Fourteen seconds.
Bai Wu tiptoed to open the drawer and saw the knife.
A knife with no lethality at all. If you want to kill someone with it, you might as well pray that your fist can kill the person directly.
A prop knife
A toy that is not even a decoration... but this option appears...
Bai Wu understood a little.
"At least it instantly eliminates the option of holding a knife."
After eleven seconds, Bai Wu quietly restored everything and checked the window, which was indeed open.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind.
"The room is on the second floor, so jumping down won't kill you, but if this is a hospital, this behavior will definitely attract more attention..."
"Also, in a previous tip, someone told me not to open the door if there's rust on the door handle. So this person chose to open the door."
Bai Wu noticed at the beginning that there were indeed signs of rust on the door handle.
"The person who left this message chose to open the door, which led to his death..."
"And the person outside the door deliberately left a non-lethal knife, obviously knowing my choice..."
"So, if you open the door, you will die? Then it is basically certain that the other party has malicious intentions."
"You give your prey a knife, but it's a prop knife that has no lethality. Do you want to enjoy the prey's desperate look when it finds out that the knife has no effect at all?"
"The other party's footsteps were very orderly, and his mentality was in a calm state of mind like a hunter... Considering that the owner of the area was described as crazy, he might be some kind of psychopath..."
"Besides, the door handle is rusted, so it's possible to forcefully open the door. Since the other party is so calm, he must be sure that I'm inside. If I play dead... it's useless."
“Knowing that the biggest cost of making the wrong choice is death, this choice will inherently put people in fear, and all participants will feel fear.”
"The person outside the door left this knife and used a rusty door handle, which showed that he wanted to amplify this fear and create an unsolvable situation."
Seven seconds.
Bai Wu stood at the window, observing other rooms and found that many people were wearing white hospital gowns.
"There are two options for not opening the door. One is to hold your breath and pretend that the other person is not there, and the other is to ask who the other person is."
"Holding my breath is obviously incorrect... because it means I am aware of my danger, I am already in a state of fear, trying to defend myself."
After six seconds, Bai Wu chose the last option.
You have made your choice, please act accordingly. Otherwise, it will be considered as a violation of the rules and you will be eliminated directly.
Bai Wu curled his lips. It was worthy of being a red zone. Although he had become strong enough, a place that became a red zone purely by the rules was still very dangerous.
This prompt means that there is no free choice. If you make a choice, you must execute it according to your choice.
It’s like I can speak now, but I can’t say anything else… I can only ask who the other person is.
This is different from the exploration of the Heart of Well Four and the exploration of Violet Manor.
It's also a survival game, but with much less freedom.
But it's not that there is no freedom at all... Bai Wu thought, after all, there are no restrictions on the tone of questioning, the words and sentences used.
And before the choice comes, it seems that everyone can move freely.
These are areas where there is room for improvement.
"Excuse me... who are you?" Bai Wu's tone was wary, confused, and fearful.
But all these were natural emotions; he was not capable of fear.
The person outside the door said:
"It's okay, just be here. I just came to tell you not to wander around."
The voice was low and contained some disappointment.
Bai Wu could basically judge that this person was exactly as he had imagined...
This is a person who enjoys the fear of his prey. If the prey is not fearful enough, for this person, it is like a steak that is only medium-rare, which still needs some more cooking.
At this time, the number of survivors became 26.
That is to say, in the first round of selection, nearly three-quarters of the one hundred people were directly eliminated.
Bai Wu was not surprised, this choice was indeed fraught with danger. Some games are very simple at the beginning and gradually become difficult.
Some games take a different approach, where after the novice tutorial... or more precisely, after the rules of the game are explained, they directly arrange boss-level training.
But it becomes simpler later.
Bai Wu still didn't know what the situation was with the tower, but being able to have 26 people survive was already considered... a relatively lucky start.
Bai Wu didn't have the time to commemorate the seventy-four people who died.
He had already entered the state, possessed by the spirit of drama, and his voice was a little dazed:
"Can you tell me where this is? How did I suddenly appear here?"
