After Luo resolved the unexpected harassment, Xiao Lan withdrew her attention and stretched out the door of the control room in front of her.
When the flashlight entered the room, Xiao Lan almost thought that she was facing nothingness.
The entire control room was dark from ceiling to wall, and there was almost nothing that could reflect light. He stretched out his hand and touched the wall next to the door and touched the black ash on his hand.
"This black and gray is..." Xiao Lan twisted his fingertips. This familiar touch was the kind of black and gray that I had previously found on the train schedule behind the poster and the bulletin board.
"I've seen it before, not only the posters and timetables, but also the same black and gray on the clean clothes." Luo affirmed his guess.
Xiao Lan swept around with a flashlight, and the entire control room was covered with such black and gray.
It's almost like being burned by a fire.
At this time, Xiao Lan remembered the newspaper clippings she had seen on the train before-"There was an explosion accident on a subway platform in this city. There were three explosions in a row within 15 minutes, and the accident also caused a big fire."
This is probably what happened after the fire caused by the accident
He was still wondering if the platforms and trains would release false news. In fact, there was no accident at all, it was just that they were making suspicions. As a result, I now see this hidden control room full of burning traces.
Does this mean that the newspaper clipping on the subway is true
Xiao Lan walked toward the room. There was also a thick layer of ashes on the floor of the control room, which was also mixed with a lot of carbonized or melted residues. The indoor air that had been closed for too long was very dirty with a little bit of it. A burnt smell that lasts for years.
Luo fixed the door behind him, on the one hand to allow air to circulate, and to avoid injury to his fragile human owner despite his strength, and on the one hand to prevent the sudden crisis of closing the door.
Not far away, Xiao Lan found a row of computer-like debris. Although it had been smoked to darkness, it had not been burnt too clean, and it still retained a little of its original appearance.
Under the reflection of the flashlight, he found that the monitors of these computers were very thin, at least LCDs, and the computers in the 1990s were still the same heavy and large CRT monitors as before.
Xiao Lan looked at the monitors: "These are obviously not from the 90s."
There were even some scorched squares on the ground, which seemed to be smartphones.
"Sir, there's something here." On the other side, Lillo in the corner of the wall also found something stained with black and gray.
After wiping a bit, Luo handed the thing to Xiao Lan.
They discovered that this was a souvenir for the opening ceremony of the station. Although part of it was melted by the fire, the writing on it was still there. The date indicated that the station was opened to traffic in the 1990s, but this souvenir was also made recently.
Xiao Lan frowned: "The previous clues clearly show that the train accident was in the 1990s, but we found a very recent magazine on the train, and this seemingly old station also hides current things. ."
Luo: "Perhaps, this station just looks old. It is not actually in the 90s, but at the time of the bombing."
That's why they can see the automatic swiping gate, because it is basically a current station!
Why does this station always pretend to be in the 90s? Various clues have to be revealed to confuse the player.
Think of the newspaper about the train accident, the station's radio telling them not to get on the train, and the ghosts that appeared to remind them that the train is dangerous and cannot go.
Could it be that... the ghosts on the station have always maintained their appearance in the 90s, in order to make the newspaper of the train accident more credible, so that the player believes that the train is the more dangerous side.
The train had an accident, but it was not at the time they were at. Now the ghosts are actually killed by the explosion of the station. The ghosts on the platform have been trying to keep the player in the station for some reason.
In fact, the train accident has been a long time ago, and the platform explosion is the real background of this game.
The platform where the explosion occurred is the real danger!
The black and gray that they can always see in the details before actually reminds this.
The two looked at each other and figured this out at the same time.
Xiao Lan said softly: "The real way to clear customs is to choose the train side."
Perhaps the truth is that some of the ghosts after the explosion wanted to leave the station, but some were unable to leave, even obstructing the train and the space, preventing them from leaving this space. At the same time, the ghosts at the station also created the illusion of the 90s to mislead the players, so that the players should not choose the train side.
