Suddenly, Qin Rang's face showed vigilance, and he lowered his voice and said urgently: "Wait a minute! We're being watched! ”

"What?!" Lu Zhi quickly took out his surveillance and reconnaissance props, which are one of the few props that are not locked, and can quickly lock the surveillance electronic equipment hidden around.

"I didn't find anything unusual here, which means that there is no electronically related monitoring equipment nearby." Lu Zhi quickly got the information.

Qin Rang frowned puzzledly: "But my anti-monitoring system is still sending out alarms, indicating that there is indeed a monitoring behavior nearby......"

In his previous pass, he unlocked a permanent ability to prevent surveillance, and the system is constantly alerting him.

"That's weird, is it the type of surveillance that my props can't find?"

"But what to do, as long as the surveillance is not eliminated, we are likely to be exposed to the clown's sight at any time......"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and anxious, and just when the two of them were a little at a loss, Qi Yan quietly pressed his index finger to his lips: "Shhh ”

He motioned for the two to be quiet.

Lu Zhi and Qin Rang quickly exchanged glances with him, and immediately nodded silently.

I saw Qi Jiu, who had turned into a child, tiptoeing towards the smiling face mask scattered on the ground in the corridor of the ruins, and he tiptoed to turn the mask that was originally face up with a posture that did not disturb the baby's sleep, and directly let the face of the mask face to the ground.

At the same time, Qin Rang's alarm system stopped sounding in an instant.

Sure enough, you guessed it!

Masks are the source of "surveillance"!

While breathing a sigh of relief, Qi Yan calmly explained: "It's the line of sight, these scattered masks are equivalent to cameras, staring at our every move. ”

Qi Jiu, who has a blood bloodline, has much sharper senses than ordinary people, from the very beginning he was aware of the uncomfortable feeling of being stared at, at first he was not sure if he was suspicious, but since Qin Rang's alarm system and sent out prompts, it means that his perception is not wrong.

Since there is no electronic monitoring equipment around, the source of sight can only be masks.

Because the eyes on the mask, like the clown, are the same black abyss, and there is no emotion in it.

These ubiquitous masks are the clown's "sight", watching the children's every move at all times.

After confirming that the alarm was lifted, Qin let the whole person breathe a sigh of relief: "It's so hateful, on the surface it is a relatively fair game of hide and seek between the two sides, but in fact, the clown has installed 'sights' all over the ruins, who would have thought that..."

This silent surveillance makes people think about it carefully.

The trio used props to lock on to the coordinates, accurately avoiding the line of sight of all the masks in the vicinity, and several masks were scattered along the path, so the trio had to clean up and then turn back to the route, so as not to reveal their whereabouts.

"Since they love to stare so much, let them see for themselves." Qi Jiu picked up a few masks on the way and folded them like matryoshka dolls, leaving the masks and masks relatively silent, or "thinking about it".

Lu Zhiqin rang: "When is the ......", Qi Zhen still has the mind to joke, it really deserves to be him.

The door locks on the ruined apartments were almost broken, except for a few rooms with jammed door locks, most of the others could enter and exit at will, and after confirming that they were in the blind spot of the mask's vision, Qi Zhen pushed open the damaged door of the apartment to check the inside of the room.

The structure of these apartments is very similar, with broken closets, dining tables, sofas and beds, and the narrow bathrooms are filled with bathtubs, and if you want to hide, ordinary people will look at the hidden spaces such as wardrobes, under the beds, or bathtubs, while there are many rooms in the ruined apartments, and if the whereabouts have not yet been revealed, it is time-consuming for the clown to search room by himself, and he can hold on to hiding for a while according to the usual way of thinking.

But Qi Ji didn't want to waste time on meaningless dodging and waiting.

He quickly surveyed the structure of the apartment and quickly locked his gaze on the already mottled ceiling.

"Why don't we find a room with an open-air balcony, and then use props to hide the location under the balcony, which happens to be a blind spot in sight." Qin Rang proposed.

"It's safer, but wouldn't we be in danger if the clown happened to be looking up from the downstairs window?" Lu Zhi said thoughtfully.

Qin Rang: "... Is it so coincidental, so unlucky? ”

He didn't think that such a thing would happen to him, the European emperor.

