Those silver watches are the size of a palm, and each one is about the same size. Hundreds of them hang down from the sky, and the joint is a golden silk thread.
The silk thread came down from the sky and passed through the clouds. With their eyesight, even Lu Qingjia's clairvoyance could not see the end.
The richest man picked up one of the watches at random, frowned and looked at it for a while: "Some are still going, some have stopped, but the distribution is irregular."
I looked again and compared the body and back of the silver watch: "There is no obvious mark."
Lu Qingjia said, "How could there not be."
He pulled several watches over at the same time: "Look inside the dial, the time at three o'clock."
The date is usually displayed here, but these silver watches only have a grid as large as a small grain of rice, and the number "7" is displayed on it, so strictly speaking, there is really no difference.
Lu Qingjia said, "What does the number 7 remind you of in this world?"
The richest man suddenly realized: "Is this the number of tickets purchased?"
He quickly corrected dozens of tickets in one breath: "Because we reset everyone's ticket purchases back to seven this morning, so the above display is also all seven?"
After speaking, the richest man hesitated: "Is it a bit far-fetched to guess? After all, we can't find any evidence to prove it."
"Why not?" Lu Qingjia smiled and said, "I let players, stranded players, and players who became NPCs restore their initial counts."
"It now seems that although the NPCs failed to recover their memory and skills, they still showed in some places."
"The proof is—" Lu Qingjia's eyes passed through thousands of silver watches, and reached out and pulled over a silver watch hidden in a corner.
Unlike many silver watches, the number shown above is a number '6'.
Lu Qingjia said to the richest man, "You are looking for you too. At that time, I specifically didn't let anyone adjust your frequency."
"Why?" The richest man asked Lu Qingjia's intention while looking for it: "You couldn't have guessed it at that time, right?"
Lu Qingjia said: "How is it possible? After the station collapses, I can determine the problem of the watch factory."
"It's just me alone, the sample is too small, it's not impossible that there is a coincidence, but with you, the probability is low. Besides, what is the risk of returning the number of times, I can't confirm it yet."
The richest man felt his teeth sour when he heard it: "So everyone, including your teammates, have been pushed out by you as guinea pigs?"
Lu Qingjia smiled: "I'm not someone who can really entrust my back. Of course, it's risky to try to ride with me."
The richest man didn't expect him to admit it so happily, he was silent for a while, and finally said with a smile: "Yes, you really don't look like a trusted player who can develop mutual trust with others."
"But at the same time, it's not a guy who abandons others for profit, or someone who pushes his teammates out to block the sword when a crisis comes."
The richest man looked at Lu Qingjia and smiled: "Although my customs clearance style is not as refined as yours, but the blessing of dragging on the family environment is still good for people."
"People like you, although lacking moral restraint, have their own arrogance and behavioral aesthetics."
"If you let yourself do cowardly and ugly behavior, it's more uncomfortable than killing you."
Without waiting for Lu Qingjia to answer, he pulled out a silver watch in one place: "Look, I found it."
He pointed to the number above, and it showed only "1", which was the number left by the richest man when he passed the final level.
"If these silver watches represent all players, then there is a trail for these watches to go or stop."
Lu Qingjia said: "For example, the above shows '7', but it has stopped. It should be a player who has become an NPC."
"Other watches seem to be working normally, but if they really represent players, there must be a difference between stranded players and regular players."
Lu Qingjia took out two silver watches at random, and suddenly there were more tools in his hand.
The richest man said quickly, "What are you doing?"
Lu Qingjia said of course: "Of course, take it apart and see. Have you ever heard of any watch that cannot be taken apart?"
He smiled again and said, "What is life complete for a man who has never dismantled watches, toys and electrical appliances?"
The richest man: "… "
It made so much sense that he was speechless for a while.
He could only watch as Lu Qingjia unscrewed the sesame-thin screws on the silver watch with extremely delicate tools.
The first one didn't find any abnormality, so he let the guy put it back, the second and the third, and finally found the difference in the fourth one.
"Look!" Lu Qingjia handed him the watch.
When the richest man looked inside, he saw that the inside of the silver watch had been entangled with golden threads. Although the surface was rotating normally, the thread connected to the sky. As long as the other party thought about it, the hand that was hiding behind and controlling everything could be instantly controlled.
