Option 2 4.8 per cent, option 3 76.2 per cent and option 4 19.0 per cent.

……

[Option 3]

[Extinguish the thief's fire and plunge the surroundings into darkness.] 】

……

Zheng Zhuo lunged forward.

The thief didn't expect Zheng Zhuo to regain consciousness! He was completely defenseless, and the two of them fell to the ground.

The fire fold "Rata la, Rata La" bounced twice on the ground, fell into the water, and went out.

The surroundings were plunged into endless darkness.

"Y-you-you're awake!"

The thief was alarmed. He scrambled backwards. At the same time, Zheng Zhuo could feel him reach for a hand in his arms, trying to pull something out.

What is he going to do!?

Zheng Zhuo's mind flashed the explorer man's knife that could attack. He didn't dare to think about it, so he jumped forward and hugged the thief man's leg.

"Yikes! Loosen – let go of me! ”

The thief's voice shook and he screamed, but as soon as the first syllable popped out, the volume was lowered. He kicked Zheng Zhuo hard, trying to get him to let go.

However, how could Zheng Zhuo let go!

No matter how the thief kicked him, he held on to the other party's leg and just didn't let go.

Bang, bang.

Gunshots rang out.

There were bullets that flew into the darkness behind and bounced several more times indoors.

"Let go of me! I'm going to die—we're all going to die! Idiot!! ”

Zheng Zhuocai didn't let go. He knew very well that he had reached his limit. Whether he was left here or shot by an unknown visitor, he had no choice but to die.

Boom.

Next shot.

The bullet grazed Zheng Zhuo's head.

The accuracy of the other party is getting better and better.

"Bastard,,! Damn, damn it—it's only now—it's too much to lose!! ”

The thief man exerted one last effort and pulled something out of his arms.

And then.

Before the next bullet flew, a golden light flashed in front of Zheng Zhuo's eyes.

……

…………

………………

The world is spinning.

Zheng Zhuo only felt as if he had been stuffed into a washing machine.

Heaven and earth are reversed and restored, and many meaningless color blocks fly and gather in front of your eyes.

Slowly.

The scene before me regathered and stabilized.

My ears can hear it. The nose smelled the old wooden beams of the old house.

Zheng Zhuo slowly, slowly propped himself up from the wooden floor.

Moonlight shines through the window and into the room.

He saw himself in a vacant house. The house is an old wooden structure with an area of about fifty square meters. The house seems to be halfway built, and it has not been built, and the division of the rooms has not been carried out, and there is only a whole transparent space on the first floor. Except for the wooden floor beneath his feet, he could only see the stairs in the distance.

There are both ascending stairs and descending stairs. Didn't see the door.

It's at least the second floor.

In a corner not far away, pots, bedding, dry food, and water were piled up in a mess.

Next to what......

…… The thief, who was constantly panting, had just propped himself up and was panting for breath like him.

"Ha, ha, ha."

The thief's face turned pale, and he stretched out his palm.

In his hand was a palm-sized token. With the help of the moonlight, Zheng Zhuo saw that the token was covered with cracks.

The next second, the wind blew into the room. The token was swept up by the wind, and it fell like sand, turning pieces into ashes.

"Ah...... Ah......h

The thief man's hands clenched in vain in the air, but he couldn't stop it, and could only watch as the token disappeared in front of him.

"Number of times...... Ran out...... Just because...... Brought an extra person......"

The thief stood there dumbfounded. After a moment, he turned to Zheng Zhuo.

Worst.

Zheng Zhuo knew something was wrong. He wanted to stand up, but he was too weak to move.

The next second.

Fists and feet beckoned to him.

"It's all three times! Nothing was caught - all because of you! Because you-"

Zheng Zhuo, who had lost too much blood, was completely powerless to resist, so he could only hold his head up and bear the attack. For a moment, he thought he was going to be beaten to death—

But at this moment.

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound of the bell tower rang.

12 down.

The thief stopped and looked at the empty place on the left.

And Zheng Zhuo's left side also lit up the panel.

He was surprised to find that his progress bar had risen a long way and was now 31.2%.

He was not happy. Because of the words that appeared below, he felt uneasy.

……

【Winner of the Night】

【Wise Man】

……

【Those who are out today】

【Love】【Caregiver】【Creator】

……

"Out? ...... the next day It's out...... Three? ”

Zheng Zhuo heard the thief riding on him muttering.

"Really...... Hey, hey, hey, I only had one out of the game last time? …… No, no, no, compared to that, the number of people has been reduced too quickly, right? Reducing ...... again Isn't it...... Isn't it good? ”

“…… But...... He already knows me......"

“…… All right. ”

I don't know what the thief came up with. His eyes no longer hesitated.

The next second.

He slammed it hard, hard at Zheng Zhuo's temple.

Zheng Zhuo fainted again.

……

…………

………………

There was a sharp pain in the head.

The continuous and uninterrupted coma made Zheng Zhuo feel like a soldering iron was stuffed in his head.

"Uh...... Ah......h

But he knew that being unconscious was not a good thing.

He struggled, opening his eyes again.

The eyes focus very slowly. He moved, realizing that his hands and feet were tied—it should be hemp rope.

But the twine was not tied, and the knotted part was loosely opened. Zheng Zhuo struggled slightly, and the hemp rope slid off his wrist.

Zheng Zhuo struggled to raise his head from the cold floor.

Through the window, you can see the moon. The orientation was similar to before, and he felt that he hadn't been unconscious for too long.

But the thief is gone.

He looked into the corner. Food and water are still there.

The wound on the right shoulder finally stopped bleeding. Zheng Zhuo struggled to move himself and crawled to the corner.

He tore the food indiscriminately, ate a little bread and a plate of compressed grain, and drank a lot of water.

Just a few minutes of rest is also helpful enough. He finally recovered a little and stood up with trembling legs.

What the hell am I getting involved in......

Why does everyone want to attack me? I don't understand anything - something must be wrong!

Zheng Zhuo shouted in his heart.

Just then, he heard a stray stream of footsteps overhead. At the same time, there is also the sound of something falling "rattle".

“……”

After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Zhuo approached the stairs lightly.

He saw a narrow attic above. The door to the attic is open, and there appears to be a roof outside.

And the sound of footsteps came from the rooftop.

As I got closer, my voice became clearer.

Listen to the sound, there are at least two people on the roof. And it seems to be a confrontation.

Zheng Zhuo climbed a few steps slightly.

He saw a few saw blades in the attic. And on the roof outside the attic, near the door, something was glittering.

“……”

What to do?

Zheng Zhuo only thought for a few seconds, and the software popped up.

It always pops up at the right moment, which scares him a little.
