Although the black shadow had caused more than a dozen wounds on his body, in his opinion, those wounds were far inferior to the fierce kick Lian Qing had given him in the stomach.
After all, one of the two was a traumatic injury, while the other was a complete internal injury, which also brought a considerable psychological shadow to him.
After all, at that time, if the opponent's feet moved down a little bit more... then he would only have a little.
"boom!!!"
Tens of seconds later, with the sound of an explosion, the scene around them quickly faded, the endless corridor disappeared, and they stood on the corridor on the third floor again.
At the same time, another system prompt popped up in front of all the players.
[A hidden source of anomalies has been solved]
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 89 Chapter 87 The First Death
"… What exactly is going on?"
Seeing that the scene around him finally returned to normal, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Lian Qing turned his head and asked the travelers beside him.
"It's very simple. We unknowingly walked into a fantasy world where ghosts beat the wall."
A little tired, he slowly sat down on the ground against the wall. He took off the glasses on his face and wiped them with his clothes. The traveler had a wry smile on his face.
"This illusion of ghosts hitting the wall is not the kind in the conventional sense, but it blurs our perception of space. So even though we ran here for ten minutes in the corridor, in fact, in the real world, it seems to others If it does, we will just be standing still.”
"So the self-destructing little robot you controlled before didn't explode at all?"
Frowning slightly, Lian Qing seemed to understand slightly.
"That's right, since that black shadow can turn a corridor less than twenty meters long into an endless corridor in our eyes, then the meaning of this is already obvious. Space has actually been in our eyes for a long time. It has been distorted, I thought I was controlling the little self-destructing robot to run to the opponent's side, but in fact the little self-destructing robot was just spinning around me, which is the fundamental reason why I blew myself up."
The traveler sighed in his mouth.
"Later, the same reason why your attacks couldn't hit the opponent at all. Under the influence of that black shadow, we had a wrong perception of space. You thought you could almost hit the opponent. In fact, you There are still a few full meters away from the other party.”
"...Have you ever seen such a ghost beating a wall?"
After listening to the traveler's explanation, Lian Qing's face suddenly darkened.
"I won't complain about the literal meaning of "ghost beating the wall". The real meaning of "ghost beating the wall" means that when walking at night or in the suburbs, you can't tell the direction, and your self-perception is blurred and you don't know where to go. So you keep running around in circles... Are you sure this is really called ghost beating the wall?"
Pointing to a messy small explosion site about three meters in front of them, Lian Qing's voice was terrifyingly cold.
"We cannot use common sense to understand ghost stories, but I can explain it to you a little bit."
After thinking for a moment, the traveler spoke.
"The so-called ghost hitting the wall is essentially that humans have a wrong perception of space, so they will circle back and forth in one place... But do you think those children will understand these profound things?"
"child?"
Lian Qing frowned slightly.
"It's just a little speculation of mine... But the evidence is not enough at the moment. I will tell you when I find enough evidence later."
The traveler sighed in his mouth.
"In short, for those children, they only think this way. Well... "Ghosts hitting the wall" should mean that ghosts are constantly hitting the wall. Since ghosts hitting the wall can give humans a wrong perception of space, Then this ghost should have the ability to manipulate people's spatial perception. Children can just think this way, and then these weird stories can just be set up like this... Can you understand this?"
"You mean, it was the children in the orphanage that caused the strange stories that spread throughout the orphanage?"
Lian Qing's voice was slightly cold.
"I said it's just speculation... If I could have thought of the three words "ghost hits the wall" from the opponent's action of hitting the wall earlier, we wouldn't have been trapped for such a long time."
Looking at the walkie-talkie in his hand, the traveler shook his head slightly, and with a hint of frustration, he put the walkie-talkie back into his jacket pocket.
"To be able to infer this just from a few words of description... I have a hunch that the one with the lowest rank among us may be the most powerful one among us."
"Is it black and white..."
Frowning slightly, Lian Qing turned her head and glanced at the traveler.
"Indeed, he is much stronger than you. You are very self-aware."
traveller:"… …"
"Okay, it's time for us to go explore on our own."
With a wry smile on his face, the traveler stood up from the ground and walked towards the front.
"The strength of this black shadow is still very strong. If it weren't for Black and White, we might really be killed here today, but its defense is quite poor. A small self-destructing robot can take care of it. I originally thought Prepare for more..."