Lu Qingjia said, "Then here comes the question. We are ordinary players and stranded players. We are just two samples from the two camps. Do you want to take them apart and check them out?"
The richest man gritted his teeth: "Demolish!"
After speaking, the two quickly took apart their own silver watch. Sure enough, as an ordinary player, Lu Qingjia's internal structure was normal, and the gold wire was only for connection.
The inside of the watch of the richest man is beautiful, and the gold thread is entwined, as if it represents a situation where he is more controlled by others than he imagined, which makes him feel angry and ashamed.
Lu Qingjia said: "Now I finally understand why in the past three years, there has never been a player who has accumulated enough points in exchange for a chance to return to reality."
"Because if your time is not as you think, it has been freed from the shackles of refreshing the rules of the game and clearing your memory, then it will be easy to explain."
"The stranded players seem to have escaped the curse of repeated amnesia refreshes, but they are completely in the hands of a certain existence. They can be distinguished from normal players every day, and the days with smooth memory make them lose their vigilance."
"But in fact, it is only subject to more precise control. Like ordinary players, it is only limited by the rules, because as long as the number of times has not been used up, it is not considered a mission failure, and that existence is not qualified to control like a puppet. player."
"But the stranded players are different. It has all-round control over you. It is more precise and does not even need to follow any rules and balance. It can do whatever it wants, and I even doubt that it can directly edit your memory."
"That's why so many people have been unable to complete their performance." The richest man took over and sneered: "I couldn't trust that thing in the morning, so I never expected to get away through performance. It seems that I saved myself once."
The two directly put away their own silver watch, but the richest man is more troublesome and needs to remove the tangled gold thread.
The gold thread is also tricky. Originally, the entire silver watch was small, and the mechanical parts inside must be more miniature. Those gold threads were twisted and knotted around, and when the richest man wanted to untie it, he actually found that it moved flexibly.
"Is this a warning to me not to leave unless I want to destroy my watch?" The richest man said in a gloomy tone.
"It's not necessary." Lu Qingjia's hair suddenly became longer, and he got into the watch, fighting with those gold threads, protecting the parts of the silver watch by the way.
Before, they easily pulled the watch off the gold wire, which shows that the gold wire is not very tough. Although it is more than enough to destroy the richest man's silver watch, it is still vulnerable to Lu Qingjia's hair. .
After all, Lu Qingjia's hair can split the existence of steel pipes in the first game. By now, there are few opponents in the intermediate field in terms of toughness and sharpness.
Although the gold thread is terrifying, it is not powerful at this level.
After taking off the watch, Lu Qingjia received a message from a female player in the same team, saying that they had arrived, but they did not see Lu Qingjia.
Lu Qingjia and the richest man came out of the space and saw several people appearing outside.
He said to them, "Come here."
Several people stepped onto the gear wheel blankly. When Lu Qingjia bought the train company, he got the ticketing system on his mobile phone.
At this time, you can control it easily and freely, and then buy tickets for your own team of players.
It wasted a lot of ticket purchase opportunities, but it also made the numbers on the players' silver watches become 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2, respectively.
Several people took off the silver watch successfully, and the prompt that the customs clearance conditions were reached sounded in their minds.
[213 player group clearance conditions are met, please go to the logout exit as soon as possible, time is limited, please go to the logout exit as soon as possible.]
Before the system could speak, a small door with a height of one person appeared out of thin air not far away. It just stood in the air and could not see any difference from the back of the door, just as if the door was just a decoration.
But the door opened slowly, and looking at it from the front, it was another space.
Then a three-minute countdown is displayed above.
Several players did not expect that it was only the third day of the game. The game, which seemed to be full of traps and difficulty, had already reached the clearance point, and could even log out immediately, with a happy face.
He hurriedly said, "Brother Lu, let's go in quickly."
Lu Qingjia smiled: "What's the hurry? I have something else to do."
A few people were stunned, and today they still can't keep up with each other's brain circuits.
A male player who had had enough of it said in a panic, "Why don't you hurry, you only have three minutes—ah, dozens of seconds have passed since the time to speak."
Lu Qingjia sneered: "If you want to stay, stay, if you want, I will leave?"
This, why is this still on the hook? Everyone was speechless.
