Chapter Seventy-Eight: Nosebleeds
"Crunch!"
As the soles of Gu Bin's shoes made contact with the wooden floor, the tooth-sore sound swirled around the room. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The black mist that surrounded his body dissipated after two turns, Gu Bin looked around cautiously, and then took a cautious step.
It was still the kind of sound that made people sore from the teeth to the scalp, which made Gu Bin have no confidence in the floor under his feet, and he felt that the ground on the second floor would crack at any moment.
But after walking a few steps, Gu Bin was relieved.
In one corner of the second floor, a large number of metal parts were stacked, and it is not difficult to tell from their appearance and construction that these things were or will be part of the trap used by the butcher, which occupied a corner of the second floor, and were very messy, and on the side of these parts, there were several simple tools, apparently used by the masked butcher when assembling the trap.
It was clear that the Mask Butcher would often come to this place to repair and assemble his traps.
Without waiting for Gu Bin to make a move, the mechanical fox that had been carried on his back suddenly became active, only to see that it suddenly broke free from the simple package that bound it, and barely hung on the wall next to it with its twisted and deformed metal limbs.
"How?"
Gu Bin asked subconsciously, and then he noticed that the mechanical fox's eyes were locked on the pile of metal parts, and he immediately had a plan in his heart.
He certainly doesn't forget how his home desktop computer was scrapped.
It seems that this pile of scrap copper and rotten iron is very much in line with Zhao Yan's taste!
Seeing that Zhao Yan was about to rush into the pile of metal parts, Gu Bin hurriedly grabbed him and motioned him to wait for a while, while he poured Valred into his eyes and looked at the pile of scrap iron parts again.
In the energy vision, the parts were dead objects, a deep black, and Valred did not react to them.
Seeing this, Gu Bin no longer stopped Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan didn't forget to look back at Gu Bin when he got into the pile of parts, and a pair of foxes actually showed a look of contempt in their eyes, obviously very dissatisfied with Gu Bin's blocking behavior just now.
"!"
Gu Bin shook his hand at Zhao Yan continuously, and seeing that the mechanical fox had already burrowed into the pile of parts, he didn't pay much attention to the observation, and instead focused on other places.
There was a white light flickering behind him, but there was no sound, but it was Zhao Yan who was fusing these metals at a slow rate to repair his mechanical body, and the light became a ready-made light source, which was convenient for Gu Bin to observe the surroundings.
This is obviously not a bedroom or a residence or anything like that, but rather a temporary workshop, in addition to the pile of parts that are gradually being "absorbed" by Zhao Yan, there are many other miscellaneous items placed elsewhere on this second floor, including some bits and pieces of mechanical parts, and when Gu Bin approaches, he can smell a strong smell of gasoline on it.
After thinking about it carefully, Gu Bin didn't touch these scattered things, but turned to the other side.
Although the materials of this house are old and decayed, the space is not small at all, except for the corner occupied by Zhao Yan now and the side of the room where generator parts are piled up, Gu Bin has not been there on the other side.
The staircase was at the very front of the second floor, just opposite the window they turned into, Gu Bin slowly walked to the staircase, looked at the left near with the energy vision that had not yet dissipated, and after confirming that there were no traps and warning information, he gestured to Zhao Yan in the white light and began to walk downstairs.
In fact, he didn't have to be so careful, as early as when he was observing around the house, several killing crows had already been arranged by him, and these crows did not rise into the air, but hid in a few tricky positions under his control, observing the surroundings like a fixed-point camera, as long as there was a strange movement, Gu Bin could also detect it at the first time.
But the murderous intent hidden in the previous execution rack really made him feel palpitations, Gu Bin estimated his current physical condition, I am afraid that if he does it again in a short time, he will not have to be hung up as bacon by the butcher, and his life may also return to the west.
Halfway up the stairs, Gu Bin was already able to see a lot of things through the light of the generator on the first floor.
The space on this floor is probably larger than that on the second floor, but on the side of the first floor, there is a generator with a faint light, judging from this light and the faint sound, this machine is probably of the same variety as the several outside.
"Tsk?"
Gu Bin smashed his mouth, the appearance of this generator made him a little stunned, he quickly took out the map, and began to compare the marks on the map.