"Brother Qi, do you have any ideas?" Lu Zhi turned to ask Qi Zhidao.

Qi Zhen pointed to the vent on the ceiling: "I suggest hiding in the vent duct, on the one hand, with the current shape of our children, we can easily get in, and the clown who is an adult can't come in and track, it will be safer for the time being; On the other hand, ventilation ducts are likely to connect the rooms, through which we can attempt to enter locked apartments, and the clues to the quest are likely to be hidden in those locked rooms. ”

In order to save time, Qi Yan spoke quickly, but his clear analysis quickly persuaded Qin Rang and Lu Zhi.

Indeed, there is no better hiding place than a ventilation duct at this moment, and the pipe opening, which can only accommodate one child, is as if it were tailor-made for them.

Is this also understandable that the clown is deep down, in fact, he wants the children to enter the locked room through the ventilation duct and open the secrets hidden in his heart?

Just as he doesn't want to see the audience's hypocritical laughter, he appreciates the audience's real fear and sadness.

After deciding on a plan of action, the three quickly rolled up their sleeves and climbed up the ventilation duct.

Lu Zhi was a walking prop box, and he generously used climbing and stamina props for himself and his teammates, and the three of them had less than twenty seconds to open the rusty iron frame of the vent and successfully enter the pipe.

But everything went so smoothly.

"Brother Qi, what's wrong? Is there something wrong? With the light outside the ventilation duct, Lu Zhi quickly caught the doubts flashing across Qi Yan's face.

Qi Ji shook his head thoughtfully: "I'm wondering, will this be too simple?" We entered the Joker's tent and turned into children, and when playing hide and seek, children have physical advantages, such as pipes that the clown can't climb into......"

The corners of Qin Rang's lips twitched: "... Not every player can spot the "Mask Gaze" track, and not every player can think of going into the ventilation duct to hide, are you raising the bar for hide and seek too high? ”

Qi Ji didn't speak, and Lu Zhi's face did not relax: "I think the rules of hide and seek have loopholes to drill, and the 'catch' of hide and seek does not necessarily mean to be caught with your own hands, I tend to think that as long as it is seen and confirmed by the clown, it will be judged as a failure of the game, for example, under the surveillance of the mask, the clown is easy to lock the children's position, as long as the children do not have time to quickly climb deep into the vent, they will also be caught by him." ”

"Moreover, in the process of hide and seek, the clown may have some other means, such as creating a scare so that the children have to come out of the ventilation duct or something, such as getting some man-eating mice, mutant cockroaches, etc... The possibility is still very high. ”

Qin Rang shuddered instantly: "Damn... It's scary to say that. ”

He winced and looked behind him, afraid that a group of mutated rats and cockroaches would run out of the dark deep pipes, the most feared thing in his life, even more disgusting than ghosts.

At this moment, the slightest movement in the pipeline can make Qin Rang's hair stand upside down.

"Don't forget, the clown also has helpers, and his helpers, like us, are 'kids' who can get into the ventilation ducts." Qi Yan analyzed.

All players remember that the Joker mentioned when announcing the rules -

"Uncle Clown loves to share happiness with children, welcome children to join my camp, and find other cute children with me, don't let me fight alone!"

The so-called same camp has changed from the identity of the "hiding" to the "discoverer".

So the "Finder" can also be a "Child" player.

"The clown said that as long as we find his secret, we can join his camp and become the "discoverers", Brother Qi, do you think this matter is reliable?" Lu Zhi asked.

Qi Jiu: "I will reserve my opinion on this first, and find clues first." ”

Soon, three minutes had passed.

"Ding-dong! Let me see what kind of surprise the cute children can bring me! ”

The safe time given to the players has passed, and the Joker opens his eyes and walks from the Ruined Square to the apartment building with a look of anticipation.

At the same time, the trio held their breath and carefully crawled through the ventilation ducts, trying not to make any noise as much as possible.

While crawling, Qi Yan seemed to hear the damp sound of "ticking, ticking" from the dark places.

But when he looked closely at the pipe wall, he didn't see any traces of liquid flowing.

I don't know if it's the sound that brings sensory illusions, Qi Yan always feels that his fingers have touched the cold slime when he crawls, but in fact he has nothing under his hands, only rough and dry cement walls.