But the richest man had a tacit understanding with Lu Qingjia in the past two days, but he understood.
He also sneered: "So it is, it seems that this space is really full of treasures to be dug."
Lu Qingjia nodded and said to the other five: "Don't worry, the so-called trigger logout condition is just to remove a few watches, these watches only represent us, it's not that the entire space or even the game copy will collapse. Now, let's set a fart countdown, it's only three minutes."
Speaking loudly, he said to the existence in the air, "I've already told you, you don't have the flexibility to respond to unexpected situations, why are you still so mentally retarded? The more eager you are to send me away, the more it proves that this place can't stand investigation. ?"
After listening to his words, several players are not in a hurry.
After all, this customs clearance is too wild, and they will end before they are ready. To be honest, trust your own judgment, it is really better to trust the boss, and the richest man also said the same.
So everyone ignored the countdown on the door. Sure enough, after three minutes passed, the countdown disappeared and the door didn't close. Obviously, the chicken thief wanted to trick them not to stay in the space.
"What's in here?" someone asked.
In this silver watch space, except for hundreds of silver watches hanging in the air, there is nothing around it. It is so white that it seems that there is no boundary. If you want to find something, the area is so large that it is too big for the seven of them. Not light work.
It is more likely that an accident will happen because of the dispersion.
But Lu Qingjia didn't think so. He smiled: "I've been emphasizing something since I started the mission, have you forgotten?"
A few players couldn't pick out the most important things for a while because he had too many rude manipulations.
But the richest man reacted immediately: "In this world, the more restrictions you set, the more you want, and you must exchange for equal or even higher chips."
"Since he can specify such trivial and strict rules, correspondingly, players can also easily get the chips it bets on."
"Positive solution!" Lu Qingjia said: "For a player who focuses on keeping players, the rules are more trivial and stricter than any dungeon, and it is beneficial to the system. It is impossible to have the opportunity to limit the heavy treasures to difficult acquisition conditions. At most, it can only hide."
"And this hidden, you can't use abilities or props beyond the level of intermediate players."
It was said that the shoulder-mounted rocket launcher appeared in Lu Qingjia's hand again, and it was a shot in the air.
Everyone didn't expect him to be so reckless, and looked up at the sky blankly.
However, they found that the sky in this space was not as high as they imagined, and it shattered with a blast.
"Holographic projection?"
Everyone looked at the exposed ceiling and said that although this space is not small, its height is only less than ten meters. The fake sky disappeared and its true face was exposed.
"No, this thing is much smarter than a holographic projection." The richest man said: "After all, I am also good at spatial ability. If it is just a technological method, the scope and height of the room are already in my grasp."
Layers of ice cubes appeared under Lu Qingjia's feet, spreading directly upwards, lifting him up to the ceiling.
In the middle of the top, there is a golden pocket watch.
Those golden threads all spread out from this pocket watch, looking at the dungeon's stance of desperately leaving the player behind, and its ambition to create a complete sub-world here, if it is all controlled by this golden pocket watch, then what is it? The number that can be controlled is feared that there are thousands of them today and it is only the beginning.
Lu Qingjia took off his pocket watch, and before he touched his hand, he suddenly felt a terrifying killing intent.
That killing intent seemed to be condensed into a solid body, slashing Lu Qingjia thousands of times, and even the richest man below and several other players deeply felt the pressure.
It was even more stressful than the Western Dragon who faced the higher world before. It made people feel chills down their spines, counted down with hair all over their bodies, blood pooled under their feet, and almost ran away.
Two of the players actually did so, and their subconscious reaction made them jump directly into the door.
But Lu Qingjia seemed to be unaware of this killing intent, but smiled instead: "Don't be so ugly, you are only allowed to take advantage of it, and you won't suffer?"
"Since you want to gamble, of course you have to plan to lose everything - oh no, you haven't lost yet, so don't be so stingy."
Without hesitation, he took off his gold pocket watch.
When the pocket watch touched Lu Qingjia's body, it disappeared and merged directly into his body.
It turned out to be not a prop, but the ability to be extracted and expressed in the form of a prop.
The moment Lu Qingjia received it, he knew what the essence of this ability was, and he had to admire Ouyang Bai's European energy for him.
It is indeed the blessing of the Emperor.
