Chapter 8 Letters
Qin Feng looked around, and now he was able to take a closer look. It seems to be a strange "labyrinth", which is closed, not the open-air kind. The labyrinth has a width of five meters and a height of four meters.
The walls, floors, and ceilings were all made of broken wooden panels, broken bricks, fragments of tiles, broken marble, broken concrete, broken glass, rotten furniture legs...... Something like this sticks together. It's as if the building was blown up to rubble, and then a labyrinth like this was built out of those fragments.
In the field of vision, there are all those broken building materials, furniture fragments, densely packed, it can be said that it is a nightmare of dense phobia.
This bizarre "labyrinth of ruins" is enclosed, but still has light due to the lights on the ceiling of the labyrinth. Those lights are either kitchen lights, chandeliers, or light bulbs. Some are broken, some are almost intact, but they are all eerily bright, emitting strange lights of different colors.
Qin Feng squatted on the ground and tried to pull out a piece of wood from the ground, and he succeeded. But the uprooted wood festered at a strange rate, and soon turned to powder.
- Objects cannot leave the ground. Qin Feng thought. He took this one to heart.
"Qin Feng." Su Qiqiao greeted Qin Feng twice, "I found something here." ”
"What's that?" Qin Feng asked.
"A letter," she replied, "says something strange...... Here you go. ”
Qin Feng took a letter from her hand that was covered with blood stains and stains.
[Item Information: Envelope of the Deceased]
[Attributes: None]
[Characteristics: Required for Quest Plot]
[Notes: A letter written by someone seems to imply something.] 】
He opened the envelope and began to read it, and the text of the letter read:
……
"I don't know what's going on here...... But there are monsters here! ”
"The city that used to be a labyrinth of things, I don't know what's going on, and my friends and I came back from drinking...... That's how the world has become. I'm stuck here, dying all the time...... Always come back to [here is blocked by blood]...... It seems like something is wrong with my memory...... I have a rough idea of where to find out what the problem is......"
"And"
……
The letter came to an abrupt end at the "and", and a large area of blood was splashed with ink, and judging from the content and the blood stains on the envelope, most of the people who wrote the letter were ill-fated.
At this moment, the voice of the Lord God rang out.
[Main quest has been triggered: find out the truth of the 'labyrinth' and escape from the labyrinth]
Qin Feng first ignored the main quest for the time being, and instead touched the blood stains on the envelope.
…… It's wet.
"Su Qiqiao!" He immediately shouted in a low voice, "Ready, the blood on this is fresh, and the monster may be nearby!" ”
When Su Qiqiao heard this, his pretty face turned grim, and he took out a sword from his space bag. The sword was unpretentious, without a sword grid, the hilt and the sword body were integrated, and the cold light flowed.
Nameless Sword.
And Qin Feng also took out a [pistol], which was the one he had always kept at home, and he put this gun in his bag and brought it to the world copy.
"While the monster is not coming, I will explain some reasoning first, and you should also beware of the monster." Qin Feng said slowly.
"Now, let's move in your direction. Because the initial state of the letter is open, and the handwriting is facing you, the direction of the person writing the letter is also facing you. Qin Feng said slowly, "And he was killed by a sneak attack by a monster on the way to write a letter: this can be explained by the unfinished handwriting and bloodstains on the envelope. The handwriting and blood stains at the end, both in a relatively wet state, prove one thing: the monster has just killed a man here. And from the back of the road, he secretly approached the man and killed him. ”
Su Qiqiao nodded and looked intently at the front of the labyrinth passage they were in, while Qin Feng took out his gun and looked at the back of the labyrinth passage.
"Then why didn't there be corpses and other bloodstains, only the blood on the envelope and the envelope?" Su Qiqiao asked, his voice relatively calm, "...... And why are we moving towards the aisle? ”
"Why there were no corpses and blood trails, I don't know," Qin Feng said, "but I know why I moved towards the front of the passage." ”
"The monster came out from behind the corridor, and your direction, that is, in front of the corridor, is where the person is facing. The letter said that he could probably find out what the problem was. This means that he is not running aimlessly through the maze, that is, he is facing the right route for him. Qin Feng continued to reason, "This is a fairly obvious hint: we should go in the direction where the handwriting is facing. Because there is a cause for the labyrinth in that place, or the chance of the labyrinth exiting will be slightly higher. ”
"Hmm...... I see. Su Qiqiao nodded, indicating that she understood.
"Okay, move carefully," Qin Feng said, "but don't get your hopes up too much, because this is a labyrinth, and you don't know what it will turn around." All I can say is that this place should be the direction we are heading in for now, at least to avoid the awkward situation of 'walking aimlessly'. ”
Su Qiqiao nodded.
