Suer wondered if his vision of seeing people was not accurate recently, and he could hear a bit of sincerity in the host's words.
Compliment yourself with sincerity
He suddenly raised his guard and used the eye in his body to peep at the other party, trying to find evidence that the host was possessed. However, the reflection presented in the mysterious eye is the same as the real thing.
"Not possessed?" Sur snorted, surprised by the result.
Princess Camellia raised her head and said softly, "Remember to stick to your original intention."
"… "
Sur pondered for a few seconds, but decided to ask to understand, the next moment ushered in the game prompt:
[Player Ji Heng returned the mad scientist's brain and opened the side quest 'The Key to the Center'.]
[Before 0:00, the player successfully reset the key, and the overall survival probability increased by 50%.]
"It's so fast." Sur praised from the bottom of his heart, Ji Heng's efficiency is really not so fast.
In his place, he might still be struggling to pry open the corpse's skull.
Out of the corner of the eye, he accidentally swept the host's expression, and the curvature of the corner of Sur's mouth quickly pursed into a straight line. At that moment, Princess Camellia's eyes were playful, because the other party was too good at hiding emotions, he wasn't sure if he was wrong.
She snapped her fingers, and when Princess Camellia spoke, her voice spread to every corner of the library. The voice was not harsh, and Sur stood opposite him, describing it without prejudice, still low and sweet.
"The side quests are opened, the restrictions are lifted, and after half an hour, everyone can freely enter and leave the library."
It just so happens that the tower clock strikes the hour on the hour, and the melodious sound of the bell seems to have the effect of purifying the soul.
Princess Camellia showed a weird smile: "Fate is like a pendulum, and it is really interesting that he starts the side quest in person."
Sur doesn't speak, and perverts tend to think the world is boring, but the word that comes up most often to them is 'interesting'.
Seeing that his lips moved, Princess Camellia disappeared from the spot before the first sound was made, without giving Sur any chance to speak.
Didi's group message prompts keep coming:
[Xu Yangyang: Dude is cool! A request to send a location group rendezvous.]
[Zhu language: +1.]
[Jia Kanhua: Add more!]
The side quest was started by Ji Heng. Others did not know the specific situation, so they could only grab relevant information through the parties involved.
Ji Heng was too lazy to meet, and went to the group to explain Feng Peng's matter directly, of course the part involving himself was hidden.
[Zhu Yu: Let's meet. I am in the reading room on the third floor and have important clues to share.]
[Sur: Let’s go now, let’s talk about the main content first, to prevent you from having an accident before we rush over.]
In the end, Zhu Yu did not share it in the group, and replaced the speechless mood with a string of ellipses.
Sur was the furthest from the third floor, and he was one behind him when he ran up.
The routine in the film and television drama did not happen, and Zhu Yu was still alive. When the people arrived, they directly took out a broken book, which recorded an incredible experience.
The color of the handwriting is very pale with the passage of time, similar to the handbook. Most of them are recording the schedule. Each page mentions the experiment time, which shows that the original owner is a scientific researcher. The recorder's daily routine, eating canteen meals every day. But in the second half, there are more late-night snacks such as beer, fried chicken, etc., and a few cute emojis are drawn in the blank space.
The date on the last page jumped directly to two months later, the style of painting changed suddenly, and it returned to the previous old-fashioned and rigorous, and wrote the redundant content for the first time:
"My wife said that I was giggling in my sleep, and that I was talking in my sleep. From time to time, I would bring up the central plan, but I don't remember having a dream. Strange things happened. I was talking about the same dream for a week in a row."
"Asked my colleagues, they thought it was too stressful. I had no choice but to take a leave of absence for a few days. At this moment, Feng Peng came to the door and said he knew what the central plan was. I was so excited that I was about to ask in detail, Feng Peng said that once he tried to pass on relevant information, his memory of the plan would quickly fade away."
The diary only ends here.
Xu Yangyang: "Where did you come from?"
Zhu Yu: "I met a ghost in the bathroom and beat him by luck."
To put it lightly, the process is absolutely life-threatening. Xu Yangyang concealed his doubts, since he entered the game, Zhu Yu has been guiding everyone to exchange information, and now he is giving away clues for free, and the Virgin is not necessarily so noble.
Zhu Yu said sincerely: "Leaving this dungeon alive is very important to me."
A copy this time
Sur raised his eyebrows, it sounded like it didn't matter whether the future copies survived or not. After thinking about it, she sent a private message to Ji Heng: [I think she is going to do something big after she goes out.]
Ji Heng glanced at Zhu Yu, but did not comment.
Pretending to be unaware of other people's doubts about him, Zhu Yu looked down at the diary: "What do you think?"
Sur took the initiative to speak, pointing to the last line of small characters: "'Accelerating fades' means that even if he doesn't speak, Feng Peng's memory about the central plan is also being erased."
Zhu Yu nodded: "It seems that there is an inexplicable power that is controlling memory."
Compared with the players, Su Er and Ji Heng had a huge advantage, that is, they knew that the game was inevitable. The memories of these people will be erased, and the behind-the-scenes manipulation must be a game, which is erasing the memories of the aborigines about Ji Heng.
So when Zhu Yu was about to die on the memory manipulation incident, Sur ignored it and diverted everyone's attention: "There is only one day between the last recorded time in the diary and the time of Feng Peng's death."
Jia Kanhua: "The two are most likely related, but we have no time to explore their relationship."
Ji Heng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Feng Peng committed suicide. After his death, he entrusted the owner of the diary to help freeze the body."
Jia Kanhua was stunned.
Sur agrees: "The definition of Feng Peng in the game is 'mad scientist'. An overly good brain makes his memory fade later than the average person. Where is the crazy aspect?"
