There is often a fine line between good faith and bad faith.

Because of the positioning of concepts and individuals, people will always wander around this line.

Today's impulse may be yesterday's thoughtfulness, and the narrowness of one second may become grandiose the next.

It depends on where they are.

……

Time is blurred.

Or rather, the concept of "time".

Ding Zheng raised his hand, wanting to leave a mark on the wall, but as soon as he raised his hand, he completely dispelled such an idea.

First, such behavior may cause noise, and secondly, ...... It doesn't have a clear meaning.

How long have they been in this loop?

Nobody knows.

According to the normal time calculation, Xu Qing judged that several of them had been in this closed space for two days.

Yes, two days!

It was dark, silent and eerie, with no superfluous sounds, just the sound of staccato footsteps and difficult breathing that would occur every once in a while.

"She's coming!" , Xu Qing raised his head, removed his ears from the wall, and gestured towards Ding Zheng, who immediately patted the seventy next to him and asked him to look at Zhang Liang and the two in the corner.

This process has made them extremely tired, the female ghost is like a lord patrolling her territory, she seems to have been circling in circles, but the time is not fixed, she seems to be unconsciously carrying out such a move, whenever she passes by, Xu Qing and the others must be on full alert, so as not to alarm this ghost.

They don't know if this ghost is "Su Rui" or the so-called "Lisa", or maybe it's just an image of her, and as for the real situation, they have no way to find out.

Rao is the most bitter seventy, and it is difficult to squeeze out a smile now, the wound on his hand has healed, but the exoskeleton armor has lost power - even if it can be equipped, it needs to be recharged, or rely on other parts of the exoskeleton armor to achieve energy replenishment, in short, he is in a very poor state now.

An eerie gasp sounded in the passage, as if the person who made the sound was going to die in the next second, but it was always moving, Xu Qing's fingers gently pressed the weapon in his hand, God knows what he was thinking, maybe he was brewing an active attack?

However, no one moved, and the sound faded away, and when the sound disappeared completely, it was as if another stone had been thrown into the abyss, and there was no trace to follow.

"Yes."

Xu Qing scolded softly, he leaned his body against the wall, but his fingers were still pressed on the prepared weapon, the habit that had seeped into his bones made him always stay vigilant, but in a few days of exhaustion, how effective this vigilance could be, he himself did not know.

Such an atmosphere is enough to drive people crazy.

During this time, Xu Qing and the others did not feel thirsty or hungry, and the excretion problem that could have become a big trouble was not revealed, which was not in line with the "realistic mode" they were in before.

In the past two days, everyone seized the gap to explore the surroundings, and more than ten hours ago, they even passed through the expected "loop" passage head-on.

However, when they returned to the original point in the form of "hand in hand", the situation did not change in any way, and the expected events did not appear.

"We may be trapped in a hallucination." , Ding Zheng stared straight into the darkness and muttered.

Xu Qing responded, he had been doubting this matter, but this was probably the answer that made them the most desperate.

Because it's hard to logically work.

He remembers that when discussing the haunted house copy later, he also raised a similar opinion with Gu Bin, that is, about the question of "if we were in a fantasy at that time".

Gu Bin replied helplessly: "Once you fall into a state of 'suspicious hallucination' in a certain process, then unless there is a clear idea and method to solve it, too much worry is meaningless." ”

But now, Ding Zheng has every sense to think so.

A space beyond the structure of the underground base itself, an elusive ghost, vanishing bodily needs, a vague concept of time, when they come together, form a thick fog.

The deep darkness shrouded the twisted metal mesh and walls, Xu Qing walked to the door, staring carefully at the darkness outside, as if he was examining the abyss that was close at hand, but it seemed to hide a dark monster, it was dormant and devoured.

A phrase that he had seen from somewhere came to his mind.

"You look at the abyss, and the abyss looks at you."

……

Gu Bin was trying to move towards the depths of the base.

The only thing that could tell him about the outside world was the vibrations that were getting higher and more frequent.

He didn't know the location and predicament of Gu Yisheng, Xu Qing and others, and he didn't know that at this time, on the ground, those remaining experimenters were facing a frenzied pursuit.