Before she finished speaking, the traveler's whole body suddenly froze. Even looking at it from Lian Qing's angle, she could see that the other party's body was trembling slightly.
"What's wrong?"
While dealing with the wounds on his body, Lian Qing asked the traveler strangely.
"Or did you kill this shadow, so it dropped equipment or skill cards from its body?"
"... The one I just killed was our teammate."
The traveler who turned his head again looked terribly pale, and it seemed that he had spent a lot of effort to spit out the words word by word with great difficulty.
"!!!"
After hearing this, Lian Qing quickly stood up and came to the traveler's side, regardless of the wounds on his body that had not yet been bandaged.
Behind the door frame that had been blown down by the self-destructing robot, an extremely miserable corpse lay there... It was so bad that just looking at it would give you nightmares at night.
Both legs were cut off at the root, making the body look extremely thin. His hands were tightly wrapped with wires that were almost inserted into the bones, and he could not move at all. More than a dozen thick wires came out of the shoulders, and hung on the top of his head. The beam... wire and other related gadgets formed a simple mechanism, forcing the opponent to smash his arm against the wall again and again.
The most horrifying thing was the other party's face full of fear and despair.
The eyes and mouth are all finely sewn with blood-red silk threads, and the lines on the ears are deeply pierced into the scalp - those threads may be white or black, but no matter what color they are, those threads have already It has been dyed dark red by blood.
Of course, these are not the main point. The main point is the tortured corpse lying on the ground. Lian Qing and the traveler both knew each other.
Among all the seven players who participated in this mission, the one who seemed to have just entered high school... the "Ye Ao, Nai Wo" player.

"...Do you usually talk like this?"
Looking at someone who put down the intercom in front of him and started to chew an apple, Xinrou smiled slightly with a tangled look on his face.
She also heard the traveler's request for help on the public channel before, but because the conversation between the two was too abstract, she could be said to have listened to the whole process.
There was a traveler on Lianqing's side who patiently explained to her, but she had to rely on her to make guesses... It was very similar to a math class where she was distracted because of a few distractions and found the blackboard. Everything on it looks like a book from heaven.
"No matter what other people say, they are always asking you for help. Is it really okay for you to be so sarcastic? You don't have the wisdom of a mortal..."
"Oh, my idol is Chu Xuan, Colonel Chu. I am trying my best to imitate his behavior and style."
While eating the apple, Bai Zhi looked away from the room in front of him that he had just kicked open the door. Bai Zhi took out a pair of black-rimmed glasses from nowhere and put them on his face, then turned his head and looked at him with a serious face. Smiling softly.
"Do you think my imitation looks similar? If so, please give me a thumbs up."
"...I bet you don't have any friends on weekdays."
Looking at the face in front of him, the corners of Qianxiao Xinrou's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
"I think too much. How can a person like me, who respects teachers and respects morality, have no friends?"
Bai Zhi curled his lips and walked toward the next room.
"As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father. I have always kept this truth in mind."
"so what?"
Looking at the empty room in front of her, Qianxiao Xinrou shuddered for no reason and quickly followed the other person's footsteps.
"We really need to go one by one..."
"So one day when my teacher leaves Hexi, I will go to the hospital bed to fight for the property. After all, he is also my father. I must have a share of the inheritance."
Suddenly turning his head to look at the other party, Bai Zhi nodded seriously.
"This is the ultimate meaning of being a teacher for a day and a father for a lifetime. How about it? Are you starting to feel moved? Do you feel that your eyes suddenly become particularly dazzling? This is the light of the right path."
"...I mean, do we really need to read them one by one?"
The corners of her eyes twitched slightly, looking at the bandage wrapped around the white arm in front of her, she smiled and sighed helplessly.
"Since everything in the room has been eaten by the house, then there is no point in continuing to look at it, right?"
—Just a few minutes ago, they had just arrived on the sixth floor and experienced another life-and-death crisis.
After walking out of the stairwell or the painting, they successfully reached the sixth floor.
However, the stairs that originally led to the rooftop from the sixth floor showed a weird tilt angle and sank straight into the ceiling. However, their original goal was not the rooftop, so the two of them didn't pay too much attention.
