Instead, neon lights spread across the horizon, and the hustle and bustle of psychedelic colors illuminate the endless dark night of the wilderness.

Walking through the dry wind can easily give the illusion of being lost in the darkness and neon.

The disappearance of the gate, in addition to preventing visitors from leaving without permission, will also cause players in it to have a sense of confusion, which will further attack their pleasure system, and is also a psychological test for players with poor psychological quality.

Rather than the disappearing circus entrance, Qi Ji focused on the third and fourth principles.

Judging from the content of the fourth blocked rule, as well as the conversation with the blue-uniformed conductor just now, the relationship between the circus employees is complicated, and it seems that there are different positions in the camp.

This is a tricky point, since the rules mention that there are circus employees who cannot be trusted, how can they ensure that the rules that are distributed are "correct"?

Qi Ji synchronized his doubts and concerns to Lu Zhi: "Do you have any thoughts on this?" ”

Lu Zhi was also at a loss: "Since we can't tell who is a reliable staff, then regarding the third rule, we can only try to avoid the food provided in the circus..."

"But of course the dungeon won't be so friendly, I have a hunch that there will be a part where we need to eat later, which is really a headache." Lu Zhi scratched his head in annoyance.

Qi Ji folded the rules that he had memorized without changing his face: "If the circus employees are not all reliable, according to this logic, the little brother in the blue uniform just now is probably also unreliable, so the rules and badges he gave us may be ......."

When Qi Yan said this, Lu Zhi, who suddenly realized something, felt a chill run down his spine: "This ......"

"But it shouldn't be, assuming that the dungeon is a trap for players who have just entered the game, it will be too boring," Qi Ji quickly overturned the previous assumption, and said thoughtfully, "So the blue uniform of the opening ticket staff is probably some kind of signal..."

Lu Zhi glanced at the time, and it was 6:30 p.m. in the dungeon.

According to the ticket sales staff, there is still half an hour before the first show begins.

"Now we're looking for clues about the circus schedule?" Lu Zhi proposed.

Qi Zhen nodded: "There are also clues about color, which should be an element that can run through the main plot of the dungeon." ”

As he spoke, he subconsciously touched the tourist badge on his chest.

From the moment he received the circus flyer, Qi Yan was very concerned about the visual color presented by the circus.

After all, everything from the green and white tent logo on the poster, to the weird blue stockings and uniforms worn by the male conductors, to the badges distributed to tourists, are all linked to "color".

"Let's go, hurry up and take a look around and find a way to trigger the plot clues."

At this moment, in the noisy circus, Qi Yan clearly felt that the "sense of sharing" was disappearing.

Since entering the dungeon, the connection between him and the 079 guy seems to have been blocked by the dungeon mechanism, and he has become accustomed to the existence of the other party, and even feels a little uncomfortable, as if some important connection has been suddenly cut off.

But it doesn't matter, Qi Ji believes that it won't be long before he and 079 can meet in the dungeon.

What role will he play this time? In what capacity did you meet him?

It's very exciting.

Suddenly, in the shadow of the neon lights, Qi Zhen saw a flash of fire.

It's like someone lit a lighter with the wind on their back.

Qi Yan looked along the firelight, a familiar figure with fluffy curly hair flashed from under the neon light, Qi Jiu's footsteps paused slightly, and the other party seemed to look at him in a hurry, and left in a low-key manner.

Although standing in the open, Qi Yan was sure that the other party had seen him, but he didn't seem to have any intention of greeting him.

Maybe the light is too dim, and I recognize the wrong person, otherwise according to the other party's character, it is impossible not to come and say hello......

"Qi Jiu!?" Just then, an equally familiar voice sounded behind him.

Qi Yan and Lu Zhi turned their heads at the same time, and under the light and shadow of the neon lights, Qin Rang ran towards Qi Yan with a face full of surprise: "Good guy, I didn't admit my mistake, right?!" It's really you! ”

Qi Jiu, who was standing under the lamp, smiled: "It's me." ”

"Hey, it's so ostentatious that you look like this, it's really hard for people to admit their mistakes," because he hadn't run for too long, Qin Rang was already a little tired and a little out of breath, but it didn't prevent him from seeing Qi Yan's good mood at the moment.

