As the second-highest-level being among all those who participated in this mission, it goes without saying that Lian Qing's strength is natural. He reached the distance of more than 50 meters in just a few seconds. While the long sword in his hand lit up with a faint light, Then he slashed towards the black figure's arm.
-Obviously, this long sword naturally also has the so-called evil-destroying function.
But what Lian Qing and even the travelers didn't expect at all was that just when the long sword in Lian Qing's hand was about to cut the black figure's arm, the figure of the black figure appeared again in the blink of an eye. A hundred meters away.
"This guy… "
Looking at the black figure a few hundred meters away, Lian Qing, who was holding a long sword, looked very ugly.
Because just after she stopped what she was doing, the distance between the black figure narrowed to more than ten meters away, and the sound made by her arms slapping the wall regularly seemed to be taunting her.
"... Find another way out. We have no way to deal with it now. The least we can do is find relevant clues."
Frowning and looking at the dark figure over there, the traveler stretched out his hand to push up his glasses, then unconsciously pressed his hand on his stomach.
—The kick Lian Qing gave him just now was really a bit harsh, and he still hasn't recovered yet.
"I don't know why, I always feel like I've overlooked something, but for a while, I can't even think of what important point I've overlooked..."
"Finding something you ignored can help us get out of here?"
With a slightly cold face, Lian Qing walked back again.
"Who knows? The opponent's long-range attack will be fed back intact, and the opponent can dodge a close attack hundreds of meters away in an instant... I don't even understand what it is. "
A wry smile appeared on the traveler's face.
"Perhaps when the time comes, we will have to seek rescue..."
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 87 Chapter 85 is very simple~
Although he didn't want to admit anything, as time went by, the traveler's heart gradually sank.
- He and Lian Qing were completely trapped in this endless corridor.
This corridor has no beginning and no end. They have been running in this corridor for about ten minutes, but in the end they have not found any way out.
And during this process, the black figure knocking on the wall was always closely following them not far behind them. Once the black figure got close to within five meters of them, Lian Qing had to take action to kill the opponent. Force them back, otherwise they will get a random wound on their body.
But even if Lian Qing's response was timely enough, within ten minutes, there were already more than a dozen wounds on their bodies. Fortunately, the wounds were not deep. They also carried medical supplies with them, but it would not be good if this continued. One way.
"This can't continue like this, we will be eaten alive."
A sword forced the black figure back dozens of meters away. He turned his head and glanced at the traveler beside him. Lian Qing spoke with a gloomy expression.
The opponent seems to have some kind of teleportation ability. Her attacks cannot hit the opponent at all. On the contrary, they have been unilaterally suffering attacks from the opponent. If this continues, maybe they can still It lasts for a while, but when their physical strength is exhausted, it is their death.
"There is no other way down this corridor."
He pulled off a piece of bandage and wrapped it firmly on his arm to cover the wound. The traveler's brows remained furrowed throughout.
Unlike Lian Qing, who only had a few wounds on his body, the number of wounds on his body reached more than a dozen. These wounds looked like they had been cut by sharp broken glass, and often turned into a bright red blood stain at once. Appear.
The closer the black shadow was to them within the five-meter range, the deeper the wounds on their bodies were. Several times the black shadow came within one meter of them, and even came close. So close... The time the black shadow was closest to them, the traveler almost had his throat cut.
-That black shadow is really just a blurry black shadow.
Perhaps the only thing they are thankful for is that the damage done to the other party is not enough to kill them all at once, but if this continues, how long can they last
This corridor seems to be really endless. The door next to it cannot be opened by any method. It is just a decoration. And they can't escape or attack each other. It's almost impossible. It's a dead end.
"No, I must have overlooked some crucial clue..."
Exhaling a breath, he simply sat down against the wall, ignoring the blood slowly seeping out from his calf along the bandage. The traveler's eyes were fixed on the black figure about dozens of meters behind them.
