Five minutes later, Sister Jiang came to the lobby on the first floor of Loko's apartment.
She saw the tall and sturdy tasker at a glance, immediately gritted her teeth, and immediately rushed over, yelling: "You damn card dealer! Get out of this nightmare!!!"
The rest of the taskers who were present were startled, showing expressions of surprise, and subconsciously moved away from the muscular man.
The muscular man showed a dazed expression and said innocently: "What... what card dealer?"
"You stole my item card!" Sister Jiang screamed, "The last nightmare, on the fourth floor, you stole my item card!"
The muscular man frowned and said, "What are you talking about...? I never saw you in the last nightmare."
Sister Jiang was dizzy, her hand trembling pointed at the muscular man, unable to say a word for a while.
never seen it? ! This guy actually said he hadn't seen her! Are all card dealers so shameless? !
And... Faced with the denial of the muscular man, Sister Jiang was speechless for a while.
She couldn't produce any definite evidence, even if she knew that the guy in front of her was a thief. They met in the last round of nightmare, except for the two of them, no one knew about it.
But this guy... This guy denies so shamelessly!
Sister Jiang took a deep breath. She said, "Your apartment is in Room 408. This can always prove that we met in the last nightmare!"
The muscular man stared at her, then gave a scornful smile.
The tall and thin tasker next to him tried to talk: "That... Actually we found the check-in record with our respective room numbers written on it. If you saw this in the last round..."
"I also saw the look inside your apartment." Sister Jiang interrupted him, staring at the muscular man, "If it wasn't..."
The muscular man shrugged: "All apartments are the same."
Sister Jiang couldn't bear it anymore: "Search!" She said loudly, "You obviously stole my item card, don't want to deny it!"
"Search?" The muscular man said in surprise, "What the hell are you doing. I did bring the item card to the nightmare, and then you found it out, you have to say that I stole your item card?? "
Sister Jiang was trembling with anger, her eyes trembled and her lips trembled, as if she wanted to kill the man.
"Crazy woman." The muscular man stared at Sister Jiang, even showing a triumphant smile, "You didn't lose the prop card yourself and want to rest on me? Why don't you look for someone else? Come to me?"
He even shook his fingers and showed his muscles: "I'm not a bully. I would advise you to do this kind of framing and framing with someone else."
Sister Jiang was speechless for a moment.
The rest of the taskers on the scene looked at the two of them suspiciously.
They have to believe that the muscle man may be a card dealer, and they also have to believe that Sister Jiang may be a mad woman who planted others. Because no matter which is the truth, their interests may be harmed.
As a result, several taskers unanimously stepped back and returned the battlefield to the two men.
And the muscular man's eyes showed a triumphant expression.
He did steal Sister Jiang’s prop card, but Sister Jiang could not prove it. Because it is impossible for a muscular man to accept a body search-it is impossible for any task person to accept a body search.
Besides... The muscular man didn't even carry the two props he stole with him. He only brought the props cards he had originally carried, and the two stolen were placed in Room 408.
If the nightmare restarts, then these two props cards will naturally return to him; if they directly end the nightmare in the second round, it is better, he will directly return to the narrow building with the stolen goods.
This is the experience that a muscular man gained after being a card dealer for so long.
In this case, even if the card dealer is searched under the pressure of the owner, it is impossible to find the lost item card. What's even better is that now room 408 can't enter at all, even if you want to enter, only the fingerprints of the muscular man will be recognized.
The public key to the property
Then you have to search your body first to make sure that the item card is not on his body. Besides, he could completely restart the nightmare before opening the door.
All in all, the unexpected encounter between him and Sister Jiang in the last round of nightmares was really a happy event.
He had been eyeing these sisters a long time ago.
As a card dealer, he would go to the carnival party of those taskers to have fun from time to time. The sisters are also very famous characters in that place. After all, they are twins, very eye-catching.
The muscular man once heard that the sisters brag about how many item cards they have accumulated after being drunk. Naturally, his heart moved immediately, but unfortunately, at that time the sisters did not intend to return to their nightmare.