It was as if he didn't know about the Magic Tower Challenge game and was just a passerby who was dragged in innocently.
"Haha, observe carefully and you will get the answer, but I don't recommend you to come out. You can observe carefully in the house."
You triggered a different choice. After hearing what the other party said, you decided:
A: Listen to the advice, eat a full meal, and observe carefully.
B: Keep asking him about this place.
C: Don’t listen to him and just open the door.
D: Agree first and then find the opportunity to open the door.
E: Observe him through the cat's eye and observe the situation outside.
This time, Bai Wu did not hesitate and chose D.
Because he had confirmed through the Eye of Prell that there was no secret passage in this house.
At the same time, the plot cannot advance without leaving here.
Bai Wu didn't want to waste time in this place. With the Eye of Prell, he could discover the secrets of a place in the shortest time.
Opening the door directly would be tantamount to seeking death, which would be a waste of the first option.
But this place is not worth observing. The longer you observe, the more frightened you will feel, and slowly you will realize your situation.
Of course, the white fog is not afraid, but being trapped here and wasting time will only increase the probability of death.
Continuing to ask will be fruitless, because the other party's tone clearly shows that he is unwilling to talk more. Don't try to conquer a madman with words, especially when the other party's core needs are not clear.
As for looking through the cat's eye - I'm afraid it would be terrifying.
So agree to it first, and then wait for the opportunity to open the door. This is the most free option.
Bai Wu still had a somewhat dazed tone:
"Oh... where am I?"
This sounded like a question, but also like a soliloquy caused by being too confused. The person outside the door sneered and went to the next room.
Number of survivors - 26.
This time no one died.
Bai Wu speculated that no one would be stupid enough to choose to open the door directly, and he did not rule out the possibility that other participants were not in the same exploration story as himself.
As for the other options, staying in the house and observing, and waiting for the opportunity to escape, there will be a certain delay in what will happen.
So people don’t die immediately.
"The people I saw in the other wards, are they challengers... or NPCs?"
The eyes did not give the answer. When the white fog stared at the house opposite through the window, the eyes only gave information about the window opposite.
"It's also possible that they don't exist... Most likely they are NPCs. But I seem to have overlooked one point... In the previous quotes from the dead, it seemed that it mentioned that the games everyone was participating in might be different."
"Well, so those who are still alive may have made some wrong choices, or the choices have not come yet... Anyway, these remaining 25 people... have nothing to do with me. I can only wish them good luck."
Bai Wu began to wait patiently.
Time passed little by little, Bai Wu listened to the footsteps fading away, and then fell into silence without taking any action.
He is waiting.
It was not until he heard some wailing that Bai Wu cautiously opened the door.
Open it, it won't trigger anything, I promise.
The note of the Eye of Prell was there when the white fog first came in. It's just that the door handle is rusted, so there will be some noise, and the heart-wrenching wailing will cover up this sound.
After opening the corridor, the smell of disinfectant became stronger.
Bai Wu was not unfamiliar with the scene outside. He had experienced such scenes in hospitals many times.
I quickly filled in the structure through observation.
Just at this moment, a door opposite suddenly opened.
A woman who looked like a nurse suddenly appeared from the room opposite the white fog.
She stumbled along, with pain and confusion in her eyes. She saw the white fog, and the white fog also saw her.
Then, the nurse fell to the ground, staring at the white mist with wide eyes, as if asking for help.
Bai Wu's gaze fell on the door behind the nurse. After the door was opened, it was ajar.
Bai Wu had a premonition that the choice was about to appear.
Sure enough, at this moment, a note popped up, and soon after, the notes turned into two.
A strange nurse appears in front of you, and your escape is instantly discovered, but she seems to be an employee of the hospital and should know some inside information.
She seemed to want to escape, too. Do you think you could—
A: Go up to him and ask what's going on, and try to find an escape route.
B: Pretend not to see it.
C: Silencing the nurse and dragging her into the room behind her.
