Tang Xinjue originally thought that in this dungeon, her emotions would not have any more ups and downs.
But at the moment when Guo Guo's eyes were gouged out, a killing intent rushed to her heart, and she finally understood the reason for Zheng Wanqing's anger.
The chain reaction triggered by Mr. Bu may have been an unintentional mistake, but the hallucinatory trap Guo Guo encountered was not the chaotic maliciousness in the food court at all... but a ghost with a clear goal and a well-prepared approach!
Zheng Wanqing gritted her teeth and wiped the blood off her face: "I remember the direction in which she was taken away, but the streets here will move and change positions by themselves."
Her intuition told her that it was the ghosts of these food stalls. So she could only keep destroying the corners of these stalls along the way to ensure that it would neither need to lose money nor lose its confusing effect.
With the confluence of Tang Xinjue, this difficulty finally disappeared. Needless to say, the two continued to walk along the shortcut method given by Mr. Bu, and soon saw another figure.
Ten steps away, Zhang You turned his head sharply at the same time and found the two of them.
"I need to confirm your identities."
Zhang You didn't rush over immediately, but stood still and spoke calmly.
No one raised any objections, Tang Xinjue released his mental power without saying a word, and pulled Zhang You into 606's brain chat group.
Feeling the familiar power, Zhang You's serious expression relaxed slightly, and she also pulled out her magic ledger, but what she showed was not the skill card embedded in it, but the densely packed handwriting on the paper:
"On September 11th, the dormitory food expenditure was... 15% of which was loss. The reason for the loss: Tang Xinjue forced to make spicy chicken feet mixed with yogurt, and the ingredients were boycotted and discarded..."
Tang Xinjue: "...you don't need to look any further, I can confirm your identity now."
Zhang You nodded concisely, but continued to speak: "But your proof is not enough."
Zheng Wanqing couldn't believe it: "Is my proof not enough?"
Could her metal arm still be impersonated
Suddenly, she realized something: "Did you also see..."
Zhang You's eyes moved slightly, and he took the second half of the sentence: "That illusion that took Guo Guo away, yes, you also saw it?"
In that phantom, there were exactly the same "three people" of them, not only perfectly concealing the ghostly aura, but also their voices, appearances and actions were almost indistinguishable from real people.
Even she couldn't guarantee that if she stood in Guo Guo's position, would she be able to tell the truth from the truth
Now is not the time to explain in detail, Tang Xinjue pulled out the toilet, and knocked the plastic-like pole on the countertop of the booth, but there was a crisp sound of metal clashing, and the fog that condensed on the booth quickly dissipated, and the surrounding air was One Su.
The toilet bowl didn't seem to like these exquisite foods, and spit out a stream of clear water in dissatisfaction. Where the water splashed, even the pieces of meat on the plate were covered with black spots.
At this point, Zhang You nodded deeply and let go of all guards, showing a trace of fatigue: "Have you found Guo Guo's location?"
Tang Xinjue felt the empty corner of the spiritual connection: "Not yet, but I think she should not be far away."
The desire in the bottom of the heart is unlimited, but the memory area of the casino is limited.
Since they came in, they have measured the food street with the longest distance by footsteps, mainly by constantly changing the internal structure to give people an illusion of endlessness.
When this change is deciphered, most of the obstacles attached to it will also be broken by themselves. The further the three of them walked, the clearer and more normal the air became.
In the status bar of the APP, only Guo Guo's health bar is still declining, as if he is experiencing a fierce and long struggle, and is gradually approaching the red danger zone.
Zheng Wanqing suddenly said, "I think I heard Guo Guo's voice!"
She quickly stretched out her finger and pointed in one direction, ready to enter the battle in the next second.
But Tang Xinjue looked along it but saw nothing, and no sound came from his ears.
The same is true for Zhang You. She frowned and confirmed, "What did you hear?"
"Crying for help, still calling our names..." Zheng Wanqing replied subconsciously, and immediately realized that the possibility of it being true was not high.
Unless she has some special connection with Guo Guo, it is impossible to capture the other's existence faster than Tang Xinjue.
Zhang You was not surprised. In fact, the number of times she was tried to be deceived by ghosts and phantoms in all the previous dungeons was not as many as it appeared in the five minutes just now.
That's why, she had to be vigilant to the two Tang Xinjue who met to verify repeatedly.
"Don't be too anxious, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to lose your mind." Zhang You took out a skill card and shot it into the air. The anxious and chaotic feeling in the minds of the three of them immediately dissipated a lot, and their thinking became calmer.
Tang Xinjue looked ahead, and the exit could be faintly seen in the narrow street, but their last roommate was still missing.
"My mental power still can't detect the location of Guoguo. Maybe at this point, our five senses alone won't work anymore."
She wakes up the phone screen again: "When manpower is insufficient, you can only look at the power of [technology]."