However, after the rumors that someone had left the narrow building came out, countless taskers who had been perished for a long time were all gearing up, and the muscular man didn't believe that the sisters were indifferent.
So, he kept staring at the sisters' house. Within a few days, after nightfall, the sisters went out. The muscular man followed and followed them into the nightmare of a certain narrow-building resident.
The muscular man had no intention of clearing the nightmare, he came to steal the item cards of the sisters... and he did not expect that his actions would be so smooth!
The muscular man could hardly control the smug expression on his face, his facial muscles twitched, showing a smile that was not a smile.
Sister Jiang squeezed her fists and said in a cold tone: "Let's go and see."
She really couldn't beat a muscular man. In addition, after the muscular man poured her a basin of dirty water, it was impossible for the rest of the taskers to stand on her side and jointly ask for a body search of the muscular man.
And Sister Jiang is not stupid, the lost prop card may not be carried by the muscular man at any time. If the body search is still not found, it will instantly make Sister Jiang’s victim status suspicious.
Therefore, it is better to take a step back now and wait until later to settle this matter slowly.
Sister Jiang stared at the muscular man, and slowly grinned with a grinning smile.
In the live broadcast room, after watching such a big show, the audience burst into tears: "Damn! Even games are so socially sinister!"
"I'm really convinced by this ability to tell lies with my eyes open."
"I feel sorry for my little sister."
"North, North, North, can't the item cards be bound?"
Xu Beijin answered this question: "No, narrow buildings are more... the real game world. The prop card is a small card that actually exists, and it may be stolen if you put it on your body."
"... I imagined that the rare item card that I had gotten through hard work was stolen, and the other side was still confident..."
"!!! I'm going to kill someone!"
"Damn, I want this thief to know what is truly sinister!!"
Xu Beijin was amused by the audience's barrage, but he immediately reduced his smile and looked at the screen of the live broadcast room with unhappy eyes, showing the muscular man with a proud face.
He thought, this trick of splashing dirty water is really familiar.
For Xu Beijin, he has almost forgotten, the guy who once said outside his house that he was an outsider. The guy didn't come to provoke him anymore, and he never encountered the taskers who were around the door of his house again.
Xu Beijin didn't care about some things in that period.
It was a crazy and chaotic period for both the residents of the narrow buildings and those on the task. Everyone wanted to rush to a higher floor, and everyone eagerly wanted to leave the narrow building.
Now... It's not like that anymore. Rather, the narrow building a few years ago seemed to have ignited a fire, but now the narrow building is the ashes after the fire burned.
People became desperate and silent. They are more like walking dead, and... more hopeless.
Therefore, Xu Beijin doesn't really recall the events of that period.
However, the direction of fate does not seem to be under his control. He saw Mu Jiashi again, and... saw this annoying guy again.
He actually became a card dealer. If you can, maybe...
Xu Beijin hugged his milk tea, thinking.
In the live broadcast room, several taskers finally started to discuss nightmare-related matters.
The atmosphere still looked a little weird. Sister Jiang and the muscular man were far apart, and the rest of the taskers were far apart from both of them.
Sister Jiang has calmed down, but she still doesn't want to have any contact with the muscular man. She turned to ask: "Sorry... You just said, did you find the check-in record?"
"Yes. The identities of some of us should be the new tenants." The lanky tasker replied, and handed her a file, "found in the property office, with seven names written on it."
Sister Jiang looked at the file and said casually, "You are moving fast."
The thin man smiled and didn't say much.
There are a total of five taskers present at the scene. In addition to the thin guy, Sister Jiang, and the muscular man who have been talking, there is also a teenage girl who looks like a teenager, and Shen Yunju, who had previously shown strange eyes at the business district.
The little girl and Shen Yunju remained silent, and watched the farce between Sister Jiang and the muscular man coldly.
Sister Jiang glanced at the thin man and the little girl, and then at Shen Yunju, without saying much. She looked down at these files carefully and confirmed that her sister's apartment room number was 1104.
