First of all, you have to know how to use the rules to summon this "non-existent friend", and you have to make sure that this "non-existent friend" will not harm the task object He Sizhao, and you must also know that even if you use the rules to kill He Chengwei, it will not affect the completion of the final main quest.

"Is there a possibility that the high school student-looking player and his teammates are also betting?" Some players are cautious about giving their opinions.

“… Then his weight is big enough, the risk is too high. ”

"What do you say, I see that you have been comfortable in the city for a long time, how can you not gamble in the "Rules Illustrated Book" to 'beg for life'? Who can guarantee that they will survive 100% safely? Lin Peilan sighed.

All the players stopped, and no one continued to question the successful game-breaking plan without knowing each other, but calmed down from the panic just now, trying to analyze the series of logic and solutions behind the plan, trying to find the huge information hidden under the surface of the iceberg from the tip of the iceberg.

Of course, they still have the biggest question: Why did Qi Ji and Qi Xiaonian, who had already obtained their family identity cards, take the risk to do this?

*

In room 203, Qi Xiaonian's piano sound continued.

He put his fingers on the keys, and turned his head back with a slight movement: "Brother, do I want to continue?" There's still half of the tune left. ”

But Qi Xiaonian knew that two minutes had long passed, and their mission had been successful.

Qi Yan stood in the backlight, and his voice was a little deep: "Please continue." ”

"Oh, okay." Qi Xiaonian turned around as he said, slightly surprised in his heart, because an unusual look of concentration flashed on Qi Yan's face just now.

He rarely saw such a look on his brother's face, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive, a little anxious, and a little expectant.

It should be a very important role for my brother......

Qi Zhen tilted his head and looked intently at the crayon drawing of Duoxi Duole and "non-existent friends".

He narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing if it was because he had been staring for too long, and he felt that the black shadow in the picture began to dissolve, like ice cream in his hand in summer, silently dissolving and dripping, and the black shadows on the canvas became blurred and damp, and even the wall under the frame had traces of being impregnated with black liquid.

The color of the dark shadow on the canvas is fading, and the "non-existent friend" seems to be secretly "escaping" from the frame.

Qi Zhen stared at him with a look that looked at his prey for a moment.

He made no further movements, as if by the act of staring, showing respect for the other person's existence.

It's also part of the game, and we know each other.

When the dark shadow completely faded out of the frame, Qi Jiu's gaze turned to the window opposite the crayon drawing.

The glass of the window reflected the shadow of Qi Yan, one in front and one in the back, two shadows, two him.

In an instant, Qi Yan's eyelids jumped, and his fingertips became hot.

He stared at a pair of shadows in the window, he was staring at each other, and the other was staring at him as well, motionless from each other, keeping an absolutely safe distance.

Who is the shadow of who? Who is the shadow? Who's real?

What is the difference between shadow and reality?

Does it matter?

In the long stare at each other, Qi Ji delusionally felt that his blood was burning all over his body, and it was boiling hot to the deepest part of his chest.

"Little friend, how did you grow up?" Qi Ji moved his lips and spoke silently.

He trusts that the other person can read his lips, and he doesn't need the other person to give a definite answer.

Obviously, He in the shadow is what the little boy will look like when he grows up.

Have a face that is exactly the same as your own.

"Who are you, kid?"

The two shadows on the window overlapped each other, gradually becoming the same shadow.

The overlapping shadows curled the corners of his lips, and Qi Zhen was not sure if he was laughing at the moment or the guy.

"Knock Knock Knock ——!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door of 203.

The moment the door slammed, the shadow on the window pane disappeared completely.

At the moment when the black shadow disappeared from view, an indescribable sense of loss soaked in, and a rare trace of impatience flashed between Qi Yan's eyebrows: "Who?" ”

He rarely reveals his true emotions, especially such negative ones.

Qi Zhen noticed that the crayon drawings on the wall had returned to their original state, and the black shadow remained in the frame as it was, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion that Qi Zhen had appeared.

But who knows if it's an illusion or not?

"Knock knock—"

"Who are you looking for?" Qi Yan quickly calmed himself down and asked again in a calm and polite tone.

"Do, my cousin is back."

A female voice came from through the door, and the other party seemed to be talking to them against the door, "Although I came back a little late, I finally caught up with this year." I have brought you a New Year's gift, thank you for helping me take care of He Si, and thank you and other guests for helping me get home smoothly. ”

Qi Yan and Qi Xiaonian quickly glanced at each other, and the newly returned paper man outside the door was Qin Mo, Qin Ruilan's daughter and He Si's mother.

Qi Jiu's previous inference was correct, only by "killing" He Chengwei, who was violent and extremely controlling, could he vacate the quota he occupied, so that Qin Mo could go home.

He Chengwei himself is not in Mrs. Xu's "family" list, so players should find relevant clues and corroborate them, and try their best to eliminate He Chengwei's accident and let the real family Qin Mo go home.

"Actually, it's not the New Year's gift I prepared for you, it's you who correctly answered the guessing activity of the program team of the party with practical actions, and it is the gift that the program team prepared for you."

As he spoke, Qin Mo handed the gift in from the window-

Chapter 213: Year (32)

The gift was a clean white handkerchief.