"Continue with the letter." Qin Feng continued, "The person who wrote that letter should be a fountain pen, the ink control and fluency of the nib are quite good, and the ink is also expensive. As for the stationery, I remember it was a high-end brand that made special stationery for the rich who loved to be nervous...... One may cost about 150, and I've seen a star on the set take that folded paper airplane, and it was super bad and flew not far. ”
Su Qiqiao was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to laugh a little...... Because she heard Qin Feng, screenwriter Qin gritted his teeth when he said the words rich and star...... Thinking of Qin Feng, his screenwriting career was pitted miserably by some brain-dead investment tycoons and partly brain-dead fresh meat stars.
"A guy who can afford to use that kind of letter paper and pen should have a high status as a letter writer," Qin Feng said, "and he said in the letter that he went drinking with his friends...... This kind of person usually has to talk about some work, and it is not surprising to bring a pen. As for the envelope, I don't know why an envelope popped up in his hand...... But that's not important. ”
There are two things on the envelope that cannot be explained. The first point is the 'we are constantly dying', and the second is the handwriting that is blocked by blood......" Qin Feng said as he also showed the letter to Su Qiqiao, as if he had deliberately pointed out the two suspicious points.
Su Qiqiao also wrote down those two doubts.
After finishing the information he had deduced from the envelope, Qin Feng opened the safety of his pistol, loaded it, and was ready to deal with the sudden battle.
He and Su Qiqiao walked cautiously. His physique is F, although the [Combat Suit] on his body can greatly increase his physique, but it still does not exceed the upper limit of F-level, but ordinary people's physique also has E-level...... Even Su Qiqiao's physique is E.
Facts have proved that compared to his mental power, mental value and psychological quality, Qin Feng's physical fitness is completely rookie...... No, weak chickens.
God knows how he cleared the initial mission of the Evil Spirit Castle yesterday.
"If you don't get the recoil of the pistol, you can make me take four or five steps back......," Qin Feng sneered in his heart. Although he had a gun, he had never fired it, or he had never had the opportunity to do so.
However, a pistol is better than a short knife. In case of encountering a reptile, spine monster, the short knife slashed into the bone and couldn't pull it out, Qin Feng and the monster stared at each other in a stalemate...... Then the monster bit off Qin Feng's waist with a "Ahhh
Luckily, he also has a [Miracle Bullet Iron] skill. Although the three-minute interval is a bit disgusting, the surprise and unpreparedness of that move is still quite sharp.
As he walked, Qin Feng suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong with Qin Feng?" Su Qiqiao asked.
"Look at this." Qin Feng bent down. As mentioned earlier, this labyrinth is something that looks like it is made up of waste from building materials. The floors, ceilings, and walls are all rubble, wood, and glass.
At this time, a certain piece of glass on the ground was hooked with a piece of blood-stained silver-gray suit fabric.
"On the cloth, the bloody gas is still very fresh......," Qin Feng said, "The platelets are not completely coagulated, and if you touch it casually from above, there is blood left on your fingers that have not completely dried up." It should only be hooked for no more than two minutes. ”
"It should be that after the person was killed by the monster, he was dragged away by the monster, and the fabric of the suit was hooked...... Just why didn't there be blood? Qin Feng looked at the piece of fabric, and after a while, he suddenly wiped the blood on the cloth on a tile in the ground.
Strange things happened: those blood stains actually slowly seeped in...... Seeped into the ground.
Su Qiqiao, who was standing behind Qin Feng, quietly shivered.
"Well, now we know why there's no blood on the ground." Qin Feng said calmly, "The maze sucked the blood away. Well...... The ground sucks blood, like a creature. ”
"In addition, the fabric of this suit, even a poor person like me can see that it is either rich or expensive," Qin Feng said to Su Qiqiao, "As for whether this thing is custom-made by hand, because there are no stitches and sewing marks on this piece of fabric, you can't see it." But it's definitely pretty good material. ”
"Is it expensive?" Su Qiqiao asked casually.
She was actually a little flustered now, thanks to Qin Feng's constant analysis and reasoning, which didn't make the atmosphere become frozen and tense, otherwise she would have been trembling.
After all, the fact that "the whole labyrinth could be a super creature" made her shudder.
"Of course it's expensive," Qin Feng sighed, his tone was quite depressed, "This suit may have a dozen, or even hundreds of thousands...... Look at the size of this piece of cloth, and you might be able to buy the script for my entire movie when converted to scale. ”
Qin Feng stood up, threw away the suit cloth, and muttered as he threw it: "So it's the most annoying thing to say that rich people are the most...... Especially those investors who only think about hard placement ads in Uncle Ben's perfect script hate ......"
"Qin Feng, that's what investors should do." Su Qiqiao couldn't help but spit out.
"Ah...... By the way, those stars who dislike the script and change the script if they don't act well are also super annoying......" Qin Feng looked at it with a blank eye and said in a rather unkind tone, "One day I will use a gun to go over and break their heads one by one." ”
"Hey, Qin Feng, your tone sounds like you're really going to do this!" The corners of Su Qiqiao's mouth twitched.
However, when screenwriter Qin interrupted it like this, and Su Qiqiao's sister complained like this, the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more lively, not as tense and full of a sense of crisis as before.
Walking and walking, they finally reached the end of the road. In front of them was a three-choice question.