By the way, she glanced at the room numbers of the other taskers, and suddenly said in surprise: "Ringo? That big guy...?"
"Yes." The thin man couldn't help expressing his joyful expression. "It would be great to have this big guy here."
Sister Jiang was silent. She only knew about Ringo's existence, and didn't know anything about Ringo's character and so on. She and Jiang Shuangmei mingled in the carnival night for a few years, just when Ringo's reputation rose to fame.
Ringo has indeed appeared in the narrow building for many years, but a few years ago, every tasker, even the actor, in the narrow building was crazy and radical.
Taskers will try various methods in the nightmare, even less decent methods, just to get a true ending. In that case, even if Ringo possesses a strong force value, he rarely gets the attention of others because of his habit of not making free shots.
And when the fire extinguished, the narrow building became a truly dilapidated game scene, and after humans lost their hope for the future, the appearance of Ringo became their life-saving straw.
For many taskers, the only pity was that Ringo only appeared on the ground floor of the narrow building. He has never been to a higher floor. Even if some of the nightmares he had been to had a true ending to the task force, he did not go to a higher floor.
In fact, there may not be some taskers in the higher floors who want to hug thighs...
In any case, Sister Jiang had heard of Ringo's name, and she was secretly relieved because of it.
"That, please..." When Sister Jiang looked at the pile of information, the thin man hesitated and asked, "Are you Sister Jiang or Sister Jiang?"
These two names are so obvious that it seems a bit strange whether it is regarded as not being seen or as ignoring the connection between the two names.
Sister Jiang replied: "I am my sister."
She looked strangely and anxiously in the direction of the elevator... Ten minutes had passed, but Jiang Shuangmei had not yet appeared.
Her gaze made the thin man ask thoughtfully: "Are you worried about your sister?"
Sister Jiang nodded calmly. She said, "I'm going to look for her." She hesitated for a moment and didn't tell the palpitations she felt during the last nightmare, but still said, "I am a little worried about her."
The muscular man on the side couldn't help saying: "You won't drag us along?"
After he succeeded, the original honesty and honesty that had been pretended to disappear instantly. This is his habitual method to reduce the vigilance of other taskers, looking for opportunities and targets to start.
However, in the last few seconds of the last nightmare, the timing was really good, so the muscular man didn't hold back, so he went straight to Sister Jiang's item card. If he follows his previous style, he will start when the nightmare is about to end.
By that time, even if the suffering master found that their prop card was missing, they had basically left the nightmare, and they could never find a muscle man again.
Because he has a trick card.
"Brand Name: The Devil's Mask
"Panel pattern: (a delicate and gorgeous mask)
"Interpretation: When a devil does evil, he always needs a mask to cover his appearance. You will have this ability. If it is used to do evil, then it is more in line with the devil's will. However, when using the devil's ability, there will always be Its price.
"Number of uses: 2/3 times. (If you do evil while using this item card and are not found, then the number of times you used will be automatically restored.)"
For card dealers... No, this is a powerful enough item card for anyone who wants to be a rapist in a narrow building.
But even with something like a trick card, it's not foolproof.
After he got this item card for the first time a few years ago, he hasn't figured out how to use it.
At that time, the taskers were beating up the once famous bookstore owner, so he thought about it, used this item card, and then went outside the bookstore owner's house to stir people's hearts.
This is also the reason why Xu Beijin never met this guy in the narrow building again. Because he changed his appearance, and he rarely showed his true colors.
Unfortunately, his first action was terminated by the bookstore owner who suddenly attacked him. As a result, the number of uses of "Devil's Mask" has also been reduced once.
After that, the muscular man became more honest.
But later he discovered a more suitable use, that is, to use this card to steal the item card.
As long as it is not discovered on the spot, and the stolen item card is not returned to the owner, even if his evil is successful this time, the number of times he has used it will be reset.
As for the so-called "cost"... The muscular man thought contemptuously, but it made him more greedy and bold. However, since he has decided to be a card dealer who everyone calls to beat him, the price is just what he will become.
