: "Although this person named Li Xiaopeng is very unreliable, I think he is right about this." If you weaker occupants are killed by spirits, they will be deducted points. ”
Even if both of them said this to Bai Ji, Bai Ji still had a gloomy face, and after a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "All the residents want to complete this task, and there are only three ways I can think of. ”
"Three?" Li Xiaopeng frowned, "But I can only think of one." ”
Bai Ji seemed to be saying to Li Xiaopeng, and he seemed to be saying to Xiao Ai: "The first way is to find a safe place to hide." I think the reason why the system teleported us to Bangkok was precisely because what we were dealing with was evil spirits, and there were a huge number of temples in Bangkok, not to mention whether these temples really had powerful magical powers, but they could more or less affect these supernatural monsters. ”
"But this method is not very feasible, first of all we don't know how strong these spirits are, and whether the temple can actually affect them. The second is the mechanism of deducting points, if a resident dies at the hands of spirits, even if we can successfully avoid a catastrophe in the temple, then we will be given negative points. ”
Bai Ji paused, and then said: "And the second method is the most common method, to gather the strength of everyone to survive, and to destroy the parasitic spirits in our body as much as possible within this week. But there are certain risks associated with this method, first of all, we are not aware of the nature of the spirits that live in our bodies, what if they are more capable than we think? Will the convergence of all the spirits lead to a change in strength? Or is there simply no one among us who can destroy them? ”
Indeed, you must know that the score of a mutant alien is only five points, and the value of a spirit is as high as fifty points, which can be obtained by all households, which shows that the strength of these spirits is far above that of the mutant alien.
After that, Bai Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly said the third method, which he thought was the safest and most reliable method among the three methods. And after listening to what Bai Ji said, Li Xiaopeng and Xiao Ai couldn't help but gasp.
Dark, terrifying, deadly, and absolutely doable.
The system's quest prompt clearly states that for every occupant killed by a spirit, all occupants will be deducted 50 points.
What if the occupants were not killed by spirits?
Although Xiao Ai learned that residents would also be "gifted" by the system if they directly killed their companions without the explicit requirements of the task, the system did not explicitly stipulate that residents could not harm each other. In other words, if a resident wants to attack another resident, he can be crippled and thrown into the middle of the road to fend for himself.
"As long as the occupants are not killed by spirits, they will not be deducted 50 points." Bai Ji said, "Although there is still a certain risk, as long as the capable residents kill the weaker ones, and then slowly clean up the remaining spirits, it is not difficult to complete the task, and the strong can even rely on this method to earn a lot of points." ”
This method sounds extremely brutal and cold-blooded, but I have to say that if there are no critical accidents, it is indeed a plan that is very suitable for the strong. Li Xiaopeng suddenly felt that Bai Ji, who could come up with such a plan, was as brutal and cold-blooded.
"Use all the resources available to you to get back to the hotel alive."
Bai Ji suddenly remembered what the system had said to him during the novice mission, and then thought that the Desert Eagle, which only had seven bullets, might not be used to deal with the aliens at all, but to maim other occupants - using other occupants to attract aliens and buy valuable time for his escape.
This is not the fatal trap of the system at all, but the system is supposed to be like this, so that the residents can learn to be indifferent and ruthless in order to survive, and even abandon what little humanity they have left. Thinking of this, Bai Ji couldn't help but sigh and said, "So what we have to do now is not to seek support from other residents, but to avoid other residents. ”
Li Xiaopeng's mouth closed one by one, and he wanted to say something, but he still nodded, looked at Bai Ji and said seriously: "Although I can't find any other reason to refute you, I think that no matter what the moment is, the party that gives up human nature is not worthy of survival." ”
Then he looked out the window and said, "There is a strong man in this mission, and he is an expert in dealing with spirits. I don't know if he can think of the third way you said, but if we want to live, the only strength we can rely on is him. ”
......
Meanwhile, on the street at the other end of Bangkok, a black-haired man in black appeared out of thin air on the side of the road. The man had just landed, and immediately summoned a yellow rune paper from his finger as if by magic, although it was erected in the rainstorm, the rune paper was already completely soaked, but it still burst into a red flame, and it was turned to ashes in no time.
"Sure enough, it's haunted by evil spirits." The man smiled coldly, and as soon as his mind moved, there was immediately a blue-gray ancient knife on his back.
Then the man's body shook, and a pure black shadow immediately drilled out of his chest.
The shadow was like ink, swinging in the air but gathering instead of dispersing, but gradually turning into a human form. Before the black shadow could transform into limbs, the man bit the middle finger of his right hand, and stabbed the black shadow in the chest with a sword finger.
Seeing the blood curse flying, the black shadow let out a scream similar to that of a human, and turned around to flee. When the man saw it, he just pulled the ancient knife behind him, and the place where the blade passed was cold, and when he looked again, the black shadow had already dissipated in the rain.
"Successfully killed one Spirit, number of remaining Spirits: 14." The man heard the cold voice of the system coming from his head.
This person is naturally the murderous man Bai Ji saw in the hotel lobby, and he is also the "strong man" in Li Xiaopeng's mouth.
His surname is Ye Mingye, and he is a resident who has exchanged the bloodline of a cultivator. Although he was not so terrifyingly strong in terms of strength, the strong true qi in his body was the most effective killing move against supernatural monsters.
I saw Ye Ye put the ancient knife back into the scabbard, casually looked at the task prompt that had changed, and dialed the voice of his girlfriend Muse, who was also a hotel resident, in his mind. As soon as the voice was connected, Ye Ye said in a low voice: "Amu, I have successfully arrived in Bangkok, but it seems to be slower than the average resident. Another thing I know for sure is that the man I saw in the hotel lobby was Bai Ji. ”
When Muse heard the word "Bai Ji", he was a little excited, but he asked with some doubts: "Huh? Why? How did Bai Ji come back? ”
"I don't know the specifics, but it's true that Bai Ji is right, he even started the dark side mission of this mission." Ye Ye shook his head and said that he believed that the system must have a reason to do so.
"How difficult is the mission?" Muse asked again.
"It's an evil spirit, it's just a piece of cake for me, but to Bai Ji......" Ye Ye paused and said, "I seem to understand why the system arranged for me to enter Bangkok at this time, let's not talk about it, I have to call the-eating person first." ”
"Be careful." Muse said so.
After cutting off the voice with Muse, Ye Ye immediately broadcast the "-eater", and after connecting it, the other head was yawning lazily, obviously in a state where he had just woken up.
"Why didn't you tell me that Bai Ji was back?" Ye Ye said angrily.
The voice on the other end was obviously a little confused, "What? Have you seen Bai Ji? ”
"Not only have I seen him, but he is not far from death now." Ye Ye said, "No matter what, you must contact Bai Ji immediately, if I can't get his place within three days, then you can wait to spend a thousand points to resurrect him." ”
Before he could reply, Ye Ye cut off his voice.
Liu Wentao, who had just woken up, was still looking at his watch with a confused expression.
