Chapter 36: Dead Silence: Level 2

Gorgeous 'flowers' bloom in the center of the theater.

The 'flower' of blood.

Zhu Xiaowen raised his head, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, watching the world in front of him be stained red with blood.

His tongue had been torn out of his mouth by an invisible force, and it slowly flew into the air, rolling with Billy's fingers until it was shattered. The blood in Zhu Xiaowen's whole body was rushing to his head, spurting out from the ruptured dorsal lingual artery, making him look like a blazing torch.

After burning out, it fell to the ground with a bang.

"Whew!"

Nao almost screamed, but she bit her lip so hard that it was bloody. This is the last hope that Zhu Xiaowen desperately brought to them, and it must not be disappointed.

Lu Yu's mouth also tasted the taste of blood. His mouth was tightly closed, his features motionless as a resolute rock, and he didn't even notice that he had clenched a few teeth.

And Seth's face was already in tears.

They are not stupid, Zhu Xiaowen's abnormal behavior that is almost seeking death, they understood it the moment they saw it.

Because I understand, I will grieve, blame myself, blame myself for not knowing enough about my friends, and I have to rely on this way to distinguish the true from the fake. It may be said that everyone here is the murderer who indirectly killed Zhu Xiaowen.

"Oh, it seems that there is no need to be sure, you all already have your own answers."

Puppet Billy's disgusting laughter rang out, breaking the silence of the scene. It was still playing with a bit of scrap of Zhu Xiaowen's tongue in its hand, and it simply stepped on Zhu Xiaowen's body that had just fallen.

The eyes of the three of them have been nailed to it, and if the gaze can kill, the puppet Billy has died tens of thousands of times by this time.

"Yo, yo, don't worry, I'll announce the results now." Billy the puppet paid no attention to the murderous gaze, and pretended to clear his throat before saying, "The result of this level is ...... Congratulations! Pass them all! ”

"Papapapa......" The puppets around them applauded cooperatively.

At this moment, Lu Yu rushed forward two steps, and then was frozen in place.

"I really can't be careless against you...... This time it's true. The puppet Billy's eyes glowed green, and he locked on to Lu Yu tightly.

When the little puppets applauded just now, they slightly dispersed a little 'spirit' spirit, making the force that bound everyone a little weaker, and Lu Yu, who was preoccupied at any time, did not let go of this opportunity, and the 'spirit' divine power counterattacked and temporarily got rid of the curse and made a decisive assault. It's just that Billy reacts so quickly that he only takes two steps before he is restrained again.

This time the puppet Billy didn't dare to be careless. The green light in its eyes was even stronger, and it was so heavily blocked that Lu Yu couldn't even move a finger. It wasn't until it was confirmed that it was safe that it turned around and 'revealed' its disgusting, kind smile again.

"Well, with the brave sacrifice of your teammates, you have successfully passed the first level. I hope you can inherit his will and live bravely. Billy clapped his hands, and immediately a small puppet handed him a piece of chalk.

It took the chalk in its hand and played with it, and continued: "It seems that everyone's morale is high and there is no need for rest, so let's take advantage of this momentum and solve the remaining two levels in one go!" ”

It loudly announced: "The second level is called ...... 'Pass Pass'!" First of all, please remember the numbers you are going to see next, if you forget, there is no hope at all to get through. ”

The puppet used chalk to write a few words in the palm of his hand, and then spread out his hand and showed it in front of Lu Yu's eyes, holding the action for thirty seconds before moving away. There were eight letters in total, and Lu Yu easily memorized it in his mind.

Billy then erases the numbers, rewrites the password, and does the same thing to Nao and Seth again.

"Okay, now everyone has their own passcode." Billy wiped the numbers from his hand one last time and said with a smile, "I can tell you that two of the three of you have the same passcode, but unfortunately, this duplicate password is fake. Only the password held by the last person is the real pass. The content of the quiz is very simple, just like the previous question, you only need to think about what you think is the correct passcode in your head, and then think hard about 'OK', and I can receive your answer to 'submit'. ”

It raised a finger: "In order to cherish the memory of Zhu Xiaowen, who bravely sacrificed himself in the first question, I will reduce the difficulty." Originally, this question was like the previous one, and it required all three people to give the correct answer to pass, but now the rules have been slightly modified, and you can pass the test as long as the password in your head is correct. ”

Billy the puppet's rule is ostensibly less difficult. For individuals, in this situation where you can't communicate with other people at all, as long as you choose your own answer, you still have a one-in-three chance of surviving. But in fact, there is a 'yin' poisonous psychological hint hidden behind it, that is, you can't communicate with others, you can only choose your own password.

Is this the case?

There's a guy here who's desperately trying to communicate with others.