D: Silence the nurse.
E: Knock her out, then continue exploring.
F: Leave with the nurse.
G: She's very beautiful, you can go up and unlock the paid content.
Among these options, there is one that seems outrageous.
Sure enough, the notes soon split apart.
G: She is very beautiful. You can go up and unlock the paid content. This option is exclusively sponsored by the matchmaker Ayan - no way.
In this scene, when no choices appear, you can move freely, but after choices appear, you cannot take any action other than those made.
Besides, she was not clean.
Select countdown, fifteen seconds.
Many thoughts flashed through Bai Wu's mind, and various information began to combine.
"From the look on her face, which showed only pain but no fear, she is not of the same kind as me. Asking her to go with me would be very risky."
"Although I avoided the person knocking on the door, I have to consider that he also has follow-up measures. The timing of this nurse's appearance is too coincidental."
"Pretend you didn't see it? Although she seemed to have fallen to the ground, she was still conscious."
"Kill her? It's not impossible, but won't it leave too many clues and traces?"
"And according to the setting, there must be a certain gap in martial arts between me and the person knocking on the door. Before my fighting power is improved, I should try to keep a low profile."
"What does it mean that you mentioned that the nurse is unclean? She doesn't look like she's pretending to be in pain. Is she sick?"
"It's normal for this kind of thing to happen in a hospital, but this scene is obviously not a simple hospital. I'm probably playing some kind of experimental subject..."
"It seems that the room behind the nurse is very strange, but should I go there? Curiosity kills the cat. Not every box can be touched."
Bai Wu's eyes fell on the room, and his comments were almost the same as his thoughts:
You know, of course, that when a person comes out of a room in pain, that room is most likely the source of her pain. Are you a masochist? Am I a masochist? Since neither of us is, it's better for us not to go in.
But as an all-knowing eye, I can tell you that there is a "virus" hidden in this room, so please keep in mind the rules of this area.
The remarks answered Bai Wu's question.
"There is a virus in the room. The nurse is obviously infected. If I enter the room, I will most likely be infected as well."
"In addition, the rules of the area are that my choices in the magic tower may affect the outside..."
“Does this mean that the virus in this scene could potentially flow into reality? If so, I must find the virus and find a way to stop it from spreading.”
There was more and more information. After sorting out all the above information, Bai Wu quickly made a choice -
E: Knock her out, then continue exploring.
According to the rules, Bai Wu must knock out the nurse, which is not difficult and does not require any skills or room for maneuver.
Bai Wu has no feelings towards this kind of "NPC".
He kicked the pretty nurse in the head. The nurse groaned and passed out.
Bai Wu held his breath and prepared to leave the place quickly, but at this time, the key on the nurse's waist caught Bai Wu's attention.
After making the choice, I finally found the cause and effect of the previous choice. If you take the nurse with you, you will be betrayed by the nurse. If you kill the nurse, the fear of death will stimulate the virus in her body, and she will chase you madly.
Entering that room is even more terrifying. Fortunately, you made the right choice, and there is a reward for making the right choice. This bunch of keys is, from now on, you can open the door of any room, but there is a limit on the number of times you can use it. One key will be consumed at a time. In addition, under the corresponding rules, this key is very useful.
If you choose the wrong one, you will die, but the higher the risk, the higher the profit.
According to the rules of the area, the virus here may affect reality, so this bunch of keys... can also open the door of any room in reality.
It's not just the world outside the fog, the twisted area outside the tower is the same. As long as you have enough clues, you may not need a key.
Bai Wu took the key and began to explore places such as the "forbidden area".
A few multiple-choice questions gave him a basic understanding of the challenge.
"No one in this world knows about the existence of the Eye of Prell, which is my biggest advantage... The King of Clubs is indeed powerful, but he didn't expect this."
"This place looks like a survival game..."
"But as long as I make a calm judgment and cooperate with the information from the Eye of Prell, this place... may be able to provide me with great help."
(After going out for a walk and coming back, I found that I was not so stuck anymore... It hurts)