His communicator was always on, and the signal light on it was flashing faster than before, which meant that the distance between Gu Bin and one or more communicators was decreasing.

But the problem is that whenever Gu Bin tries to make a call, he doesn't get a corresponding response.

It was as if the communicator had been left somewhere, but this was the only coordinate that Gu Bin could use as a reference, so he had no choice.

Whether it was a profiteer, or managers such as Zede who helped him unlock his character attributes and "trap" him, they didn't give Gu Bin enough guidance, and all Gu Bin could rely on was the information and resources he controlled.

He used the Scarlet Reaper to pick open the corpse of an unknown creature, and Gu Bin didn't even have time to determine which world this monster belonged to, because he almost instinctively cut this guy in two at the first time, and after its head was in a different place, it directly turned into a puddle of mud.

After checking the passage left and right, Gu Bin removed the body of a researcher who had collapsed at the elevator door - his head seemed to have been drilled by something, and blood mixed with tissue flowed out, and the miserable state was unbearable to look at.

It could have been the tragedy of the decapitated monster.

Gu Bin was about to become numb, he could only rejoice, along the way, there were not too many dead researchers, in some of your more critical places, Gu Bin even "hidden" those fainted researchers in some still hidden rooms, this is the only thing he can do, there are too many people, and what he can do is extremely limited.

He could only hope that those monsters that appeared inexplicably would not kill too much......

"I should be able to use it once......"

After confirming that it was safe, he took out a prop from the inventory, nothing else, it was Dr. Zede who stuffed himself with the ID card printed with Zhao Yan's photo as a title prop after helping him with the "operation".

Off-hand weapons, to be exact.

"Unstable Monitor: Off-hand equipment, when equipped, it will not be able to use dual-wielding weapons, consume 120 points of stamina to launch an unstable monitor, enter the target you want to monitor by voice, it will provide you with a scene related to or near the target, maintain 10 seconds, have a cooldown of half an hour, and the equipment is rated 'excellent'...... GIVEN THAT IT HAS THE NOKIA LOGO ON THE SIDE, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE IT FOR SOMETHING MORE VIOLENT. ”

Half an hour ago, Gu Bin had already used this prop once, and that time, he locked on to Gu Yisheng.

At that time, he had just arrived near the innovation base, and the image fed back by the monitor at that time was actually pitch black, for ten seconds, Gu Bin didn't see anything, and only black was displayed on the screen.

"So who to lock up this time?" Gu Bin thought while waiting for the elevator to arrive.

At the time of the last lock, Gu Bin had already determined that the voice input here must be the target's game character ID, which made Gu Bin more or less disappointed, because according to the current situation, if this prop can be searched according to the real name of a target, then it means that its real utility is definitely beyond the virtual scope of the game.

In other words, it's something that crosses boundaries.

"GOD NOKIA." , He turned the instrument sideways, and complained about the sign faintly engraved on the side of the instrument with the corner of his mouth.

The existence of this symbol is not simple, at least it fundamentally eliminates the possibility of Gu Bin smashing it in a fit of anger when he fails to use it...... Unless he wants to smash the ground out of the pit.

"Locked, empty release."

After thinking about it, Gu Bin decided to report Xu Qing's game ID.

The "unstable monitor" reacted almost immediately, this time the picture was not completely dark, Gu Bin could see some flickering lights and shadows, most of which were dim red, this perspective seemed to be passing through layers of walls and barriers, it can be seen that it seemed to be rapidly "descending" from Gu Bin's position.

Finally, after about 5 seconds, the picture freezes.

There is a shocking scene in the picture, a rickety shadow standing in the middle of the hall, and on the ceiling of the hall, a large number of iron cages are hanging, and there are all human figures inside.

"This is Su Rui?" Gu Bin almost immediately recognized the woman standing in the middle of the hall, with more than half of her clothes destroyed, but then he moved his gaze to the iron cages.

The shadows were too dense and the light was too dark for him to see.

But in one of the iron cages at the forefront, there was a man lying with a sniper rifle in his hand...... The man seemed to be unconscious, but the gun never came off.

"Ding Zheng ......"