From beginning to end, the other party just repeated a monotonous and mechanical action of slapping the wall with his hand. It looked quite harmless, and even seemed a bit ridiculous, but once that funny black shadow came, When you get within five meters of them, it feels like being cut randomly on your body by sharp glass, which is not that fun.
The traveler was sure that he had definitely overlooked a certain key factor, but he couldn't figure out what he had overlooked.
When the black figure once again approached within ten meters of them - this was the safe distance he had set, but was forced back dozens of meters away by Lian Qing, with a lingering trace of Feeling frustrated, he took out his walkie-talkie and opened the public channel for dialogue.
After he told the channel what happened to his group in as calm a tone as possible, dozens of seconds passed before a voice came from the intercom.
… … … … … … … … … … … … …
"An endless corridor with no way out, and a dark figure that is constantly tapping the wall with its hands and approaching you... By the way, what kind of thing from the underworld do you encounter?"
While kicking open the door in front of him, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows in interest as he listened to the words coming from the intercom.
"I don't know, but we've been trapped for nearly ten minutes... I can't find a way out."
There was a rather obvious sense of frustration in the traveler's words that came from the walkie-talkie.
"Well... please tell me in detail what happened after you entered that corridor."
As he spoke, Bai Zhi glanced at the room in front of him.
The room in front of me was empty, and there was no sign that anyone had ever lived here.
"... That's roughly it. I can clearly know that I have definitely ignored some crucial clues, but I can't figure out what I have ignored."
After repeating his experience again, the traveler on the other side of the intercom sighed helplessly.
"Judging from what happened before, I'm not as good as you. If Lian Qing and I encountered that kind of thing in the stairwell, I might be able to find out the truth in the end, but it's definitely not as simple as you made it look. Calmly, I will not immediately think of children's painting exercises... If anyone else can help me at this time, I think it is only you."
"You just said that the self-destructing robot you summoned and controlled exploded next to the opponent, but the explosion happened next to you, right?"
Bai Zhi didn't stay in this empty room for too long. After taking a rough look around and writing down the structure of the empty room, Bai Zhi turned around and walked out of the door.
"Yes, if it hadn't been for Lian Qing's kick, I would have been blown up by the robot I released."
The traveler on the other side of the intercom answered quickly, even slightly hurriedly, as if he had been attacked again just now.
"So what does that black shadow look like? Does it have a specific frequency when it hits the wall?"
Turning around and walking towards the next room, Bai Zhi still asked the traveler unhurriedly.
"It's just a black shadow with an unclear face. At the same time, the frequency of its tapping on the wall is completely mechanical and rigid, without any changes at all... I have tried to use various general-purpose codes to decrypt it."
After patiently telling the information, the traveler started asking questions with some urgency.
"How about it, have you found any clues?"
"Yes, I already know what exactly happened to you, or it can be said that the hint was actually given at the beginning. It's super simple."
Kicking open the door in front of him, Bai Zhi answered casually into the intercom.
"As for what you said, it's just that your cleverness was misled by your cleverness. It's actually very simple~"
traveller:"… …"
Volume One: The Gap between Virtuality and Reality: Chapter 88 Chapter 86 Oh, the wisdom of mortals
"The hint... was given as early as the beginning?"
Listening to the plain words coming from the phone, the traveler turned his head and looked at the black figure that was always following them more than ten meters away, but he didn't notice any so-called prompt.
"Yeah, in fact, it's just you who makes things complicated... It's just mortal wisdom."
The voice from the intercom was still unhurried.
"Speaking of which, that black shadow has been tapping the wall with its hand. Doesn't its hand hurt?"
traveller:"… …"
Lian Qing: "..."
… God is so damn concerned about whether the other person’s hand hurts! !
"... I also guessed that the reason why the other party has that weird moving ability and why we are trapped here is that the other party is playing tricks. Maybe the other party slapping the wall with their hands represents some kind of ritual, but I didn't even touch it at all. Neither of them can touch each other, this is the most important thing."
He stretched out his hand to adjust his glasses, and there was a hint of helplessness in the traveler's words.
