- Punishment.

They don't want to know what the punishment is at all.

When she first heard the name "ghost hiding game", her eyebrows protruded slightly, and she felt that this game was probably not a good thing.

She took a deep breath and bargained with Andrei: "Then before the game starts, can you let us go to the second floor...... Uh, recognise the way? ”

Andrei smiled and refused: "No." ”

Failed to exploit the loophole, and the skirt sighed in the bottom of her heart.

At first glance, this game can be summed up as a game of "hide and seek".

The villa occupies a large area, and the interior looks like an old castle, and the architectural structure is complex. Even if the hiding place is limited to the second floor, there are still a lot of hidden and safe spaces available, and there are countless guest rooms alone, and after searching one by one, I am afraid that the game is over is only enough to search for a dozen rooms.

So under normal circumstances, twenty minutes to find two people is actually very extreme.

Sounds like a big win.

Including Andrei's words such as "hide in three minutes" and "the more hidden, the better", will give people a sense of urgency, and you must hide yourself in three minutes so that searchers can't find you. Coupled with the human instinct to prefer a safe environment and avoid facing danger head-on, most people will choose to "hide" this mode of clearing the level.

But this is in the dungeon world, and it's not people who are tracking them, they're ghosts.

The name "dog" has a certain hint of a sensitive sense of smell, does it mean that it has the ability to capture clues that track live players?

If you stay in one place, there is only one result:

Catching turtles in the urn is a dead end.

This is the first thought of the skirt when it hears the rules of the game.

What they want to play is not hide-and-seek, it's a wandering war.

The focus of the rules is never to hide, but to ...... Don't get caught.

But it's much more difficult to wander around and dodge than to hide in a fixed location, and who knows if you'll be unlucky and hit the ghost head-on and hit the BE ending directly. In contrast, familiarity with the environment is extremely important, and it is directly related to the difficulty of escaping.

Unfortunately, in order to avoid triggering the death mechanic, players did not explore the villa environment at first, and stayed in the lobby honestly. When this happens, it's a clumsy situation.

Three minutes, the time is too short, there is no time to survey the terrain.

The more analyzed, the paler the face of the skirt became. She couldn't help but take a deep breath, not wanting to bring out the negative emotions and affect her teammates, so she tried her best to make a relaxed expression and talk to Yuan Yuxue.

She was afraid that Yuan Yuxue would fall into Andre's verbal trap, and deliberately explained in a whisper why she couldn't hide it directly-and then found that Yuan Yuxue never seemed to have considered the plan of hiding.

He let out a soft "um", and his dark eyelashes drooped, half-covering his beautiful eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

The skirt thought bitterly, it would be better for the newcomer to choose the route later, she was so unlucky, maybe she picked a path that took the initiative to send to the ghost's mouth.

Immediately afterwards, the skirt heard Yuan Yuxue summarize very calmly: "The first game is indeed simpler. ”

Skirt: "......"

The sound of their conversation was clearly small, but it was still heard by Andrei.

Everyone saw Andre's smile stop in an instant, and he stared at Yuan Yuxue for a long time, and sneered very loudly.

Skirt: "......" is finished, and suddenly it feels like they may have offended the boss.

Andrei didn't hide it at all, and urged them to hurry up and play the game in a vicious tone.

Yuan Yuxue got up and was about to go to the second floor place specified by Andre, and when he passed the curly seat, he suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes.

The curls are very strong, and the fingers are clenched very tightly. Yuan Yuxue didn't catch it for a while, but fortunately, the quality of the fabric was good, so it was not torn by the curls.

Yuan Yuxue: "? ”

Curly hair rubbed his eyebrows, and the expression on his face looked a little unspeakably tangled, and it wasn't until Yuan Yuxue's surprised gaze fell on him for a long time that he tangled up and took out a prop from his personal access space and buckled it on Yuan Yuxue's wrist.

There was a slight "click".

It was a pure white watch, but there were no hands on the surface, just a flat glass screen.

"Nightmare Watch." Curly awkwardly said its name, and the other players looked up after hearing the name, apparently knowing how rare this particular item was.

But looking at the newcomer's still puzzled gaze, Curly knew that of course he didn't know the function of this prop, and reluctantly helped to explain: "The prop used to determine the existence of 'that', after activation, the closer to 'that', the surface will be more bright red - it's just a useless prop, and it comes in handy at this time." ”

Andrei's presence is not taboo at all.

Others: ". ”

Are you sure the Nightmare Watch is a useless prop?

didn't receive Yuan Yuxue's feedback, Curly's face became even more stinky, and he continued to say in a violent tone: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just afraid that you will die too quickly, so I can't observe." When you're done with it, remember to give it back to me. ”

Don't really die there.

Yuan Yuxue thought for a while: "Thank you, but I don't ......"

Curly hair seemed to be poked at some point in the spot, and incredulously accused him: "Are you still going to reject me?" You've rejected me twice! ”

The rabbit next to him couldn't help but laugh briefly, causing Curly to stare dissatisfied. She hurriedly restrained her smile and looked at the little newcomer lovingly: "You take it first, players should help each other at this time." Come on. ”

The team said "um" in agreement, and by the way, they stuffed two bottles of red medicine into Yuan Yuxue's hand, and spoke, "Treat the injury first." ”

Rabbit thought, you guys make me feel out of place if I don't send something.

But when she complained, Andre, who was grinding his teeth, had already stood up and personally supervised the two players who were picked by him and hurried upstairs.

