Chapter 18: Gossip in the Car

The car went into the mountains.

The road is a potholed dirt road, circling through the mountains and forests.

"I don't know if the other two groups started to play." On the road, Shi Lianshan, who was driving, suddenly muttered.

Qin Manjiang seemed a little interested and asked, "Is there any difference between the challenge mode and the exploration mode?" ”

He Jian said while sorting out the tools he brought, "You ask that?" In fact, it's not complicated, the so-called challenge mode refers to the place where you have been assigned to play a strange game in the past, but the whole army has been wiped out. The weird tale where no one survives is considered extremely challenging, but again, the rewards are even more generous when you complete the challenge mode. ”

"Reward?" Qin Manjiang heard an unfamiliar word.

"Since it's a game, of course there will be rewards!" This time, several people looked at him, "Didn't you get a reward for your beginner level?" ”

"It's an icon of the pupil, it's called the spirit pupil, it appears in the personal interface of the mobile phone, every time you play the game, as long as you can come out alive, you can get more or less some spirit pupil rewards, and the ten seats are also ranked according to the number of spirit pupils."

Facing the strange gazes of several people, Qin Manjiang thought about it carefully, the pupil-shaped icon?

Spiritual pupils?

He was pretty sure he had never seen anything like that.

"I've never seen it, and I don't have a beginner level."

"No, is it a game bug?" Shi Lianshan is quite fashionable, and he even knows this statement.

"I ...... Know a possibility. Liu Jingqing suddenly whispered.

After seeing the shallow puzzled look on Qin Manjiang's face, the female writer said: "There have been cases of this before, but ...... It didn't happen in a personal novice level.,It's a multiplayer mode weird talk.,That time,Everyone relied on one person to escape.,Achieved a full escape.,After leaving the weird talk area.,That person got all the spirit pupils.,The others don't have any.。 ”

"Huh? And this kind of thing? Who is it? ”

Liu Jingqing's face changed slightly, she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "That person is ...... Yang. ”

Yang!

The leader of the leaderboard, deservedly the first person.

"Yes...... It's him," Shi Lianshan also nodded subconsciously, "That's no wonder, but Xiao Qin's novice level won't involve anyone else, how can someone take away the spirit pupil ......?"

However, when Shi Lianshan said this, Qin Manjiang was slightly stunned, and he didn't ...... His novice level has other people involved.

Not only that, but that person also made a huge contribution, not only on many occasions to get him out of danger at the last moment, but also to guide a large number of clues, and even finally ...... It was the same man who threw him out of the fireβ€”

Li Xi.

If Li Xi is still a player and is still alive, then it makes sense that he didn't get any Spirit Pupil rewards at the novice level......

However, he obviously turned into a ghost and completely disappeared from the real world.

What the hell is going on......

Qin Manjiang frowned slightly, but he didn't seem to notice that there was someone behind him who was secretly paying attention to him.

"Those spirit pupils, do they have any effect?" Qin Manjiang asked.

"Absolutely!" When Shi Lianshan heard this question, he immediately became interested, "The spirit pupil can be exchanged for some extremely weird, but easy-to-use one-time props, although those props still can't allow us to confront the ghosts head-on, but they can greatly improve the survival rate, but it's a pity...... A player is permanently limited to three purchases. ”

"What's the pity?" He Jian interrupted Shi Lianshan's words, "Xiao Qin, don't listen to him blow it for the time being, even if it's a one-time prop, it's not something we can exchange in a short time." ”

Shi Lianshan said bitterly: "Also, like me and Mr. He, counting players who have gone through the strange talk game three times in the novice level, they have only saved about five spirit pupils until now, but a one-time prop, the minimum is ten spirit pupils!" ”

"If you want me to say, our greatest hope this time is still in the tenth seat, and he is in the top ten! Maybe there's even a permanent item ......"

"Permanent items?" Qin Manjiang was even more surprised, in addition to one-time props, there are also permanent props?