"I didn't expect that after being 'abandoned' by you last time, we would still meet by chance in the dungeon, could this dungeon be some kind of online gathering of friends?" Qin Rang joked.

"A gathering of friends?" Qi Yan quickly grasped the key point of the information, he looked at Qin Rang who was panting, and a certain sense of disobedience was about to come to light, so he asked tentatively-

Chapter 109: Highway Circus (3)

"Did you see Ji Xiaoye too?" Qi Zhen asked.

"Eh, didn't you say hello?" Qi Yan's wording made Qin Rang feel strange, and he muttered, "Just now she said that she came to smoke, I don't know where to go, I thought you had already met." ”

Qin Rang's answer confirmed Qi Yan's guess that the person who lit the fire in the neon shadow just now was Ji Xiaoye.

But why did the other party look like he didn't see him when he saw him? It's like they don't know each other...

Qi Zhen's intuition was a little wrong, but he couldn't say a specific sense of disobedience.

"What about Gu Zhenzhen? Did you come in? Qi Yan asked again.

"Yes, when you say that, it doesn't seem to be true, I didn't see it anyway..."Qin Rang scratched his head consciously.

Qi Yan frowned imperceptibly, and said thoughtfully: "Really? I thought they would both act together when they got married. ”

"You're a friend of Qi Jiu, right?" Qin Rang had already noticed Lu Zhi beside Qi Yan, and introduced himself with a smile, "Hello, my name is Qin Rang, and I am Qi Yan's former partner. ”

As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue at Qi Jiu.

It seems that Qin Rang has grown a lot in the dungeon, and now he can be very calm, and he can even be said to enter the dungeon very easily, which is a manifestation of adapting to the world of rules and illustrations.

After all, he is the Emperor of Europe, and there is no more fortunate player than him.

Lu Zhi: "... Hello, my name is Lu Zhi, and I just started messing with Brother Qi. ”

At this moment, Ji Xiaoye, who the two of them were discussing just now, reappeared under the neon light, she bit the cigarette in her mouth, and through the rising white mist, she squinted her eyes slightly and looked at Qi Yan.

Qi Yan noticed that Ji Xiaoye's eyes flashed with fleeting vigilance, but she quickly concealed the emotions on her face.

At the same time, Lu Zhi, who was looking at her, also showed a wary look.

In the end, Lu Zhi glanced at Qi Yan hesitantly, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

"Good evening," Qi Yan looked at Ji Xiaoye casually and smiled, "Didn't Gu Zhenzhen come with you?" ”

Ji Xiaoye spit out the half-burned cigarette in his mouth and shrugged: "Recently, she has been feeling a little unwell, so she has to stay in the city to recuperate. ”

"I have to come in to earn money to support my family, after all, I want to buy a big house in the city." Ji Xiaoye returned to his previous appearance and joked.

Qi Yan lowered his gaze, he looked at the tourist badges that Ji Xiaoye and Qin Rang pinned on their chests, and noticed that their badges were the same as his own, with the same bright yellow background and a simple smiley face pattern.

"By the way, what kind of receptionist did you meet at the ticket office when you came in?" Qi Zhen began to compare each other's information.

Qin Rang: "He looks very burly, and then..."

"He's wearing a blue uniform and stockings, and to be honest he looks a bit out of place, I think it's a women's clothing boss." He said with an attempt to gesticulate.

Qi Yan nodded: "Did the receptionist tell you how long it will take for the performance to start?" ”

Qin Rang: "Half an hour." ”

"It seems that the information we know is consistent." Qi asked.

"Just now Ono and I have gone to the performance area to check it out, there are a total of thirteen tents there, the size and style are exactly the same, the only difference is the color stripes, there are two yellow and white tents, two green and white tents, seven red and white tents, and three blue and white tents," Qin Rang quickly synchronized the clues learned from the investigation to Qi Zheng, "Only one of the blue and white tents has turned off the lights, and the other tents are full of light." ”

"But what is more troublesome is that the program list at the door of these tents with lights on is blank, and the specific performance items and performance times are not written at all, and the tent doors are also tightly closed, so we can't judge their specific performances by the appearance of the tents for the time being, and we don't dare to trespass." Qin Rang continued.

"The tent with the lights out, we guess it's the tent area with three question marks on the package." Ji Xiaoye spread out his package ticket and pointed to the gray tent icon that had not yet unlocked the show.