Lu Qingjia removed the frost and landed on the flat surface. When the people around him saw it, they all knew that he had found the treasure and it looked incredible. Otherwise, the controller of this copy would not be murdered.
"Are you going to be alright? After all, that—" A player recalled the killing intent just now and his scalp was numb.
Lu Qingjia said: "I hope it disregards the rules and shoots me personally."
Everyone heard the words and relaxed a little, always feeling that as long as the existence didn't come in person, then Lu Qingjia could deal with all the problems caused by this level.
Although he was a little sour about finding the treasure, there was nothing he could do about it. Guan was brought with him, and the treasure was found by himself. It had almost nothing to do with the people around them. No face to say that those who see it have a share.
With this idea in mind, I'm still happy now.
Lu Qingjia said: "Let's go, it's time to log out of the game."
The golden watch that controls the player and the entire dungeon has been obtained. If he successfully logs out of the game, the dungeon is considered to be broken.
Other stranded players will also return to reality, but they just don't know how the NPCs will deal with it.
Several people stepped over the door and entered a stone room. The moment the seven people stepped in, the door was closed.
Instead, at the other end of the stone room, a door reappeared, and the various scenes outside the door changed, which was clearly the reality.
Some players have been impatient to see this.
The richest man also said: "Yes, the final point of our team at that time was here."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Qingjia in front suddenly appeared behind a bubble cover, and then a pool of silt covered it back.
Because the richest man suffered losses here, he became vigilant the moment he entered, but others were not.
There were two people who didn't react quickly enough to avoid them, and they were instantly covered with mud all over their faces.
I saw a player behind Lu Qingjia, who was slashing in his hand. Originally, his hand was empty.
But after being poured into the mud, everything was hidden, only to find that he was holding a great sword in his hand.
Before that, the sword was colorless and invisible, and it was a sharp weapon for sneak attacks, but it was guarded by Lu Qingjia's understatement.
Lu Qingjia smiled: "I forgot that you don't have the memory of yesterday. What I know now is all based on my advice, not what I remembered by myself, so the memory has not been unlocked. Of course, I don't know that I have a strong defense ability."
The player's face was ugly, and he yelled at the people around him: "What are you doing? Let's play together, the game is cleared, and the benefit will be shared by those who see it. Why does this guy monopolize it silently?"
The richest man couldn't believe it: "Are you fucking crazy? Do you have any use for yourself and don't have a clue? What good things are your business?"
The other party smirked: "Hey! We are not as generous as the richest man. The richest man has a big business, so naturally you don't like these things, but my buddies are fighting with their lives to pass the customs, and I will never let it go if it is my benefit."
These remarks made the surrounding players shake a little, but the female player was the one who could sit still the most.
She frowned: "Enough. Although everyone is jealous of treasures, Brother Lu has it. It is normal for you to be jealous this time, but as long as you have a conscience, give me away the thoughts that you shouldn't have."
"If it wasn't for Brother Lu, we wouldn't be at the station at the moment. How many people can discover the secret of the refresh? It's only a matter of time before the five of us become NPCs, right?"
A male player said with a smile: "Brother Lu is indeed very charming, how long has it been? It makes women give up."
Then he said to the female player: "You women are still relying on customs to pass the customs. Don't see a man with weak legs and can't wait to post it. It's your business that you are willing to give up, why should you care about us?"
The female player looked distorted with anger: "What the hell are you doing? Before you spray dung, check that the old lady's level is higher than yours, and you still dare to point me at the customs?"
For a time, the swords were drawn in the stone room, and the previous happiness collapsed in an instant.
The richest man frowned and said with a sneer: "It seems that this room is an evil door. Whether it's a normal customs clearance or a shortcut, no matter how good the outside relationship is, it's time to question each other and tear off the disguise."
Lu Qingjia said: "There's no need to doubt it. There is a ban on amplifying people's negative emotions. You must have guessed it."
"But take it easy. You think you are not affected, but in fact, theoretically, no one can be spared."
"You should be ashamed of your teammates and everyone present, and even want to kill everyone?"
The richest man was shocked and quickly calmed down. He was powerful and of course confrontational. After being reminded by Lu Qingjia, he knew how to suppress it.