The sixth floor is where the teachers or teaching staff of the welfare home live. Theoretically, you can get quite a lot of clues here. For example, what happened in the welfare home? Where have all the children in the orphanage gone? When did the strange talk appear? … Etc., etc.
But what neither of them expected was that the room on the sixth floor was empty.
This kind of emptiness does not refer to the emptiness in the representative sense, but a real emptiness. The beds, tables, chairs, cabinets and other furniture that should be in the room have all disappeared.
The room was empty, but the floor was spotless, like a renovated rough room that hadn't had time to move in any furniture.
In the innermost part of the room, there is a small notice board facing the wall. This notice board is the only item in the room.
After several thoughts, the two of them finally decided to walk into the room. After all, the room was not big, with an area of only about ten square meters. The door was right here. Even if there were any hidden dangers in the room, there would be no danger. Able to escape in time.
-When faced with ghost stories, it is not advisable to just escape blindly. Sometimes you have to take a little risk.
It's just that the two of them never expected that this room was far more dangerous than they imagined. After taking a few steps to the small notice board, before they could see clearly what was on the notice board... the whole room suddenly... alive.
This life was a life in the literal sense. The whole room seemed to have turned into a living body. The door was the mouth of the room, and they foolishly walked into the mouth of a living body.
However, since he dared to come in, Bai Zhi was still prepared and risked being bitten. After grabbing the sign and putting it into his backpack, Bai Zhi pulled Qianxiao Xinrou and escaped into the shadows. Then he safely exited the door.
The cost of doing this was that Bai Zhi's arm was bitten by this room, and a large piece of his clothes was torn off. Originally, Bai Zhi wanted to use a tape stapler to fix the wound as usual, but instead He was stopped by Qianxiao Xinrou, who unexpectedly became stronger, and could only let the other party bandage his wounds.
But in this way, Bai Zhi and the others finally understood where the missing furniture in the room... or rather the human beings had gone.
It was valuable to take the risk to obtain this information. After understanding that the cannibal room could not move and could only passively hunt for food, their safety was greatly improved.
You only need to stand at the door and kick open the door to see clearly the layout of the room. You can clearly see which is the cannibal room and which is the normal room. After all, the cannibal room is easy to distinguish because it is empty inside. .
"Of course, I don't believe that all the rooms on the sixth floor have turned into the kind of cannibal rooms. After all, you can find normal rooms. And don't underestimate this kind of cannibal room. The rooms are great value.”
Shrugging, Bai Zhi threw the remaining apple core into the empty room in front of him.
As soon as the apple core hit the ground, it was swallowed up by the blank room in a few seconds.
"...Value? What can such a thing be used for?"
Looking at the blank room in front of him, Qianxiao Xinrou's whole body suddenly felt shuddering when he thought about how he was almost eaten by this kind of room just now.
"Infinite trash cans."
After looking at her, Bai Zhi looked matter-of-fact.
"Do you know how much money the country spends every year to destroy all kinds of garbage? Now, as long as there is such a room, whether it is nuclear waste or other non-recyclable hazardous and toxic waste, all can be thrown into this room. , clean, environmentally friendly and pollution-free. Think about it for yourself, what a great progress this is!?"
"..."
Smiling softly and speechless.
Volume 1 The Gap between Virtual and Real: Chapter 91 Chapter 89 Diary
To be honest, Xiaoxiao Xinrou couldn't understand the guy walking in front of her.
If she hadn't stopped him before, the other party would have definitely used the kind of treatment method that makes people feel toothache. Can staplers and tape really play a therapeutic role
Also, in this extremely dangerous environment, surrounded by strange things, the other party can still put his mind on such a completely useless way...
"It's useless? What do you know?"
As if he saw what she was thinking, he glanced at her and saw a sneer on his face.
"Power does not distinguish between good and evil. It only depends on the method of use and the person who uses it. Take this cannibal room as an example. If this room is discovered elsewhere, it will be protected by the country as soon as possible and become very important. Do you believe in strategic resources?”
“…just to be able to eliminate garbage easily, quickly, safely and without pollution?”
The corners of Xinrou's mouth twitched slightly as she smiled.
"Ordinary people are on the second level when they think about things. Fools are on the first level. Geniuses are on the atmosphere. Do you know which level you are on?"
Bai Zhi glanced at him.
