Chapter 15: Will there really be a second chance to appear?
The teacher hadn't arrived yet, and Jiang Bei pushed open the door of the recording room and came out into the hallway.
There were no lights in the hallway, only dim moonlight on the floor, and two rows of iron benches lined the walls. The two rescue team members had already come out, and they did not sit in their chairs, but only smoked silently against the window.
The two are a man and a woman, the woman has long hair, wavy hair, and slightly dark skin, like a Persian cat in the night.
The man's inch head has a scarred face.
"When I was in school, I did obstacle training, and I accidentally paddled it." Seeing Jiang Bei staring at his face, the man waved the cigarette in his hand and explained.
They smoked low-quality cigarettes, ten dollars a cigarette, which tasted like lit stacks of wood, choking.
Ebetsu also walked up to them and looked at the moon outside the window with them.
"How did you survive those nine hours?" He was a little curious about this. I was able to balance the ghosts, and it took some force to bring Chen Ersan out safely from the copy full of ghosts.
But these two people have no force to use, and they can survive in the dungeon for nine hours, I don't know how they did it.
The man suddenly laughed, and instead of answering, he asked, "Do you know how many people there were when our rescue team entered the dungeon?" ”
Jiang Bei shook his head. Although the number of people in their hide-and-seek game is seven, most of the dungeons do not have a precise limit on the number of people per game, and basically give a range, usually five to ten players.
"Nine," the man took another deep puff of his cigarette, which made the cigarette roll a long time shorter, "and when we saved people, there were nine in total." ”
Now that only two people came out alive, Jiang Bei didn't speak, just waited quietly for the following.
"As soon as we entered the dungeon and saw the rules, we knew it was bad, that we couldn't get it done before the students. Seeing that there is no way to save people, we can only try to survive, thinking that if the people in front of you die, we can also complete the task later, so as not to let this copy continue to expand. ”
"After looking at the mission, we immediately came up with a solution, which was to hide everyone together."
All hiding together? This is the most taboo thing to do in play hide and seek, and to find one is to find a string.
"Of course it wasn't luck, all of us went into one of the haunted houses, and the others found a place to hide and the rest stood in the doorway. If the ghost is close to the house, the person rushes out to attract the ghost away, and of course the ghost does not think that there is everyone hidden in the house, and will only care about the one who rushes out. And this ghost won't come back for a check-in anytime soon. ”
When I heard this, I understood. This is a suicidal death protection tactic, where sacrifice is not concerned in the first place, and the death of others is sacrificed. Perhaps when the rescue team entered the dungeon, they thought that if they survived, one person would be victorious, because as long as one of them survived to the end, this terrifying dungeon would disappear and would not continue to spread and pose a greater threat.
They enter the quest not with "I'm going to survive" but with "we're going to defeat the quest"
"The captain came up with the idea, so she took the initiative to be the first person." At this, the man paused for a moment before moving on.
"After the captain leads the ghost away, we immediately make up a second person at the door, and if the ghost comes back, this second person will rush out again to lure the ghost away."
"After two times, it dragged on for five hours, and after the second man led the ghost away, we changed places and continued to hide together, and if it went well, at least half of us would have left alive at the end of the ten hours. But I didn't expect it......" The man shook his head, "I didn't expect that the people who were killed would also become ghosts, and the more people died, the more ghosts there were." ”
"The third man was killed by the captain and turned into a ghost not far from where we were hiding, and then the fourth man rushed out to lure it away. There are more and more ghosts, and this method is consumed too quickly to be used, so we scattered around to hide XZ. ”
"You see, we stayed up for nine hours, but the first five hours were safe, and only the last four hours were hiding from ghosts. You know, I was almost caught by the ghost in the ninth hour, when I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect the copy to disappear in a pinch. At that time, I knew that I must have lived ten hours in front of me. ”
"Thank you." The man took another puff on his cigarette, "If it weren't for you, I guess I would have been gone, but I didn't expect that I had been in the rescue team for so many years, and in the end, I was saved by someone else when I entered the dungeon to save people." ”
Jiang Bei didn't know what to say, if someone suggested death protection tactics to him, he would definitely scold and leave. Jiang Bei likes money the most, and his second favorite is life, he won't trade his life for others to survive.
But in front of such a group of people who calmly went to death, he couldn't say anything.
"It's okay," the man patted Jiang Bei on the shoulder, "No one in our rescue team thought that they would survive when they entered the dungeon, and the purpose of the rescue team was to clear the dungeon at the greatest cost and speed, after all, more people would die a second late." ”
"I see that you have good talent, do you want to come to our rescue team?"
Hearing this, Jiang Bei began to retreat silently.
"Haha, just kidding, your teacher seems to be here." The man pointed downstairs.
I saw a man with high and low shoulders coming from below, looking around.
"Then I'll go first." Jiang Bei said goodbye to them, turned his head and walked towards the stairs, walked a few steps and turned back, "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet." ”
The man waved his hand: "Next time, if we can still meet alive next time, we will tell you our names." ”
Generally speaking, people who say such things will not live to meet for the second time.
Jiang Bei glanced at them, turned around and walked downstairs.
His teacher's name was Lao Jiao, who was a cripple and in his forties. Not many people in the base live to this age, and most of them die in the dungeon before the age of thirty.
Lao Jiao's leg turned out to be not lame, it was a student who climbed into a tree and fell down when he was a child, and he hurriedly picked it up. The child who fell was fine, his leg was smashed and broken, and he didn't pick it up well when he went to the hospital, and he has been lame ever since.
He was standing in the cold wind with red eyes, wearing a patched cotton coat. Behind him was an old-fashioned bicycle with a thick coat neatly folded in the basket.
Seeing Jiang Bei coming down, the teacher immediately limped up to meet him, first looked Jiang Bei up and down, and then patted him on the back: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
Their group of orphans have been raised in school since they were children, and they have grown up under the watchful eyes of teachers, even if they have raised a group of dogs for so many years, they will have feelings, not to mention a group of fresh and cute children. Sometimes he is more like a father to his students, worrying about their future.
Now only two of the students have died. The teacher must have known, looking at his red eyes, he must have cried not long ago.
But he didn't say anything, just took out the coat in the basket and draped it on Jiang Bei: "It's cold at night, come and put on your clothes, get in the car and I'll take you back." ”
Even if Jiang Bei crossed over halfway, he also felt the warmth from the person in front of him.
He obediently sat in the back seat of the car, and the teacher got into the car and pedaled with a lame leg, driving him away slowly.
Jiang Bei looked back for the last time, and the two figures by the upstairs window had dimmed in the darkness, and he could only see the flames from the two cigarettes gradually extinguishing in the night.