The remaining five players, the female player and the other player with relatively strong mental strength, began to reflect upon hearing this, and tried to calm down their emotions, so as not to be led by paranoia, desire, anger and jealousy.
But the remaining three resistances are not so strong.
In Lu Qingjia's opinion, it's not a problem, so he said: "Okay, even if you are dazzled by desire now, you should know that if I have been prepared, it is impossible to get what you want."
As he spoke, he grinned, and for the first time completely released his killing intent.
Immediately, the people in the stone room seemed to be immersed in a freezing cold pool, which was different from the killing intent that had clearly crossed the level before.
Although the previous killing intent was powerful, it was vaguely separated by a layer in the end, but the killing intent at this time made people feel the immediate threat, as if his head would fall from his neck in the blink of an eye.
Lu Qingjia said, "Are you still taking risks?"
The fear brought by the killing intent made the three of them regain some sense. Comparing their strengths with Lu Qingjia and the richest man, they realized how stupid they were just now.
Lu Qingjia didn't take this episode seriously at all. Instead, he said to the richest man, "I can understand why even if I pass the previous level, it will fail at the last step."
"The rules for entering the log-in exit are strict, and there are restrictions on inspiring willful and evil thoughts. Few are unaffected. The original dungeon is full of traps, making it difficult for players to establish complete trust. It's all in vain."
The richest man nodded. In fact, he was just like Lu Qingjia before. He had the strength to hold down everyone in the team, but when he counterattacked subconsciously, he shot too hard. In addition, other players were also fighting with each other. If someone died, the team was incomplete. , then you are disqualified.
Because of the logout of the copy, there is clearly written [limited to six people] next to it.
In other words, one of the people in this room is destined to stay.
So who stays? Who is willing to give up the hard-to-find system to others, who was originally overwhelmed by the dark side of the magic trick, after the sneak attack and infighting, where can there be any trust? Where would they be willing to stay in order to confirm that this sentence is the possibility of a game trap again
The richest man sneered: "This thing will be flexible. When we met, it was limited to four people, and we had five people."
Lu Qingjia smiled and said, "Can this word be edited together?"
The three players who barely regained their senses sneered: "Whether the word changes with the number of people, you can't tell the truth of this rule, right?"
"You said it so grandly, and now you have to keep one. Who are you going to choose?"
In a word, the atmosphere that had finally calmed down a little bit sharpened again.
With the strength of Lu Qingjia and the richest man, of course there is no problem, and they are the ones who will survive in the end.
But other people are not necessarily, they have the same strength, the gap is not big, anyone may be left here.
They don't have the ability of Lu Qingjia, and they don't even have the strength of the richest man to be like a duck to water even if they are trapped. When their memory will disappear tomorrow, they may not remember that they have reached the point where they can pass the customs with one foot.
So a few players look at me, I look at you, and one player shot instantly and attacked the female player.
"Anyway, there is only one left, so let's do our best."
As long as one of them dies, then there is no need to choose, and all the rest can pass the level.
The female player has long been prepared. If she can get in here as a woman, she must not be soft-hearted. Seeing this, she immediately counterattacks, and she is ruthless in her heart.
However, before the battle started, the two of them were dragged into the ground by the mud that appeared out of thin air, and only one head emerged.
Lu Qingjia said speechlessly: "You should also know your own IQ. Since it is not suitable for making decisions, then don't bypass the leader's arbitrariness."
Said to everyone: "You go out, I am the last."
"You?" The others were shocked and suspicious.
But the richest man could barely understand it. He said, "You doubt that once someone in the team dies, will the number of words above change?"
For example, it is currently limited to six people, but if one dies, the number becomes five if it cannot be preserved.
"Or once someone dies, he violates the logout regulations and automatically loses the logout qualification?"
The richest man would think so, based entirely on his understanding of the urine nature of this copy.
Lu Qingjia said: "It's not suspicion, it's for sure. The condition for this dungeon to go out is that all those who enter the stone chamber survive and escape."
The richest man was a little worried: "What if? What if you stay."
He shut up halfway through the words, because he saw Lu Qingjia's expression.
That self-confidence, almost arrogant attitude, even if the other party is left behind, he is confident that he can still pass the level, that is, he is convinced that this dungeon can't trap him, the attitude of the winner.
