Chapter 40: A Glorious Future
Jiang Bei listened carefully, it was true.
The dull sound of footsteps was indeed coming from downstairs, and it seemed to be constantly moving.
Could it be true that as Zhao Ziyang said, the Virgin on the first floor ran out for a walk like a sperm?
The next door apparently heard the commotion as well, and the rummaging stopped.
The footsteps below didn't stop, but fortunately, the sound kept circling around the first floor, and it didn't sound like it meant to come up.
But there's no guarantee that people will stay on the first floor all the time, and if they get tired of it down there and suddenly want to come up and take a look.
Now I can only try not to make a sound, so as not to attract the attention of what is below.
The few people did not speak again, only listened carefully to the movement below.
After a while, Jiang Bei heard the sound of the door of the next room opening, and looked out through the crack in the open door to see that it was Xin Yi and the four of them who had quietly come from the next room.
Zhao Ziyang hurriedly opened the door and let them in.
Jiang Bei saw that the leader Xin Yi was holding something in his hand.
"This is ......," Wang Sixteen said softly, looking at the thing in her hand.
Xin Yi spread his hand: "The next room is also a bedroom, I found this on the bed." ”
It's a cigarette case.
This cigarette box Jiang Bei has also seen, and it is the packaging of inferior cigarette rolls produced in the base. Many people in the military region smoke this kind of cigarette, and cigarette boxes can naturally be found everywhere.
I didn't expect this base specialty cigarette box to appear in the dungeon.
Jiang Bei felt that there were too many remnants of the real world in this copy, and it was so weird that it made people feel weird.
"Do you know what's going on with the footsteps down there?" Summer listened to the movement downstairs, "We were checking the floor in the next room just now, and we suddenly heard this voice. ”
"We don't know," Zhao Ziyang shook his head, "Just now Jiang Bei was checking the house, I made a joke with them that the statue of the Virgin Mary downstairs was afraid that it would walk around while we were sleeping, but I didn't expect to hear this voice from the first floor in the next second." ”
Zhao Ziyang also felt strange: "Don't be a crow's mouth, say anything." ”
"Have you noticed a pattern," Xin Yi said suddenly, "I don't remember the first time I saw the ghost next to the statue of Our Lady?" ”
Everyone remembers this.
Zhao Tianran nodded: "At that time, the head of the statue of the Virgin suddenly fell off and almost hit Jiangbei, and then we found that the fracture of the statue's head was very smooth, as if it was caused by man, and Li Youcai also said at that time......"
At this she stopped abruptly, her eyes widened slightly, as if she realized something, and did not continue.
Zhao Tianran didn't continue, but Jiang Bei remembered Li Youcai's words at that time-
"There are just a few of us here, since we didn't cut it, it must be a ghost."
Then they noticed a ghost next to the statue of the Virgin.
"That's right," Xin Yi said in a deep voice, "and then the second time I saw the ghost, the time Xiang Beifang was killed. ”
Jiang Bei remembered that before Xiang Beifang died, Li Youcai also said a word.
He said that the sudden fall of the head of the statue of the Virgin might be a reminder of something, and he wanted to say that it might be a sign of their death, but before he could finish speaking, Xiang Beibei's head suddenly fell, and then a ghost flashed outside the door.
And this time it was Zhao Ziyang who joked that the statue of the Virgin might move on its own, and then there was a sound of footsteps downstairs.
It's a bit of a coincidence, three times in a row, it's just what to say.
Jiang Bei thought to himself, if this is a sentence of a hundred ghosts walking at night, will the church be flooded by ghosts?
Li Youcai's face was very ugly: "You mean that the ghost appeared because of our words?" ”
If this is the case, a large part of the responsibility for Xiang Beibei's death lies with him.
Xin Yi nodded: "At present, this is very likely. ”
Hearing this, Li Youcai shook his body, and his expression looked very self-reproachful. He and Xiang Beifang are teammates on the same team, and they don't know how many copies of death they have experienced together before, but now Xiang Beifang died because of his words, and he blames himself for it.
"If that's the case, then we won't be in danger as long as we don't mention ghosts," Wang Sixteen helped Li Youcai, who was shaking, to make him sit on the bed, "In this way, it can explain why the last batch of people lived for two years, and they must have discovered this law and lived safely for two years." ”
Summer thought about the exit: "But after two years of searching without danger, I didn't find the exit, which is really outrageous. ”
What kind of hidden exit can people look for two years and not find it?
"I have an idea," Jiang Bei began, "If the law of this copy is really what it is, then can we make an exit with words?" ”
So saying, he walked to the side of the wall and said to the wall: "Open the door with sesame." ”
After chanting the incantation, he waited earnestly for half a minute, and did not see anything from the wall in front of him.
Jiang Bei didn't give up and began to mumble something "the exit is revealed" and "the secret passage is revealed", but it has no effect.
He beckoned Zhao Tianran over again and repeated the same words, but it was useless.
"Rest first," Xin Yi pinched his forehead, "You may have to be prepared to stay in this copy for a long time, and you must ensure that you have enough rest to have the energy to look for clues." ”
Truly.
It was dusk outside when they entered the dungeon, and about ten hours had passed since they entered the dungeon, and now everyone had not rested for more than twenty hours.
Rest could not all be slept dead and no one was watching, so they assigned a little and decided to take turns keeping vigil.
Jiang Bei, Wang Sixteen and Li Youcai guarded for three hours first, then Xin Yi and Zhao Tianran stood up in the middle, and the last three hours were guarded by Ah Dog and Zhao Ziyang in the summer.
There are two or more people in each group, and if one of them is suddenly killed by a ghost, the other person can also be notified immediately if the person is asleep.
In fact, this is not a vigil, and Jiang Bei doesn't even know if it's night.
There is no day or night in this copy, and the window is always the same dazzling white light, illuminating the room very brightly.
There was an alarm clock on the table, and it didn't stop. The time shown above is 3:35, and it is not known if it is 3:35 p.m. or 3:35 a.m.
The people who didn't keep vigil were putting themselves to sleep as soon as possible, Jiang Bei and Wang Sixteen were guarding the door and listening to the movement outside, while Li Youcai was squatting on the side with his head down, and it seemed that he had not yet come out of the mood of self-blame.
Wang Sixteen looked at Li Youcai, who was squatting aside, sighed softly and said to Jiang Bei: "Alas, I can understand him, I also made mistakes in the copy before and accidentally killed my girlfriend." ”
As he said this, he kept his eyes glued to the door: "At that time, I was really remorseful, and I almost didn't want to live anymore. But when I thought that we still had a child, I tried desperately to survive. ”
Jiang Bei glanced at Wang Sixteen, the base encourages love and children, and most people have offspring at a very young age.
"Two years ago, I was really happy when I learned that there was a solution to the emergency dungeon on the fire base, we spent every day in fear and danger, if we can really solve the sudden dungeon, then the children don't have to worry about it every day like us;
"It's a pity that at that time, Canterlot suddenly broke out in a large-scale surprise copy, and the communication between the two bases was interrupted from then on. But I didn't expect that there was still the old signal transmitter in this copy, and with this we will definitely be able to re-establish contact and know how to solve the sudden copy;
"I think this could be a turning point, the base will be better after solving the sudden dungeon, and everyone will be able to have the future they want."
