Happy times are always short-lived, and as soon as the three of them returned to the convenience store after parting ways with Chef Su, they heard the annoying radio ring again.

"The first phase of the task is completed, the foothold is unsealed, the mall is unsealed, you can explore freely, and you can also enter other footholds to obtain supplies."

This time, the voice was no longer the greasy baritone of the mall owner, but a cold female voice without temperature, as if it were extremely so.

"Look at you, look at you! The small print on the back of the board has changed! ”

After Fang Hanyang explained the rules of the "Ask the Ghost for Directions" task to Lu Hao, he kept playing with the chessboard, and he didn't really see some fame.

"After completing the current mission, the board will be flipped and the victory condition will be changed to -----------------"

The words that follow are not shown, so I don't want them to know now.

"Hanyang, where's the candle?"

Han Yang took out two candles from his clothes pocket and a lighter, Xie Changming took it and lit it, and said:

"Let's do it now, do you have any questions?"

"Isn't it some physical work, Xiao Lu, can you do it?" Hanyang cared, and then walked out the door to close the elevator switch.

"It's okay, by the way, Brother Hanyang, is your real name Hanyang?"

"My name is Wu ....." Han Yang swallowed half of what he had just said, and changed his words: "My name is Xiao Xuan." ”

"Uh-oh." Lu Hao replied twice, and then asked, "You won't lie to me like Brother Lu, right?" ”

"No, it won't."

Lu You, who was playing on the computer on the side, sneezed, and he shouldn't have heard Lu Hao's words just now.

On Lu You's computer screen was a notepad, and he was typing the code word.

The contents of the notepad are some of his reasoning about the mall.

There are some kind of rules and supporting monitoring system in the mall, and under normal circumstances, you will not die if you do not exceed the rules.

Most of the goblins in the mall have entities, they are irregularly infested, and some even appear as NPCs.

Trauma caused by ghosts will poison the corpse, so try not to get hurt.

On the way back, Lu Hao told the details of the mission in detail, which contained a lot of information.

It is not difficult to guess from the process that the owner of the car wash belongs to some kind of strange existence, which is different from the basilisk and ghoul he encountered before.

During the mission, the boss set the rules for Lu Hao, but he also induced Lu Hao to violate the rules in many ways.

From this, it can be inferred that strange beings cannot kill people as simply and rudely as monsters, and they are limited to certain rules.

When escaping, the boss hammered the ground, but it didn't make a sound, but the kitchen knife in his hand really hurt Lu Hao.

This may prove that they can briefly influence the real world with the help of an object, but more often than not, they exist in a virtual form.

After coding the last word, Lu You closed the notebook, walked to the fresh-keeping cabinet and took a bottle of chocolate milk of a certain Fu brand, tasted it, and burped contentedly.

"It's turned off, and I smashed the emergency light in the back fire escape, so I can start."

Xie Changming extinguished his cigarette butt, and after Xiao Xuan came in, he closed the front door of the convenience store and motioned for everyone to follow him.

"I'll stand first, Xiao Xuan, you stand second, and you'll be left to your own row."

"I'm blind, I'm the last."

Li Yixin quickly shrank to the back of the line.

Lu Hao stood in third place, with Lu You behind him, Lu You was touching his chin, and seemed to be in a state of contemplation.

In other words, what is this task mechanism, there is not even a reward and punishment system, how to complete it and how not to complete it, it is really confusing.

"Are you ready? Then I'm out of the house. ”

"By the way, remember your rank, this is your serial number, since this is mentioned in the rules, it is estimated that you will use it later."

Xie Changming bore the brunt of the attack and went out with a candle, only a dozen seconds, three knocks sounded, and Xiao Xuan, who was located at No. 2, opened the door for him.

Xie Changming returned to the end of the team, Xiao Xuan went out, and his speed was also very fast.

It was a little slower to get to Lu Hao, and it took more than a minute to knock on the door and come back.

It was Lu You's turn to go out, and it was pitch black outside, only two candles were burning faintly not far away, emitting a faint light.

Lu You walked quickly, bent down to pick up the one that was close to him, placed a grid far away, and then immediately turned back.

He came back and knocked at the door, and the blind man opened the door and let him in.

The next steps are tedious, nothing more than picking up the previous candle and stepping over the next candle to swing forward.

After swinging around the corner of the corridor, I don't know how many reincarnations it is, Lu You picked up the candle and looked for the candlestick.

The candlesticks were exhausted, and what caught his eye was the City God Temple he had seen before.

Lu You stretched out his hand to shine a light, and there were indeed two candlesticks on the shrine, he put the candles on the table, and then returned.

Li Yixi can return within the normal time every time he goes out, and after so many times of going out, the order of the candles is not out of order, which can't help but make people doubt the authenticity of his blindness.

This time, he came back in three minutes, and for such a long journey, Lu You had to grope for about four minutes, and no one knew why a blind man walked so fast.

He carried four wooden tablets and a note in his arms, and the lights in the convenience store were not forced to turn off by the rules, and everyone read them.

The note reads: Please go out now in the order of 12 34 51 24, one person is responsible for inserting the wooden tablet in the shrine, and the other is responsible for whispering, "Chenghuang Chenghuang, please show me the way forward." ”

The inscriptions on the wooden tablet are blurred, but it can be vaguely seen that these four pieces are written "yin", "yang", "intersection" and "combination".

The serial number finally came in handy, according to the order on the note, the order of going out was: Xie Changming Xiao Xuan, Lu Hao Lu You, Li Yi Xie Changming, Xiao Xuan Lu You.

It didn't take long for Xie Changming and Xiao Xuan to run back, and immediately rushed in after knocking on the door three times.

The two were out of breath, as if they were being chased by something.

"Damn, there's a female ghost sitting next to that shrine, and she gets up to chase you after you ask for directions, and she screams, it's scary."

Lu You recalled that when he used to play escape rooms, the NPCs in it seemed to be so scary - when you finished the mission, they would jump out of any corner to drive you back.

With a smile, it was his turn to go out with Lu Hao.

It was still pitch black outside the door, and when I walked around the corner, I found that there seemed to be a light inside the base of the shrine, and there was a strong light emitting from it.

"Hmm..."

Lu Hao was so frightened that he took a step back, and Lu You hurriedly signaled him to keep quiet.

I saw that in the bright light, a woman with a cloak and iron skin was thinking about it.

She banged her head against the wall one after another, but she didn't make any sound.

"It's a ghost."

Lu You whispered to Lu Hao, and then used gestures to tell Lu Hao to make a quick decision.

Lu Hao put down the wooden tablet, tacitly took a few steps back, Lu You folded his hands, and read in his mouth:

"Chenghuang Chenghuang, please show me the way forward."

As soon as the word "road" fell, the woman turned her head sharply, and a tiger jumped towards Lu You.

Lu You had already expected it, dodged away, pulled Lu Hao up and ran towards the convenience store.

The female ghost roared and chased after her, and the two of them ran in front of them scolding.

"Brother Lu, Niu Break."

Lu Hao gave Lu You a thumbs up.

"Pinch the numbness, this is called the top prediction!"