"But it's not right... We got on the train at the beginning, but couldn't leave this cycle." Xiao Lan was lost in thought, "After we got the ticket, we still couldn't leave. There must be something missing."
Xiao Lan took the black and white ticket from Luo and weighed it in her hand.
The white ticket was found on the platform, and the platform NPCs they saw also held this, but there is no guarantee that they are all white tickets.
The white ticket also coincides with the color of the exit gate of the platform, and should correspond to the exit.
The black ticket was found on the train. The black color reminds Xiao Lan of the man in black who has only one side, think about the clothes he wears, which looks like a certain uniform, and his strength that makes people feel dangerous. The person on the train must be a man. Very important location.
The black ticket is also the same color as his, corresponding to getting on the bus.
Xiao Lan thought of the task he had received—[Passing Thoughts]. Since it was a critical task, perhaps the last doubt could only be answered by it.
Now their goal is to find the brooch mentioned in the mission and find another black ticket.
Xiao Lan raised her head from thinking, and met Luo's eyes.
When he was thinking before, Luo kept quiet and looked around without interrupting his thoughts. Seeing Xiao Lan's recovery, Luo Cai stretched out his hand and pointed to another corner of the room: "There are a lot of corpses piled up there, among them are our acquaintances."
acquaintance? Xiao Lan stepped forward with some doubts.
When he approached, he discovered that there were a lot of corpses piled up here.
Some have been scorched to black, some seem to have been choked to death by the smoke, and the bodies are still intact. They probably did not die in the same place, but were transported here after death. These corpses are layered on top of each other, and the picture makes the scalp numb.
Looking along Luo's fingertips, he saw a corpse.
It was indeed an acquaintance. Wearing a cleaning uniform, the body was still intact, but two fingers were missing. Except for the current style of the cleaning uniform, it was exactly the same as the one they saw at the door of the toilet.
Seeing this corpse, Xiao Lan was even more sure that these people died in the explosion accident on the platform. All their clothes were of the current style. The style of the 1990s was just a disguise.
Oh, a group of movie kings.
There was a small closed door behind the corpses. Because of the urine nature of these guys who like to hide key clues, Xiao Lan always felt that there must be something hidden behind the door.
However, it is disgusting to pass through the gap between the dead bodies in this place.
The two struggled to find a place to stay, and finally arrived in front of the closed small door.
Xiao Lan put away the wire: "It seems that there is no way to pick the lock."
Luo Zheng was about to ask him if he needed help, when Xiao Lan reached out and grabbed the doorknob.
Then he unloaded the entire door lock directly and neatly. After the crisp sound, the hard handle was picked up by one of his hands like a poor little chicken at the moment, and he threw it aside.
Luo: "..."
Well, sometimes the husband really makes him feel that he has a lot of existence, it seems that his biggest function is only to chat with him
Luo suddenly felt that he was about to lose his job.
Behind the door is a small office, still darkened, and it is impossible to see what it was originally intended for.
There was only one corpse in the entire office, lying on the ground with his back to the door. The clothes she wears are familiar. It is the woman in the previous photo in the wallet.
Xiao Lan walked to her front and found that she was a very beautiful woman with delicate facial features and smooth hair. Her death was not tragic, but looked very peaceful. She seemed to be asleep. This dark-burnt room is out of place.
The brooch I've seen in the photo is staying quietly on her chest.
Xiao Lan cautiously squatted down, trying to stretch out her hand towards her chest, and at the same time be careful to watch out for possible changes in the corpse. After all, it is not only a deadly corpse that is dangerous in the world.
Unexpectedly, the process of removing the brooch unexpectedly went smoothly.
When Xiao Lan completely removed the brooch, a new system prompt appeared:
【Have obtained the brooch (1/1)】
[Return the brooch to the police after obtaining the brooch (unfinished)]
"Guardian? Is it the man in black?" Xiao Lan thought of him first, "He and this woman should be lovers, and then they died in a platform explosion accident, but I don’t know why they were. One is in the car and the other is hidden in the control room on the platform."