Nao took a few deep breaths and forcibly suppressed her boiling mood. Now is not the time to be angry, and you should try your best to survive. And as soon as she regained her ability to think, she immediately noticed something suspicious.

Ever since Billy finished announcing the rules just now, Lu Yu had been winking at the two of them. This way of blinking is still very strange, not the kind of code-type blinking a few times, but there are long and short, sometimes long and sometimes short, it doesn't look like a code, but like some way of sending a message......

(Morse Code!) )

Nao suddenly realized. Letters are no better than numbers and cannot be directly represented by the number of blinks. Even if it is possible to replace the number of letters with the number of times, it is easy to get tired due to continuous blinking, and it is easy to make mistakes for the letters that are lower in the ranking. And here, there is no room for a little such a mistake. Billy the puppet deliberately chose some letters that were close to each other and generally lower in rank as passwords, apparently prepared for this.

But the Morse code is different, each letter can be represented by no more than four long and short blinks, which is basically not error-prone and extremely efficient. The point is that Nao likes to watch some foreign detectives since she was a child, and she happens to recognize this kind of password.

Lu Yu used an extra-long closed eye to indicate the starting point, and then translated the eight letters into the Morse code, which was expressed in long and short blinks in order, and the interval was indicated by a head-turning action in the middle. After he repeated this three times, Nao had already understood the code he had to play.

Nao also learned the method of landing feather, and passed on her own password using Morse code. This is only to realize that the seemingly simple action is actually very difficult, not only do you have to convert the letters into a password and then into a blink method in your mind, but the continuous blinking is also very tiring to the eyelids, and you have to ensure that there are no mistakes. Fortunately, there were only eight letters, and Nao finally finished the action after a few failures.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. The passwords are not the same for both parties. It seems that the passcode that determines the 'sex' depends on Seth. They looked at Seth at the same time, only to see Seth staring at him in amazement.

He looked at Lu Yu and the others, and probably guessed what they were doing. He had heard of the Morse code and understood the principle, but the problem was that ordinary people simply did not remember what letters corresponded to what passwords.

In this case, although Lu Yu and Nao can both teach him, there is no way to teach him, let alone a kind person who suddenly passes by and provides him with a password sheet.

(If the Morse code doesn't work...... Then try the most traditional number of blinks! )

One of Seth's strengths was his ability to act, and when he decided that the Morse Code was not feasible, he immediately changed his mind and switched to the most traditional method of replacing letters with the number of blinks.

This is the most pragmatic approach at the moment.

"It's useless, it's just a waste of time." Fengxian said.

At this point, she and Osman poked their heads out of the shelf, watching Seth's blink, witnessing him fail again and again. This may seem like an easy job, but it's actually very difficult to do. Billy the puppet deliberately chooses a few letters after the order number to use as his password, causing him to blink many times when expressing each password. Blinking is a very small action, and everyone can see it clearly by relying on the bonus of 'sex' in the game after upgrading, but it is difficult to distinguish some specious blinking movements. The more times you add it, the greater the probability of errors, and the result is that Seth has successfully passed out several passwords so far, but none of them are exactly the same.

It had taken a lot of time for Lu Yu and Nao to 'exchange' passwords, and Seth's repeated failures made time pass even faster. Because of the high tension, Seth didn't even notice that the countdown had quietly come to fifteen minutes.

"If you don't make a decision, it's too late." Fengxian shook her head.

Osman asked, "Who are you referring to?" Lu Yu? Or Seth? ”

"You've seen it."

"He's completely different from the other three, so I can't see it." Osman glanced at her, "Speaking of which, the last time you said you were found by one of the players, you were referring to him." ”

The phoenix stuck out her tongue.

"Let's get back to the puzzle." She said, "Seth had just noticed the time, and he was visibly 'showing' with a wavering expression. In fact, he already had an idea in his heart, but the price was too great, so big that a tough guy like him would inevitably back down. ”

Osman followed her gaze, only to see that Seth was visibly stunned after his gaze accidentally swept over the countdown, and then he 'revealed' a painful expression, as if he was engaged in some kind of tragic ideological struggle.

"What Seth was thinking is not hard for me to deduce. He himself understood that the other two people except him already knew each other's passwords, and now they were waiting for his password to determine which one was correct. Since the blink of an eye didn't work, the only way to do that was the one he had thought of a long time ago but tried so hard to avoid it. ”

"At this point in the game, all the branches and leaves have been cut off, and only one theme remains, which is 'sacrifice'." Feng Xian smiled bitterly and came to a conclusion.

And on the battlefield beneath their feet, Seth made up his mind and shouted out the eight-digit password that belonged to him.

"Great people die, but small and selfish people live." Osman nodded.