"You also said that the black shadow is just a blurry black shadow even if you look at it from a close distance, right?"
There was absolutely no intention to answer the call, and the other party asked a second question without thinking about it.
"... That's right."
"So it's just the shadows that are hitting the wall~"
"Well… ?!"
A certain thought suddenly passed through his mind, and the traveler suddenly couldn't help but stay there.
"So you mean... this is actually the case!? This..."
I don’t know why, but there was a faint sense of collapse in the traveler’s words.
"That's it~ So don't make things too complicated. In fact, the black shadow only has one ability. If it really had as many abilities as you said, you would have died there long ago. Cut?"
—Click—
The sound of biting an apple came from the phone.
"Oh, the wisdom of mortals..."
"..."
"What are you two talking about? That guy is coming at you again!!"
He glared at the traveler with some annoyance. Lian Qing, who was standing nearby with his sword and listening to the conversation between the two, was confused and rushed forward with his sword again, quietly approaching until he was ten meters away from them. The black shadow within a meter range was forced back.
-She had been doing this over and over again for the past ten minutes.
"I finally know what I was ignoring."
Sighing in his mouth, the traveler stood up from the ground with his hands on the wall rather painfully.
"Actually, what Black and White said is right. I was indeed smart, but I was misled by my cleverness."
"so what?"
Lian Qing, who came back, looked at him coldly.
"... This is a ghost beating a wall."
The other side of his finger was still tirelessly tapping the black shadow on the wall mechanically, and the traveler had a look of pain on his face.
"The black shadow represents the ghost, and it keeps hitting the wall, so this is called the ghost hitting the wall... That's right, the black shadow has only one ability from beginning to end."
"???"
Staring at the traveler with a "you fucking tease me" expression, Lian Qing's words contained quite obvious anger.
"Then what happened when your robot almost blew itself up before!?"
"Because at that time, for the sake of safety, I operated it manually..."
The traveler sighed helplessly.
"Affected by my personal consciousness, it is naturally impossible for the self-destructing small robot to blow up the other party, and this corridor is only more than 20 meters at most. It is absolutely impossible to be so long. We have been in this 20-meter corridor before. Wandering around in the long corridor."
"…So this is just a fucking wall fight!?"
Seeing the dark figure in front of him who was still slapping the wall tirelessly with his arms, Lian Qing cursed in a rare move.
"Actually, I should have thought of it earlier. After all, this is an orphanage..."
There was a wry smile on the face, and the traveler knelt down and summoned the self-destructing little robot again.
"This place is located in the suburbs, and there are no computers or mobile phones. Although there are donated picture books, these things are not explained clearly in the picture books. We know what the meaning of the ghost hitting the wall is, but those children are hearing After that, the impression I had in my mind was probably...a ghost hitting the wall with its hands, right?"
Looking at the black figure not far away, and recalling the situation when he was chased by the opponent before, the traveler's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
"Children, their impression of ghosts is probably like that black shadow... If my guess is correct, then the truth about the ghost stories that broke out in this orphanage... "
Having said this, the traveler frowned fiercely.
[RX-78 Chaser] This skill can summon an induced self-destructing small robot. This self-destructing small robot will automatically pursue the enemy and detonate. At the same time, it can also be freely controlled by the skill releaser.
After the traveler completely let go of control of the summoned self-destructing robot and let it enter the automatic enemy-seeking mode, the self-destructing robot automatically rushed toward the black shadow.
It seemed that the result was the same as before, but the traveler was quite calm about it. However, when he saw Lian Qing beside him lifting her foot again, he suddenly lost his composure.
"Stop, stop, stop! Don't even think about kicking me again, this time it's for real!! The same situation as last time won't happen!!"
"you sure?"
Lian Qing looked suspicious as he glanced at the little robot that was rushing towards the black figure slowly and slightly faster than a normal person.
"Of course I'm sure, you just have to wait."
Seeing Lian Qing next to him put down his feet in doubt, and reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. The relieved traveler felt that his abdomen began to hurt again for no reason.