It seems that if this group of players rubs a little harder, he can release the "dogs" in the next second, and press them all to death in the doorway.

Ascending to the second floor via a spiral staircase, André stopped at the top of the staircase.

He crossed his arms and looked at Yuan Yuxue, and the dim corridor light fell on his face, adding an indescribable ...... to that deep facial feature Spooky taunt.

Andrei's expression seemed to change a little suddenly and subtly, and there was pure coldness and a little killing intent in his pupils. He gracefully looked down at his pocket watch and reminded, "The game is on." ”

"Three-minute timer, one, two......"

When Andrei said that, the skirt's first reaction was to run first and then speak.

Run farther away, even if the goblins come straight to them, it will take more time.

Of course, the skirt did not forget to remind Yuan Yuxue. It turned out that although the little newcomer looked weak and weak, she had a long waist and long legs, and her running speed was not slow, and even she couldn't catch up.

The countdown of three minutes seemed to be pressing on her ears, and while her skirt was silently calculating, she forgot all the thoughts she had at first, and when she saw a remote corridor, she wanted to drill into it—and then she was stopped by Yuan Yuxue.

The other party was very polite, just through the sleeve, gently shook her wrist as a reminder.

But the skirt seemed to feel a little coolness from Yuan Yuxue's fingertips.

Fang Fang's anxious mood, which had just been oppressed by the timing, suddenly sank a little.

Yuan Yuxue said: "Here." ”

The division of the second floor of the villa is complicated, and they are now in the guest room area where they are staying, with an invisible door in front of them. If it weren't for the different landscapes adorned on the walls, it would almost give people the weird idea that they were constantly spinning in the same place.

The place Yuan Yuxue was pointing to was also a guest room, and after he stopped, he stepped forward and turned the doorknob.

The door is unlocked.

With a "squeak" as it was pushed away, the light fell in, and you could see the fine dust stirred up by the action of pushing the door flying, and there was some choking smell inside the door that had not seen the light of day for a long time.

The skirt was slightly stunned, and she subconsciously said: "It's not safe to hide here......"

"Don't hide." Yuan Yuxue said, "Let's go from here." ”

He had scanned the general topography of the villa before, and just now he spent some of his energy to re-explore the topographic map of the second floor, and had just planned several route maps with multiple transfer exits that could be moved flexibly.

Obviously, now is the moment of racing against time, but the skirt is still as if she was bewitched, and she subconsciously followed Yuan Yuxue in.

There was a light in the room, but neither of them would be stupid enough to turn it on. And after the door was closed, the skirt that had barely relied on a little light source in the corridor to make out the layout of the room was even more confused, and could only vaguely see Yuan Xuxue walking to the side of the painting at the head of the bed, as if he had gently moved the painting, or changed the position, the wall suddenly moved, flipping out a narrow secret passage that could barely be passed by one person.

Skirt: "! ”

Grass.

If it weren't for the image of a little bit of care, the skirt might have been shouted out.

It's not that she hasn't considered the existence of the secret passage, but time is pressing, and it is too difficult to observe the entrance of the secret passage and use it in a few minutes, so she didn't expect it to appear so easily in the hands of newcomers.

When she was still stunned, Yuan Yuxue had already stepped into the secret passage first.

The height of the secret passage is acceptable, and Yuan Xuxue doesn't have to bow his head, but the width is narrow, and he can only enter one person at a time. The walls inside were inlaid with fluorescent stones, and although the light source was faint, when the faint blue light fell on Yuan Yuxue's body, it seemed that his exposed neck was extremely white.

It seemed strange why the skirt didn't keep up, Yuan Yuxue looked back at her.

"Come on."

With little hesitation, the skirt followed, even if there was still some confusion in his mind.

The dimly lit environment makes people feel like they are in a trance in time, and the skirt feels like they have been gone for a long time, but in fact, less than a minute has passed, and the narrow passage has come to an end-

Yuan Yuxue pressed the mechanism in front of them, and when they walked out, they had already left the hospitality area and came to the kitchen where the food was stored.

It's quiet here, and there's no one. In the corners were piles of vegetables and fruits that were not fresh and yellow, and some meat that had been slaughtered and drained of blood.

The skirt frowned a little uncomfortably at the sight of the fresh internal organs soaked in the water, some obvious shapes of hands and feet.

Yuan Yuxue didn't stop, he pushed open the door and walked out, and it can even be said that he walked to the next location very purposefully.

Three minutes have passed, and the "dogs" should have been released to track them.

The Nightmare Watch has not shown any reaction since it was first taken, proving that they are still in a very safe area.

Watching Yuan Xuxue skillfully lead the way, shuttle through the secret passage dark room, and come to various unfamiliar areas, the doubts in the bottom of the skirt are still getting stronger and stronger. Even though she knew that now was not the time to ask questions, she couldn't help but say, "That...... Yuan wants snow. ”

Yuan Yuxue tilted her head slightly, proving that she was listening.

"Why are you so familiar with this place?" The skirt considered from her own point of view, "Is it the topographic map of the villa that you have seen before?" ”

Even if you survey, the villa is so big that it is almost impossible to know this level in one day.

Looking at the map?

Is it a topographic map that you have in your head?

Yuan Yuxue hesitated: "Hmm." ”

I see.

The skirt was easily persuaded, and she was a little unhappy when she thought of the time when she found out that the newcomer had left the team without permission. Now it seems that this newcomer was more prescient and daring than all of them.

"What you saw when you left the team?"

It is indeed a topographic map scanned at that time.