At the same time, Xiao Lan also had some doubts: "Looking at the texture of the wallet and the look of the brooch, this man in black has a rich family background, and his original job should not be a police officer."
Luo: "Being in the world may give him a new identity. The identity of the ghosts in the game is not static."
The powerful policeman has to release a task for the player to find his lover's brooch, which explains the fact that he can't leave the train at all. The ghosts on the platform hid the body of his lover, and if he can't get together with his lover, he won't help the train to leave the station.
Xiao Lan thought, maybe this is why the train could not leave.
At this time, the woman's body dissipated, just as beautiful as she was when she died, and the scene when she disappeared is still beautiful, like a firefly in the night.
The fluorescence was floating in the air, and finally merged into the brooch in Xiao Lan's hand.
When she disappeared completely, a black ticket appeared where the original body was.
Luo stepped forward and picked up the ticket on the ground. It was exactly the same as the one they had found in the train before. He smiled at Xiao Lan: "We have all the tickets, sir."
Since you have to pretend to be a player, this kind of situation requires key items to pass the level, of course, it is safer to be one person one by one. Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous for a group of players to suddenly mix in a guy who can pass the level without any props.
"Let's go, now our goal is to return to the train to deliver the task." Xiao Lan said.
—
The two stepped out of the control room.
At the same time, they sensed something wrong around them, as if they had peeled off their camouflage. The old but intact pillars began to collapse, the ceilings began to fall down overwhelmed, and even cracks appeared on the ground.
Pieces of black spots began to appear on the neat walls, and the black spots were full of burn marks, even with a little spark.
Because of these sparks, some light appeared on the originally dark platform. Although it was still not bright, it was much better than the original range where only the flashlight light could be seen.
With these lights, Xiao Lan found that the entire range of sight was undergoing such changes.
At the same time, there was also a burnt breath in the air, which smelled a bit pungent and tended to become more and more intense.
"Cough... This may be what the station really looks like." Xiao Lan coughed dryly, feeling a little uncomfortable in her throat, breathing a little bit, and the oxygen in the air seemed to be decreasing.
It seems that we must speed up and leave here.
"Humhhhh—"
At this time, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps in front of him.
Xiao Lan looked up and saw a distorted figure rushing towards them. The limbs of the man showed an unnatural posture, but the speed of running was surprisingly fast.
He stepped on the flames and rushed out of the darkness, looking like a demon.
Xiao Lan raised his hand from the storage space and took out [This is a poisonous dagger] and placed it in front of him. He adjusted his posture and leaned slightly, putting him in the best posture that he could attack at any time.
At the same time, I have prepared [Introduction to the Basic Principles of Marxist Philosophy], so that no matter whether this guy is an entity or a soul, he can fight the opponent.
When the opponent ran closer, Xiao Lan could clearly see that his face was decayed, and a large piece of skin had peeled off, exposing the muscles and teeth below, making him look very hideous.
His turbid eyes lingered around the two of them, and then he seemed to think Xiao Lan was more delicious, so he smiled maliciously at Xiao Lan, and then opened his mouth to an incredible angle. It's all crisscrossed fangs.
He suddenly speeded up and rushed towards Xiao Lan, and his feet stepped on the ground to form deep cracks.
Xiao Lan predicted the location of his attack and slid to the side, with the dagger in his hand ready to counterattack.
The next moment—
"Wow—"
The floor, which was originally full of cracks, collapsed under the opponent's vigorous stepping.
In Xiao Lan's dumbfounded eyes, the guy with fangs and claws struggled weakly in mid-air, and his twisted hands and feet drew irregular arcs in the air, like a bastard being picked up.
Then he fell helplessly and hit the floor of the next floor with a chirp.
Xiao Lan just felt a little sympathy in her heart, and she saw Luo directly lifted a broken pillar and threw it downward, which happened to hit the opponent with a huge roar.
Seeing no more sound from below, Luo showed a satisfied smile, gently patted the dust on his hands with grace.
Xiao Lan couldn't bear to look straight and turned away.
It's terrible, it's terrible...