Although things like handkerchiefs are very similar, Qi Zhen recognized them at a glance, this is the piece that the guy in the dream stuffed into his pocket.

Although it was a little pilling because it had been washed many times, the handkerchief was clean and soaked with the smell of winter rain.

[Congratulations on obtaining the special item "Non-existent Handkerchief": Effect unknown]

【Please note! The system has detected that the use of this item may lead to an unknown crisis, so please be cautious when using it.

The prompts of the system made Qi Yan more and more interested, and he even joked: "Teacher System, does the unknown crisis refer to the fact that you can lure a hidden character with a danger factor of A+++++ to appear?" ”

When Qi Yan first met the Rosefish Factory Doctor played by 079, the system described him as a "A+++++-level hidden character", and he was indeed a high-powered and very dangerous guy.

Perhaps the word "lure" is beyond the scope of the system's understanding, and it paused for two seconds before answering [Sorry, the system has nothing to say at the moment]

Qi Jiu: "That's it... It's a pity. ”

"So if you just get this dangerous guy out, can you make the copy that is in danger because of bugs collapse directly? That way, maybe not a bad thing for players who are forced in..."

[Sorry, no comment]

[Dear travelers, it is the work content and responsibility of the system to provide you with danger warnings, and does not represent the position of the system, please make judgments according to your actual situation]

Qi Jiu: "Thank you, Mr. System, I understand." ”

[Current side quest "Paper Man Who Shouldn't Go Home" progress: 90%]

This made Qi Yan a little unexpected, I thought that "killing" the paper man He Chengwei and letting his wife Qin Mo go home smoothly would be able to complete this branch line, but now it seems that there is still 10% of the plot progress to be completed.

Qi Zhen revisited the plot points about the appearance of 079.

Since the role played by 079 is not what he thinks, and Xu Minxin emphasized that there is no little boy in this apartment, what is the little boy he sees? What kind of existence is the "non-existent friend" sung in the game nursery rhyme?

Just then, the phone rang next door.

Because it was so quiet, and the sound insulation of the old building was very poor, Qi Zhen could clearly distinguish that the phone ringing came from 202 next door, that is, the room of Xu Minxin and his wife.

He could even hear Xu Minxin answering the phone.

Half a minute later, there was a knock on Qi Yan's door—

"Duoxi, it's a call from the party program team, and they're looking for you." Outside the door was Mrs. Xu Minxin's voice, and Qin Mo seemed to have left.

"Okay, I'll go, wait a minute." After Qi Yan and Qi Xiaonian exchanged glances, they came to room 202 with his wife to answer the phone.

"Hello, is it a lot of happy children? Congratulations on answering the second puzzle of the program group correctly, and using practical actions to let Qin Mo go home smoothly. ”

The female operator on the other end of the phone mixed with the sound of electricity continued: "At the same time, you have started our new round of prize guessing activities, and the third puzzle set up by our program team for you is: Where do you want to be?" Please find out what you want. ”

"You are welcome to call our program hotline again to participate in our quiz activities, and you can also confirm the answer through your own practical actions."

"The first gift of the program team has been delivered, please pay attention to check, this gift can provide you with important help in solving the next puzzles." The operator's voice became more and more mechanical and muffled.

"At the same time, thank you for your trust and support to our program team, goodbye."

The operator's voice was finally completely covered by the sound of the signal current.

The phone hung up.

The paper man Xu Minxin and his wife stood in the shadows, looking at Qi Yan with stiff faces, and did not speak the whole time.

After saying goodnight to the paper man's parents, Qi Yan left room 202.

When he returned to SCP-203, an envelope was stuffed into the doorknob of the room, with the words ""Year" Gala Program Group" printed on it.

Presumably this was the first gift that the operator mentioned on the phone.

Qi Zhen opened the envelope, and a rusty key fell from the opening.

【Congratulations on obtaining the important item "Mysterious Door Key]*1]

["Mysterious Door Key" Instructions: A key that can open the door to the answer, and when used correctly, it can help He Xiang go home. Note that this key is a one-time use item, and if used incorrectly, the item will be invalidated immediately.

The program team is honest and deceiving, and this belated gift can really help players solve the puzzle in front of them.

It seems that the "missing" is hidden in this old apartment, and only by going to the right room and successfully finding her can the remaining 10% progress bar of the branch line be filled.

Qi Zhen synchronized the content of the call from the program team just now to Qi Xiaonian.

Qi Xiaonian was a little puzzled: "Brother, what do you mean, is it...?" ”

Qi Zhen knew what Qi Xiaonian had in mind, nodded and said, "That's right, we need to find He Xiang's body." ”

Qi Xiaonian was slightly stunned, and suddenly said: "So... At that time, He Chengwei killed He Xiang in this apartment, and also hid her body nearby, right? ”

Qi Yan nodded: "Remember the graffiti on the sheet music?" ”

As he spoke, Qi Yan picked up the sheet music on the piano, and the graffiti on the back of the sheet depicted the cult picture of the washing machine stirring the limbs of a human child, the villain in the picture had a thing like a fishing line wrapped around his ankle, and the washing machine's wardrobe was a fragmented human limb and organ, and the child in the graffiti was "dissolved" in the washing machine.