"Well, like a one-time item, it can't go head-to-head with a ghost, and it can only be used once in a game, but it can play a very special role in a weird game! Like what...... Legend has it that in the top 10 seats, the player named Medic has a permanent item that is a cursed scalpel, which has only one effect, and after stabbing it into the heart, the stabbed person will not die within half an hour. But after half an hour, if there is no way to break away from the strange story, the stabbed person will immediately be swallowed by the curse of the scalpel, and there will be no place to bury. ”

When Shi Lianshan talked about the doctor's permanent props, he couldn't stop envy in his tone.

"If you don't die in half an hour, you won't die even if you are chopped into meat sauce...... That kind of thing, it's scary and fascinating......"

Speaking of this, everyone was silent for a moment.

"Forget it, don't think about that, it's the only item that can only be purchased with a full hundred spirit pupils, and it's generated according to the player's own characteristics, it won't be repeated, and only those who are outstanding in the top ten seats may have it......"

"By the way, I haven't told you about the exploration mode yet," He Jian is worthy of being a teacher, and he is very organized when he talks about business, and he won't miss anything, "This kind of multiplayer mode like ours can be understood as a strange talk that has been explored by the game." For example, isn't there an opening speech for the sick sheep this time? This shows that the game already has an idea of what this weird story is about, and it's like this, which is the game we need to play in the vast majority of cases. ”

"But the exploration mode ...... In short, it's weird talk and curses that even the game can't detect, and if it had an opening statement, I'm sure it would be all crimson question marks, and the horror of that mode is far beyond our comprehension. I guess that's why the lead player was chosen. ”

Qin Manjiang finally understood the difference, but this aroused his curiosity even more, this pattern ...... It really looks like someone is in control in the background.

Suddenly, Qin Manjiang looked in the rearview mirror, stared at Chen Ping, and asked, "Excuse me, you have been secretly watching me since just now, is there something wrong?" ”

Chen Ping seemed to be taken aback, he waved his hand again and again, and explained: "No...... No, I just think you're a little familiar. ”

"Really?" Qin Manjiang smiled and seemed to agree with this statement, "We may have met somewhere, can you remember?" ”

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "No...... Not in Fucheng. ”

Qin Manjiang became interested: "However, I have never left Fucheng. ”

Chen Ping shook his head again: "I...... I just think you're a lot like him, and I don't think you're him. ”

"Can you be so sure before you make sure I've been in Fucheng?" Qin Manjiang felt more and more that this Chen Ping had something to hide from him.

But seeing that Chen Ping wanted to speak and stopped, Shi Lianshan couldn't help but urge: "Just say it, no one will eat you." ”

When Chen Ping heard this, he quietly glanced up at Qin Manjiang again, and said, "I...... I went to college in another city, and in one of the classrooms of our university, there was a picture of a young professor who really looked like you! It's ...... Same. ”

"But he's been dead for twenty years."

After Chen Ping opened his words, he was also a lot more relaxed: "So, I just felt very surprised that there were two completely unrelated people in the world, but they looked so similar, so I couldn't help but look at them twice." ”

Qin Manjiang seemed to be stunned after hearing Chen Ping's words.

His waist straightened, his mouth closed immediately, his eyelids drooped, and then opened again.

Then, he slowly raised his hand to reach for the iced coffee placed in front of him.

The twisting of his neck was extremely unnatural, and the frequency of his eyelids blinking became much faster at this moment.

"Whew-"

He pulled the tab that filled the coffee, mechanically raised his hand, and put the coffee into his mouth.

"Goo-dong-goo-"

A constant swallowing frequency, as precise as it was set.

This strange gesture scared everyone!

Everyone who was on the way to the strange village thought that Qin Manjiang was possessed by a ghost, and Shi Lianshan even stepped on the brakes!

"Hey! Something is wrong with him! ”

Shi Lianshan was just about to open the car door and run outside.

At this time, Qin Manjiang put down the coffee, his expression and movements, everything returned to the original state.

Even with some doubts in his expression, he turned his head to look at everyone and asked:

"What's wrong?"