"There are now a total of 12 tents with lights on in the performance area, but there are only six unlocked performances that need to be stamped and punched in the package. Half of the performances in the tents were 'wrong'? This is used to mislead incoming tourists? Qin Rang analyzed with some hesitation.

Lu Zhi also quickly got into the groove: "But now we are very passive, and we don't know what the danger and punishment will be if we enter the so-called 'wrong' tent. ”

"The punishment seems to be obvious," Qi Yan was silent for half a second, and analyzed, "We need to experience the items on the package in three days as tourists, if we take the day and night apart, plus tonight, we have a total of three days and four nights, and there are a total of seven items that need to be experienced on the package, assuming that there is only one performance per day and night, it just meets the number of "seven", is this a coincidence in quantity?" Or was the copy deliberately arranged? ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed.

Because they know that in the dungeon world, the various plot points and clues are closely connected, and there are few coincidental theories.

The three days and four nights with seven circus performances that need to be stamped for philately are most likely not coincidences, but a carefully arranged schedule of the plot of the copy -

Each of the seven time slots corresponds to seven performances.

One is not more, one is not less.

This also means that they must not make mistakes in their choices at each time period, otherwise they will not be able to complete the main quest of the seven stamped philately.

"Of course, this is just my guess, and I need to find a performance schedule to verify." Qi Yan added.

Lu Zhi frowned: "In any case, I think that since the package has circled the performance items that we need to watch, there is a high probability that there will be a price to pay for entering the 'wrong' performance tent, after all, this is not within the scope of our package." ”

Qin Rang nodded in agreement: "I just don't know what this price is... And if, as Qi Ji speculated, we can't make the wrong choice at every step, otherwise there will not be enough time to complete the main story. ”

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Qi Jiu, he was obviously used to finding answers to difficult problems from Qi Jiu.

Qi Yan was silent for a moment, and he quickly figured out the known clues, rules, and possibilities in his mind.

"Now we can't judge whether the tent is 'correct' from its appearance, it seems that we can only go to the rest area to look for clues first," Qi Zhen looked at the map in his hand and then looked at the time, "We still have twenty-five minutes, let's find the clues corresponding to the tent and the performance as soon as possible." ”

The other three unanimously agreed with Qi Jiu's proposal, since there was no way to find more clues in the performance area, then a different map might be able to gain something, anyway, there was still some time.

When going to the rest area, Ji Xiaoye walked in front, and Qi Jiu, Lu Zhi, and Qin Rang walked behind.

While Qin Rang was studying the map and the package of tickets on the side, Qi Yan patted Lu Zhi's shoulder, motioned for him to slow down slightly, and asked in a low voice, "When you saw Ji Xiaoye just now, did you notice that something was wrong?" ”

Qi Zhen had already keenly noticed the doubts in Lu Zhi's expression, and he just pretended not to see it at that time.

Lu Zhi hesitated for half a second and said, "Actually, I'm not sure. ”

"At first glance, she has a bit of a 'violator' feeling... But if you look closely, it doesn't seem to be," Lu Zhi said with a frown and shook his head, "and since she is your old friend, she shouldn't be." ”

"What does it feel like to be a 'violator'?" Qi Yan asked quietly.

He knew very well that Lu Zhi's most special skill was to be able to distinguish the aura that belonged to the "violator".

Lu Zhi: "That's not too rigorous, it's just... She gave me a chaotic aura at first, as if she was a mixture of the aura of a "violator" and a normal player, so I was a little confused, but after careful discernment, I felt that it was not very likely that she was a "violator". ”

Qi Yan nodded, but did not answer this.

On the way to the rest area, in order to allow everyone to better get clues, Qi Yan took out the "Highway Circus Leaflet" that was wet with rain.

He was the only one of the four present who owned the leaflet.

After all, he is the only "relative" of the copy.

After seeing this leaflet, Qin Rang subconsciously questioned "Huh": "Is the picture on the leaflet actually a green tent?" There are green tents in the performance area, but there are very few of them... So is the green tent the subject of the dungeon? ”

Ji Xiaoye: "But the clowns, magicians, and acrobats on the screen look painful and frightened, and nothing good seems to happen in the green tent." ”
