Since the entire event hall had a clear view, they were not afraid of being scattered, so the three of them searched various areas in the hall separately.
The activity hall on the first floor is not too big, but it can be roughly divided into several areas. Tie Xue has always been silent for several days, but what he did in his hands was unambiguous. He directly claimed the one that seemed to be the best. The dangerous areas without sunlight left those bright areas under the outside sunlight to the other two.
This is probably a kind of subconscious among human beings. After all, except for dark creatures like vampires who are afraid of the sun, other creatures' sense of security under the sun will be greatly improved.
Fortunately, this mission was during the day. If it was pitch dark at night and the orphanage was still in such a desolate environment on the outskirts, they probably would not dare to make the decision to group them into groups.
The girl Doloth has the unique meticulousness of a girl. In the process of exploring the entire hall, she was obviously much more meticulous than the Ye Ao player. Even the cabinets and drawers were carefully pulled out and rummaged through, but just in When she opened a certain cabinet, a large pile of stuffed white paper poured out of the cabinet.
"This is... a painting assignment?"
After cautiously retreating away and waiting for a while, but finding nothing unusual, he stepped forward again. Doloth, who breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief, carefully reached out and picked up a piece of white paper.
What is shown on this white paper is a slightly childish white paper painting. The scene depicted on the painting seems to be a stairwell that is directly illuminated by the sun. Below this white paper painting, There is also a mark marked with a red pen and encouraging comments.
After carefully flipping through a few more pictures, Doloth felt completely relieved.
After all, no matter how far you look at it, these pencil drawings are just ordinary and bland white paper.
And just when she stood up and wanted to leave to explore elsewhere, the wireless walkie-talkie she carried rang a few times, and a dull voice came from it.
"Um...can you hear me?"
… Is that the lowest-level player in the team
After being stunned for a moment, Doloth reluctantly recalled the owner of the voice and took out the walkie-talkie from his pocket.
"You hear me, did you notice anything unusual over there?"
After a moment of silence, the traveler's voice came from the intercom.
"Ah... It should be considered an anomaly, but it shouldn't be the source of the anomaly..."
After a moment's pause, the voice on the intercom continued to ring.
"I remember that there should be a drawing area in the activity hall on the first floor. Could you please help the people on the first floor to find if there is any drawing paper or drawing notebooks there? What should be drawn on it is A stairwell... Now if I have to go downstairs first and then go upstairs to get it, it will be very troublesome and a waste of time... "
staircase…
After looking at the pile of white papers stacked in front of him, Doloth began to speak after a slight hesitation.
"I found something here... Is there anything wrong with these white paper paintings?"
As she spoke, she carefully stayed away from the pile of white paper.
"Huh? That saves a lot of time. If you search through those paintings, you should be able to see a unique painting."
The answer came over the intercom.
"...different?"
Looking at the pile of drawing papers in front of her, Doloth looked a little confused, but she didn't say anything more. She knelt down and started rummaging through it.
Since the walkie-talkie channel covers all channels, at this time, Tie Xue, Ye Ao, and Nai Wohe all followed. Under the premise that the number of people was doubled, about a minute later, the "with The white paper drawings "different" were rummaged through.
—On the wall above the staircase drawn on this white paper, there are several human figures outlined with rough lines.
Volume 1 The Gap between Virtual and Real: Chapter 85 Chapter 83 Abnormal Speculations
These white paper paintings are obviously made by children, and most of the pictures on them are a little childish.
So honestly, every painting is different.
The twisted and immature paintbrushes of children tend to be different from each other. It is still a little difficult to find such a "distinctive" painting paper among these completely different painting papers.
The only difference on this drawing paper found by Doloth is that there are a few random graffiti on the wall. It looks like a little person standing on a stool and leaning on the window looking out.
— extremely abstract.
"Then? Let me think about it next... Use an eraser to wipe off the bench under the wall and try it."
After listening to Doloth's description on the other side of the intercom, he looked at the scene in front of him, and after thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi spoke to the other end of the intercom.
A few seconds later, Bai Zhi nodded as he looked at the bench in front of him that had returned from a two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional one. He stepped forward and kicked the bench away.
"Okay, you can now erase that crude human figure on the wall."
A moment later, with a cry of surprise, Qianxiao Xinrou, who lost the support of the bench, fell directly from the air and let out a cry of pain.