After hearing this, Jia Kanhua understood: "Death. Only death can guarantee that the memory will stay in that moment forever."
"Feng Peng entered the freezer in order to ensure that his body did not rot, and then turned into a ghost." Sur leaned against the wall: "Because obsessed with the memory of his lifetime requires players to find the brain. Now that the brain has been found, the breakthrough of the central plan will be Appear."
After going around in circles, the key point came back to the old man.
Not long ago, Xu Yangyang still vividly remembered the scene of Feng Peng chasing and killing Suer to the reading room, and said with a bitter face: "It's over, let's take it back now, what we have to deal with is a rational lunatic."
"There is another problem," Zhu Yu looked at Ji Heng coldly: "There are very few branch lines that will start the mission of all members."
According to the task prompt, as long as one player completes it, all members will benefit.
"It's not hard to explain."
Sur opened the message sent by Li Shuo.
- White flakes began to appear in the streets and alleys. Since morning, there have been more than 100 cases of 'flower arrangement deaths' across the country.
- out of control. Lu Lanxin is not an exception, people have been successfully parasitized in various places. If you have any clues, please contact us in time.
Li Shuo's message seems calm, but it is not difficult to judge the pressure he is currently under.
Sur walked to the window: "The world is going to be in chaos."
Most people's peach blossom seeds will be activated after being parasitized, resulting in a scene of death, but there are always exceptions. According to Li Shuo's initial words, there are only a few fixed areas where Bai Xu has appeared over the years. Now it seems that it is just an illusion created by the eggs to let humans relax their vigilance.
Unable to continue to sigh, Sur turned around and asked everyone to hand over the tablet: "I'll go to the store to charge."
The host did not provide a charger, and the tablet was not used much by daily players, and half of the electricity was not used up in the past few days. But this does not mean that the tablet is unimportant, especially in the future to keep an eye on the news.
Looking at the time and making sure that the half-hour limit passed, Sur walked out of the library with a backpack on his back.
After he left, the remaining players had no choice but to use Feng Peng as a breakthrough point.
On the fourth floor, a trace of clarity appeared in the old man's eyes, and his gaze stayed on Ji Heng for a while before opening his mouth.
"The Hub Project can save the world."
The first sentence is exciting.
"If you want to know where the key is, help me find something first."
"Many years ago, someone hid a manuscript in the library. I searched for several years and couldn't find it." Speaking of this, the old man's tone was irritable: "He clearly said that it was placed on the fourth floor of the library, why? Can't find it!"
Zhu Yu asked tentatively, "A manuscript about what?"
If you don't pick the words, just draw a few strokes on the wall, it is also a manuscript.
"How do I know?" The old man's mood was not stable: "Back then, I wanted to be the center, and I went to that person over and over again. He was very impatient, and finally said that he would hide a manuscript on the fourth floor. If I can find it, I will let it go. bit."
Zhu Yu was very particular about his words: "It's not fair to you, and the floor area is not small."
The old man: "At that time, that person asked me to close my eyes for 300 seconds, and it didn't take long before I hid it back."
Zhu Yu hurriedly asked, "What is the character of the other party?"
It is not ruled out that he is lying, but there is no possibility of hiding things at all.
Knowing what she meant, the old man sneered: "Don't worry, that person has always kept his word. But I advise you to hurry up. I can feel that these eggs are evolving. Every half hour, I will relax some of the fourth floor. control to allow the eggs to enter."
When he is no longer suppressed, facing the siege of evolutionary eggs, there is only a dead end waiting for them.
The old man has been sleepy for decades and has not found something that players need to find within a few hours, which sounds like a fantasy.
Before launching a carpet search, Xu Yangyang suddenly said, "Something happened outside."
Pedestrians on the street hurriedly ran in different directions, and the roadside was full of taxis.
Just as he guessed what was going on, Sur returned. He looked very embarrassed, his shirt was almost soaked with sweat, and his backpack was gone.
"People died nearby, and the government mass texted residents to go home."
He bent down and breathed a few times, and then said, "I'm unlucky. I almost lost my life when I met someone who succeeded in parasitism."
After the strenuous exercise, he didn't dare to sit down suddenly. After a while, he found a place to lean on: "How about you? What did you find?"
Xu Yangyang said the old man's request.
Sur thoughtful.
I didn't pay attention to his expression, because the time was running out, the players each divided an area and searched separately to improve efficiency.
Sur rested for a while, and when the crowd dispersed, he walked over to Ji Heng: "You should be the one who made the bet with Feng Peng."
Ji Heng nodded. In the scattered memory fragments, Feng Peng kept insisting that he should give up his central position.
"I earned it." Sur wiped his sweat and smiled and said, "Surprises always come unexpectedly."
Although the original memory is lost, it is difficult for people's behavioral logic to change much.
He asked expectantly: "Just think about it, where can things be hidden?"
"Women's toilet." Ji Heng said three words without hesitation.
Sur patted him on the shoulder amusingly: "Don't make trouble."
"You can't go too far in five minutes. If it were me, I would find a girl to help throw it into the trash can of the women's toilet."
It's convenient and one hundred percent.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Sur smiled faintly: "...You are not such a bad character."
Ji Heng nodded: "The old man should think so too."
The stake is secondary, the key is not to entangle too much with noisy people, and if he can't find Feng Peng for a day, he will keep looking for it, so as not to bother him.
“… so many years have passed…”
Ji Heng took the words lightly: "According to the normal cleaning frequency, the garbage will be transported out that night."
For a long time, Sur did not speak again.
In the silence, Ji Heng called out his name.
Waving his hand to stop talking, Su Er looked at the ceiling and suddenly sighed: "Friend, you are naughty!"