"In the case of generators, it should be this symbol." , Gu Bin touched his chin and locked a red mark on the map with his gaze, the first thing he locked on was the generator he had come into contact with when he was entangled with the mask butcher before, the location was very recognizable, located on the side of the wall of the closed area.
His eyes swept over the map, and fell on the northwest direction of the first mark, more than two hundred meters away from him was the mark of the second generator, and the "stranger" who had reached a silent tacit understanding with him before should be hiding here.
Then there is the third one, which should be on the other side of the area, and if you draw the central axis of the whole map, then it should be the location of the first generator.
The fourth, on the south side of the map, is in the woods.
That's all the generator markers on the map.
"I see...... It seems that this map can also be misleading to a certain extent. After thinking about it carefully, Gu Bin figured out the contradictions.
The conditions for opening the escape door are clear and clear, that is, to repair enough generators, but the number of repairs seems to contradict the requirement to repair the generators themselves, because according to the number on the surface, it seems that the butcher only needs to guard one of them to be able to put his prey in a dilemma.
"Interesting." Gu Bin put away the map and looked at the machine in the room.
This is very much in line with the style of dungeon and quest design in "The Edge", just like many seemingly unsolvable puzzles, there will always be some details hidden under the surface "unsolvable", and these details often need to be explored by the player himself, once found, not to mention whether the situation can be reversed, at least it will be a good harvest.
It's just that now in Gu Bin's mind, these so-called "copies" have become some real things.
Nothing can be more complex than reality, and nothing can be more cruel than reality.
Both the reality of "us" and the reality of "them".
He didn't release the heart flex element at the first time, and he didn't dare to touch the generator, although in Valred's energy vision, there was no problem with this generator at all, but Gu Bin still didn't dare to act rashly, Valred was not an invulnerable existence, and the residual energy that had penetrated into his thigh before was enough to show this.
Of course, it may also be that he is not good at learning, thinking of this, Gu Bin can't help but miss Miles a little bit again...... Wait, Miles?
The name flashed through his mind, and Gu Bin only felt as if he had grasped something extremely crucial, but not so accurate.
There was a swelling pain in his brain, Gu Bin frowned and pressed his temples, and began to continue to explore the entire room, but the doubts and uneasiness in his heart became heavier and heavier.
On the first floor of the house, in addition to the generator placed separately, there were two other things that Gu Bin had to care about, which were two large, steel cubes, connected to pipes like chimneys, and the ground below, which at first glance looked somewhat similar to a water tank, but its shape and structure were extremely suspicious.
To be precise, these two behemoths are incompatible with the painting style of the whole house, and even in this entire enclosed area!
Gu Bin looked at the two iron guys that stretched all the way to the ceiling, and then looked at the fence next to them, and said in surprise: "Did this thing exist before, or did the butcher or someone build it deliberately?" ”
The previous conjecture was quickly overturned by Gu Bin: "It shouldn't be, this fence should have been repaired at the same time as the things inside, why is the inside so brand-new, but the outside is mottled like this?" And everything here seems to be based on the topography of the University of S...... Why did I spend four years in college and not even know that such an inexplicable thing existed? ”
"And in a university, there shouldn't be a building in this location."
Gu Bin was confused, he walked around one of the iron cubes twice, trying to find any words or buttons and handles that could prove its identity, but this iron sheet really seemed to be just a whole, let alone buttons and words, Gu Bin didn't even find a gap.
"It's not scientific!"
This time Gu Bin was really surprised, of course there was no problem with his eyesight, even if he had a slight myopia before, but after the body changed, this defect has been eliminated, not to mention that now he uses a body with "edge" attributes, his eyesight has long entered the non-human category.
But it was under this premise that he could not find even the slightest crack or crack in the object in front of him, and at the same time, he could not see a single depression!
The metal seems to be natural, and has not been processed by human beings at all.
After repeated observations to no avail, Gu Bin lost his patience, he stood still, carefully infiltrated Valred energy into his eyes, and after confirming that there was no problem, he threw out an identification technique towards the steel box in front of him.
"Boom!"
As if he had received a hammer on his head, Gu Bin's whole person was stunned in place, his mind was blank, he only felt that the top of his lips was quite wet, and subconsciously reached out to touch it.
In the dim light, he saw blood on his fingers. (To be continued.) )