At this moment, the muscular man was instigated by his greed, his eyes flickering at the tasker present. He thought boldly, maybe... This nightmare, can it succeed more than once
Even if other taskers have been wary of him, but... with his skills and acting skills, maybe...
Extreme greed and pride are constantly spreading in the heart of this tasker.
It was this backlog of emotions that made him unable to help tearing off the disguise he had always had, and ridiculing Sister Jiang. Otherwise, he might have to put on more pretensions for a while.
And Sister Jiang treated his words as deaf ears, but couldn't help thinking in her heart, it would be nice if Zhailou could kill each other. Unfortunately, the mastermind prohibits taskers from actively and directly killing teammates. Even if it is really killed, the next round of nightmares will be resurrected.
Thinking about it, a cold color flashed in Sister Jiang's eyes.
She didn't have the patience to talk to these guys any more, handed the information back to the thin man, and said lightly: "I'll just go find my sister by myself."
The thin man hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Let's go together."
The muscular man showed an expression of irritation, but then thoughtfully remembered something.
The silent girl suddenly took a step forward. Although her voice was immature, the coldness and self-confidence in her tone were impressive.
She said: "We have talked about it just now. At the end of the last nightmare, we were all dead. Although you didn't say anything," she nodded a little chin at Sister Jiang, "but looking at your expression, it should be Nothing happened. Then it could only be your sister."
She directly ignored Ringo's possibility. Could something happen to Ringo? impossible.
The thin man added: "We haven't got any information yet, so it would be great if we could know what happened to your sister."
He habitually glanced at the little girl beside him, then turned his head and looked at Sister Jiang.
Sister Jiang looked at them thoughtfully, then nodded: "Okay, let's come together."
Having said that, the three of them planned to take action.
The muscular man said quickly, "I'm not going. I plan to go to other places in the apartment building." He looked at the young man who had not spoken again, "How about you and me?"
Shen Yunju looked cold and indifferent. In the eyes of other taskers, this young man looked too cold and unkind.
After coming to the first floor of the apartment building to meet with others, he never said a word except for his personal information and the first round of nightmares.
He glanced at the muscular man.
The smile on the muscular man's face gradually disappeared, just as he was in cold sweat, thinking that his attempt was discovered by others, Shen Yunju nodded unexpectedly.
The muscular man immediately showed a happy expression.
His expression was too straightforward, and the thin man couldn't help but look at him strangely, and then at Shen Yunju. He hesitated for a moment, but still implicitly said: "Be careful."
The muscular man didn't think much, nodded and smiled and said, "We will."
Shen Yunju also nodded slightly.
Sister Jiang and the little girl completely ignored the interaction of the three of them, and went straight to wait for the elevator, intending to go directly to the 11th floor. And the thin man followed them anxiously.
He realized that in this nightmare, the difficulties they encountered were not just the nightmare itself.
In the live broadcast room, the audience sighed regretfully: "Oh, they're done. Why don't you come to the commercial district?"
"I'm exploring in the apartment building now, I'm afraid it's not the speed of life and death."
"Look at what this game is called, and then you can answer this question."
"Okay, it seems that they are in line with the essence of this game: "Escape" was born."
"Actually, it's the same when you come to the commercial area? Maybe the refined appliances here are even more dangerous."
"But there is a safe house here!"
"Then they have to find it!"
"? It's you the bar master in the live broadcast."
"Beibei, what are you thinking? I haven't spoken for a long time."
Xu Beijin was holding the milk tea, blankly in a daze.
In fact, the audience in the live broadcast room has become accustomed to the quietness and reticence of their anchors. Xu Beijin is often in a trance, but he can't say whether he is thinking or just being in a daze because of sleepiness.
His sense of participation has never been strong, and he is somewhat alienated from the audience and the task force. Of course, he will not reject the various proposals of the audience.
It's just... When he was in a daze, he always made the audience involuntarily focus on him.