However, he didn't care about Qianxiao Xinrou's intention. Facing the travelers' inquiries about the previous events that came from the radio again, Bai Zhi sat down on the bench and used the simplest words to explain what he had just said. What happened was told.
"Did you walk into a painting... I understand, let's continue."
The traveler's thoughtful words came from the intercom, and then he hung up the communication.
"...How did you guess it?"
Looking at the bench sitting under the other party's butt with some resentment, Xinrou, who was rubbing her shoulders with a smile, couldn't help but ask Bai Zhi.
"Even if you guessed that we walked into a painting, how could you know so accurately that we were on the white paper with childish graffiti? Rather than existing in a certain photo or a certain Among the paintings by famous artists?”
"It's very simple."
Very strangely, he turned his head and glanced at Qianxiao Xinrou. Bai Zhi had a matter-of-fact look on his face.
"It only took a few seconds for me to turn my head before, but in such a short period of time, you were turned into a painting and painted on the wall. You can be painted in just a few seconds. On the wall, there are only immature graffiti drawn by children, right? After all, for children, one or two horizontal and vertical lines represent a person... I had memorized the whole thing on the first floor. The distribution of the lobby on the first floor can be imagined by just thinking about it.”
"..."
With an expression that said, "I don't know what you are talking about, but it sounds awesome." Smiling and sad, Xinrou stood up from the ground and complained in her mouth with a depressed look.
"But even so, there's no need for you to make me fall on purpose, right? You even kicked the bench away and sat down, so you couldn't pick me up a little bit... Why are you looking at me like this?"
"No, I'm just lamenting that fools are indeed blessed... God is indeed fair. While giving you extraordinary luck, he also took away your IQ. I'm not a bearded man. I will comfort and care for you when you face the mistakes you make.”
Bai Zhi curled his lips, kicked the bench under him to the opponent again, and walked upstairs along the stairwell.
"With your reckless personality, if you don't have a better memory, do you think you can survive for a long time? Even that coward, a night owl, is much better than you..."
"..."
Looking at the departing figure of Bai Zhi in front of her, she opened her mouth, smiled and Xinrou seemed to want to say something, but in the end, after putting the bench back into her backpack, she still followed silently. behind the other party.
Along with this, in the lobby on the first floor, those white paper paintings were burned to ashes by Doloth's fire, and the endless stairwell that originally trapped Bai Zhi and the others also disappeared without a trace.
And just when those blank paper paintings were burned, a prompt popped up in front of all the players.
[A hidden source of anomalies has been solved]
Seeing this prompt popping up in front of him, the traveler who was in the corridor on the third floor couldn't help but frown slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing the change in the expression of his companion, the tall and indifferent woman turned her head to look at him.
"Did you notice? The system gave a hint that a hidden source of anomalies has been solved, but it did not give any other content."
He adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and the traveler's voice seemed a little deep.
"The goal of mission ② is for us to find six hidden sources of anomalies, but does this mean there are only six in this orphanage? I have always doubted this in my heart. But according to the line that the system just popped up Hint, I have been able to make a rough inference... "
"It means that there may not be six or more hidden sources of abnormalities in this orphanage, right?"
A long sword appeared in his hand at some point, and Lian Qing looked forward with an indifferent expression.
What was in front of them at this time was a long corridor with no end as far as the eye could see. The doors on both sides of the corridor were closed tightly, and the lights above their heads flickered on and off.
—And behind them, there is also a long corridor with no end in sight.
After they entered the third floor, they seemed to have walked less than a few steps before they inexplicably fell into this straight and endless corridor. Just like Bai Zhi and the others who had inexplicably walked into the same place before, Same as in the painting.
At this moment, about a few hundred meters away in front of them, a vague black figure was hammering the wall with his hands, and a fairly regular hammering sound came faintly from the distance.
However, they had been standing here for almost three minutes, and the black figure showed no intention of moving, and just kept beating the wall.
"Yes, there are definitely more than six sources of anomalies in this welfare home. But what makes me wonder is, under the premise that there are anomalies everywhere in this welfare home, how did those ordinary people survive?"
Raising his head to look at the black figure a few hundred meters ahead, the traveler frowned.
"Since the mission gives the task of bringing ordinary people indoors outside, it means that there must be survivors in the orphanage, but the problem is..."
"Where are these survivors hiding?"