Since they climbed down the manhole cover to enter the casino, the "signal" of the mobile phone has plummeted. After walking away in the food street, it fell to the bottom of the valley for a while, and the communication phone in the dormitory was naturally unable to be dialed.
But it's not set in stone either.
"Now the three of us meet, and the signal between each other has recovered to the extent that we can dial, which means that it is closely related to the distance."
Tang Xinjue used the most basic method to lift the mobile phones high, and then gradually moved them closer to the ground. You could see the signal bar slowly advancing one bar from low to high.
"If the signal is correct, Guoguo's position should be lower than ours."
Zheng Wanqing's first reaction was to lift the pavement: "Is she hidden under the table?"
Slap. Tang Xinjue pressed the phone flat on the ground.
At the same time, the signal below [Contact Guo Guo] also reached the highest point along the way.
"No, lower than that."
Three minutes later, they stopped between the two stalls, pushed aside the dense weeds, and a round manhole cover appeared in front of the three of them.
The moment the manhole cover was lifted, the dial key lit up.
The wait for the connection was very long, so the three decided to let Zhang You wait outside the well, while Tang Xinjue and Zheng Wanqing went into the well first, climbing down the dark corridor, looking for traces of Guo Guo.
About ten meters down, there was a ding sound from the other end of the phone, and the call was connected.
"Heart Jue..." Guo Guo's weak voice came intermittently, as if he was barely maintaining his consciousness: "No, don't come here, you guys leave first, this is a trap..."
Before the voice finished, the communication was cut off suddenly. Guo Guo's eager words and exclamations stopped abruptly at the other end.
But at the same moment, Tang Xinjue's spiritual power also captured the opposite party across the thin signal, and took the other party's consciousness into his arms.
"It's okay, we found you."
They had long guessed that the scene of Guo Guo being attacked by the phantom might also be the bait left by the attacker for the three of them.
Otherwise, how could Zhang You and Zheng Wanqing have seen this scene at the same time in the confusing food street
No matter who the ghost behind it is, its or their purpose is very clear, which is to attract all 606 to them, and then catch them all.
Guo Guo's consciousness awakened in the spiritual link, confirming their guess.
"They used a horrible illusion to control me, and then they seemed to take something from my body, and I couldn't use any powers and props anymore... Now I'm tied up in a, a very small room …”
Because she was too weak, Guo Guo's thoughts were still a little chaotic. She struggled to find words: "Just, the place where Harry Potter lived when he was a child, do you remember..."
Tang Xinjue: "The storage room under the stairs?"
"Yeah, that's right here, and there are a lot of spiders on top of my head, and they're crawling around, no, wait, these aren't spiders...someone is coming!"
In an instant, extreme fear was transmitted to Tang and Zheng's senses through the spiritual link, and their hearts trembled. Zheng Wanqing was about to attack the well wall directly, but was stopped by Tang Xinjue:
"Guo Guo is not afraid psychologically, it should be her physical reaction, the ghost suppressed her ability."
The current Guo Guo should be like the state they were in when they were ordinary college students before the game came. Even if he was mentally prepared, in that situation, anyone who faced the ghosts in the university town would be forced to feel the terrifying oppression of life instinct due to the huge difference in species.
They continued to descend, and the connection with Guo Guo's consciousness became more and more clear, guiding them from afar.
After a while, in the sea of consciousness, Guo Guo's voice sounded again, but it sounded weaker:
"Great, great, this time I finally know what they were doing just now."
It turned out that since she was kidnapped, her memory has been in an intermittent state. Every time she had a direct contact with the ghost, she would lose her memory. She didn't know what the ghost had done, and she couldn't tell Tang Xinjue and the others.
But this time, her tone was full of gratitude: "Because this time, they took away my two arms."
No matter how fragmented her memory was, when she saw her arm disappear in the air, it was impossible not to realize what happened.
"Although I don't know what they are used for, there is a high probability that they are going to be eaten. By the way, God, can you locate the position of my limbs, so that I may be able to avoid their trajectory... Xin Jue? Wan Qing ?”
There was a moment of silence on the spiritual communication side, and Tang Xinjue was almost eerily calm when she spoke again: "It's okay, I just asked Wan Qing to calm down."
"...Then, Jue Shen, do you want to calm down? I'm actually fine. I don't feel any pain other than feeling light weight..."
Guo Guo was so shuddered by the murderous intent in the other party's voice, for some reason, the feeling Tang Xinjue gave her at this moment suddenly overlapped with the moment when the ghost attacked, and even accidentally stimulated a trace of her memory:
"Ah! Wait a minute, I remembered, the one who took my arm was a two-meter-tall man, no, a male ghost. Its legs are very long, but its head is the head of an old man, without arms yet!! "
"Thanks, I think I saw it too."
Supporting the walls on both sides, Tang Xinjue landed silently. Behind a translucent glass door in front of her, a deformed figure that fully fit Guo Guo's description was standing in front of the door, staring straight at her with cloudy and hazy eyeballs.