Xu Beijin suddenly returned to his senses when his consciousness was empty, and saw the audience's questions in the live broadcast room. He hesitated for a moment, and did not say his guess about the muscle man, after all, there was no clear evidence for that.
He turned to say, "I was thinking, where is the owner of the nightmare."
"!!! Yeah, I haven't seen the owner of the nightmare yet."
"Are you hiding somewhere like the little boy before?"
"But, there are so many scenes in this nightmare, how can I find it?"
"I have an idea. If the danger of this nightmare comes from the refined electrical appliances, then the owner of the nightmare must be afraid of these things too? Will he hide in a place without electrical appliances?"
Xu Bei thoughtfully said: "... safe house?"
"Yes!"
"It makes sense!"
"Wow, the reasoning guy is not there, everyone is the reasoning guy."
"Hahahaha I've been awarded, it's just a flash of inspiration. If you ask me to reason, then I will be swollen."
Xu Beijin ignored the audience's teasing. He subconsciously sat up straight and said to himself: "Business district and apartment building, where should he be...? There is a safe house in the business district... No, he should be an apartment. The residents of the building..."
Inferring the identity of the owner of the nightmare always needs to be combined with the nightmare scene.
The doll shop appeared in the first nightmare, so the owner of the nightmare must be related to the doll shop. The owner of the second nightmare is just a little boy, but the dark bedroom can hint at anything related to the family.
In this nightmare, commercial districts and apartment buildings appeared. The master of the nightmare must be related to these two scenes.
He may be a resident in an apartment building, or a merchant in a commercial area.
He may also be the property manager of the apartment building, but this possibility is relatively small, because the taskers first appeared in the apartment after entering the nightmare.
Apartment buildings, plus commercial areas...
A picture appeared in Xu Beijin's mind, that is, the owner of the nightmare, after discovering a problem with the electrical appliances in his apartment, hurriedly fled to the nearby business district, but encountered the same trouble in the business district.
This is the simplest association.
Of course, there are also some arbitrary associations. For example, the owner of the nightmare is a takeaway boy who delivers the takeaway from the business district to the apartment building. In the process, he encountered various terrible incidents of electrical appliances becoming refined.
In any case, the question seemed unanswered until the owner of the nightmare was found.
Chengjing's electrical appliances... Rocco Apartments...
Xu Bei looked at the footage in the live broadcast room as deeply as possible. He thought, what does this mean
This may mean something that made him feel deeply desperate.
At this time, the audience in the live room exclaimed: "They are on the eleventh floor!"
The taskers came to the eleventh floor, outside the door of 1104.
They knocked on the door for a while, but no one answered. But inside the door was quiet and could not hear anything. Sister Jiang felt a little discomfort again, as if someone was staring at her back.
… After coming to this nightmare, this situation happened countless times, and Sister Jiang almost became numb. She wondered what happened, what happened in this apartment building.
She took a deep breath, knocked on the door again, and shouted: "Shuangshuang! I'm my sister! Are you in there?!"
Still no one answered.
The thin man said awkwardly, "Will she... has left the apartment? Then we just missed it?"
This is very possible. After all, there are six elevators on the first floor, and they are not sure whether Jiang Shuangmei will take another elevator and leave. The most embarrassing situation is that they came up while Shuangmei Jiang went down.
The little girl said nonchalantly, "Just go and see the elevator."
They walked to the elevator room to check the operation of the elevator. There are a total of six elevators. Except for the one they came up, it stopped on the eleventh floor, one was on the eighth floor, and the other four were all on the first floor.
The elevator on the eighth floor is still slowly moving up.
"What's the matter?" The thin man murmured, "Who is coming up?"
They waited. Maybe it was Shuangmei Jiang in that elevator, maybe it was Ringo, or maybe it was the muscular man and Shen Yunju who acted together.
Ten seconds of time seems like every second is like a year.
Finally, the elevator clinked and came to the eleventh floor. The elevator doors opened slowly.
The three taskers looked into the elevator at the same time.
… There is no one in the elevator!