Volume 1 The Gap between Virtuality and Reality: Chapter 86 Chapter 84 The Black Shadow Knocking on the Wall
The corridor on the third floor of the welfare home has completely become an alienated space.
The straight corridor with no end as far as the eye can see is the main structure here. About a few hundred meters in front of the traveler and Lianqing, a vague black figure is tapping the wall with his hands regularly. .
Regarding the current situation, both Traveler and Lianqing behaved quite calmly. After all, for players who frequently deal with strange incidents, this kind of thing is not too unexpected.
Every ghost story has its own so-called killing rules, even if it is an unsolvable type of ghost story. In the face of ghost stories, panic is meaningless and will only accelerate your own death.
"Instead of having time to think about where the survivors are hiding, we should first think about how we are going to escape from here."
Turning her head and looking at the traveler who was still frowning in thought, Lian Qing spoke coldly.
"The black shadow is getting closer to us."
Just as Lian Qing said, the black figure that should have been a few hundred meters away had already approached to a range of only a hundred meters away at some point. The sound of the other party's arm slapping the wall also accompanied the distance. It becomes clearer as you zoom closer.
—The other party is constantly approaching them.
However, although the distance has been shortened, from their perspective, it is still just a blurry human-shaped black shadow.
"It's still unclear what the other party's purpose is in slapping the wall with his hands. If you attack the other party rashly, it will be bad if you accidentally trigger the killing rules... I'll do it."
After glancing at the long sword held by Lian Qing next to him, the traveler let out a breath, leaned over and pressed his hand on the ground.
A second later, a square robot appeared out of thin air at the traveler's feet.
[Skill name: RX-78 Chaser]
[Type: Summoning]
[Level: Normal]
[Effect: Summon an induced self-destruction robot RX-78 Chaser. This self-destruction robot will automatically pursue the enemy, and when it comes into contact with the enemy, it will self-destruct and cause damage to the opponent. It can be controlled independently or detonated in advance]
[Consumption: 10 psionic energy]
[Cooling time: 1 minute]
[Learning conditions: Intelligence is greater than or equal to 10 points]
[Note: Art is Patrick Star! !]
This skill is derived from the basic skill of the sharpshooter in DNF. The skill description is slightly enhanced and can be controlled independently. It is a skill card obtained by the traveler in the process of conquering the game in "Game". Because the skill level is only ordinary, this skill Skills are slightly less useful.
Although the damage is considerable, after all, the speed of this self-destructing robot is too slow. It is only a little faster than ordinary people walking. It is okay to use it to catch people by surprise, but if it is used to attack difficulties, which fool will be killed by this? Something exploded
But in this situation, it is enough to be used as a test.
After the little robot was summoned, it rushed towards the black shadow that was already 90 meters away according to the traveler's control at a speed slightly faster than ordinary people walking.
But during this process, the black figure never made any reaction. He just kept tapping the wall mechanically with his hands, allowing the self-destructing little robot to run to his feet.
And just when the traveler ordered to self-destruct, a warning sign rose in his heart. Before he could react, Lian Qing beside him suddenly kicked him hard.
boom! ! !
Along with the sound of an explosion, as the fire exploded on the black figure, a shock wave also exploded where the traveler was.
If Lian Qing's kick hadn't kicked him out just now, the traveler would have been injured by his own self-destructing robot.
"Ahem... Injury, damage feedback?"
After coughing a few times and pressing his stomach with his hand, the traveler stood up from the ground with his hands on the wall.
Looking at the dark figure that was unharmed after the explosion of fire not far away, he couldn't help but frowned fiercely.
"Whether it is or not, you will know if you try again!!"
With a cold face, Lian Qing rushed forward with a sword in hand.
What's the saying
As long as you dare to show your health bar, even a god will kill you.
The so-called freaks are also divided into strong and weak ones. The kind of monster that never reveals its true identity is naturally the most dangerous, because if you unknowingly trigger the killing pattern of monsters, how can you even yourself? The dead ones don’t even know. However, even if you trigger the killing pattern of a weak monster, you can still destroy it as long as you are strong enough.
Currently, most of the known unsolvable types of ghost stories in the world fall into this category. However, the few ghost stories that expose their core are all in an invincible state similar to that of a Shinigami elementary school student. There is no way to eliminate it, you can only find ways to control it.
The meaning of players' existence is not to escape from the clutches of urban ghost stories, but to eliminate the ghost stories that are constantly emerging in this world.