What the hell is going on? Is it really just an illusion?

Qin Rang and Lu Zhi didn't seem to have the same doubts, they just stared vigilantly at the thick darkness in the depths of the pipe.

"Shhhhh

Suddenly, Qi Yan stopped crawling forward, he quickly turned his head, and quietly gave a silent gesture to the two people behind him.

Through the narrow vents blocked by barbed wire, the three of them witnessed a scene that made them extremely uncomfortable-

Chapter 114: Highway Circus (8)

Wire bars at vents cut the light to pieces.

Through the rusty barbed wire, the three men hiding in the pipes witnessed what was happening in the room.

This room was different from the previous apartment rooms, the small space was filled with a huge freezer, and two players who were also the size of a child of seven or eight years old stood in front of the freezer.

He was slightly chubby in one of them, and sickly thin and pale in the other.

And this room has other strange things, the narrow room is filled with all kinds of animal specimens.

These specimens are made from the whole leather of the animal, and after the death of the animal, the fat, internal organs and bones of the carcass are carefully removed, and then the intact leather is carefully tanned, filled, and shaped, and the finished product can only be obtained after multiple processes.

To make such a lifelike taxidermy, the maker needs to know the body structure of the animal very well, and the dead animal needs to be "fresh" enough.

With a "click", the glass door of the freezer was pulled open by a thin and pale boy.

Suddenly, the slightly chubby boy turned blue with fright, and he almost subconsciously took a few steps back, until he was tripped by the taxidermy behind him, and then he had to stop, and the sudden horror scene made him unable to say a complete sentence: "This, here..."

Because the distance was not too far, the three of them could see the frozen gray and purple human corpses stored in the freezer.

The corpses were also seven or eight years old, and they were stored in the freezer like frozen sardines, one on top of the other, and it was impossible to count the number of corpses at once to fill the freezer.

Obviously, this is the ruins of the clown, and the clown is most likely the murderer of these children.

The fat boy's face was horrified, but his tone calmed down a little, and he proposed, "I said... It's disgusting, but should we hide in this freezer so that the clown can't find us, right? ”

The other thin, pale boy looked calmly at the corpses in the freezer, and from the very beginning, he showed no fear of the corpses of these children, as if he were just witnessing a freezer of frozen sardines.

"Looks like you like to stay in the freezer." The skinny pale boy finally looked away from the freezer and looked at the fat boy, who was visibly frightened.

"What?" The fat boy was puzzled by his strange wording, "No, it's not a question of whether I like it or not, it's just that I think it's safer, I think there's a good chance that the clown won't come to the freezer at this point in time to rummage through his 'loot', right?" If you don't like it, you can leave. ”

There was a little dissatisfaction in his tone, as if he was worried that the skinny boy would not want to hide in the freezer, exposing his target and implicating him.

The skinny boy didn't mind the other party's unfriendliness at all, and he smiled, "No, I like it very much." ”

The fat boy looked at him more and more strangely: "What... It's weird, if you have something to say, please say it well, anyway, it's just a temporary partner. ”

"It's just that if we hide in the freezer, we need to use anti-freeze props, so do you have similar props? I can buy it with you for a little more money, it's too cold in the freezer. The fat boy said as he looked at the freezer with a look of disgust and resistance.

The skinny boy didn't say anything right away, he looked at the fat boy with interest: "I mean, I like you to stay in the freezer." ”

"What do you mean?" The fat boy became more and more confused, and at the same time the look of alarm on his face became more and more obvious, "Are you not going to use my method?" ”

"Shh The skinny boy suddenly gestured quietly.

"Huh?" Although he didn't know what was going on, the fat boy saw that the other party didn't mean to joke, and was so frightened that he immediately stopped moving.

The skinny boy still laughed: "We found out the secret of the Joker, right?" ”

"yes, the clown is perverted... He has a tendency to abuse animals and has killed countless children. The fat boy said.

The skinny boy stood with his hands behind his back and repeated the clown's words: "Uncle Clown likes to share happiness with the children the most, welcome the children to join my camp, and find other cute children with me, don't let me fight alone!" ”

"Huh?" Although the fat boy didn't understand what the other party was talking about, he suddenly had a bad premonition......
