In the lobby of Nuoda, there are basically people wearing mainly gray and black tones, pushing carts in an endless stream.
This scene should have been a lively and bustling supermarket shopping scene, but among the many people in the entire hall, surprisingly no one made any sound, only the crunching sound of the cart rolling across the ground.
Everything in front of me seemed like a black and white silent film from around the 1950s, with scenes of funny and silent black and white mimes playing out.
No one knows who built this large square, no one knows who manages everything here, and no one knows when these fresh ingredients were transported here... Everything is a mystery.
Since she had been here twice before, Zhenggu Heming seemed to be quite familiar with it. In addition, her psychological quality was already good, so there were no major mistakes.
Although the rules in the halls summarized before seem complicated, in fact there is only one if they are simplified.
The first factor to survive in this weird hall is to make yourself as unobtrusive as possible, and staying here for the longest time is also among the most eye-catching. Inside.
Although Zhenggu Heming had already tried his best to speed up her speed, because of the note written by a certain guy, she was still the last floor manager to leave this hall. There were thousands of people gathered there. In the strange hall of people, there are only a few people left at this moment.
While cursing the other person in her heart, she pushed the trolley quickly towards the elevator where she came from.
This was a night no different from the previous two nights.
-Originally.
Coincidentally, just after Zhenggu Heming pushed the cart into the elevator, a dull gunshot came from the hall behind her.
Turning her head in disbelief, Zhenggu Heming saw a large amount of blood sprinkled on a searchlight in an area not far away from her, and an eyeball connected by long tentacles. Fell from a high altitude.
Only then did she see clearly that the light source that illuminated the hall was the discussion lamp that shrouded each food area. It was clearly the wide-open eyes of some strange creature...
Thinking of the fact that he had walked under the gaze of these eyes before, Zhenggu Heming felt an inexplicable chill all over his body.
Before she could see too much, the elevator door in front of her had already closed, and then the elevator began to move autonomously and quickly according to its original rules.
Although he could not see the end, Zhenggu Heming could already confirm one thing in his heart.
... The guy who dared to shoot is definitely dead.
… … … … … … … … … … …
At seven o'clock in the morning, the lights came on on time.
After flashing each other's identity information, the mostly listless crowd sat down around the table in the rotunda.
Today is their fourth day in this apartment.
"Due to the attack that occurred during the day, I went to the supermarket after 9pm last night to investigate."
Shenwu Tianxie was the first to speak seriously.
"As Black and White said, after nine o'clock in the evening, all the mannequins and puppets there came to life. In order to protect my own life, I started a fierce battle with them... In the end, I won!!"
"So you went over tonight?"
After glancing at the other party, Meng Qi rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"So, have you found any valuable clues?"
"Uh... I haven't found any clues, but I seem to have lost something there..."
Holding his hands, Shen Wu Tianxie looked thoughtful.
"It feels like it's something very important, but I can't remember anything. It's all a mess in Bizhang's backpack... What exactly is missing..."
"Okay, I can confirm that this guy has lost his moral integrity."
Turning her head directly, Meng Qixia spoke.
"Compared to this guy, I did find a lot of valuable clues. According to my speculation, this apartment has a certain suppressive effect on ghost stories. Night and darkness are the carnival times for those ghost stories."
"Did that person contact you again last night?"
Not surprised, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What's that one called... the one who never smiles but pretends to be a double cultivator?"
"That's right, but the name is "Smile without staining your cheeks."
Meng Qixia snapped her fingers.
"Because I followed your advice during the day and after thinking about it, I felt that what you said made sense, so when she contacted me again at night, I scolded her regardless of the situation. Dun, successfully took the initiative in discourse!!!"
"..."
In unison, the other three people's eyes were all focused on Bai Zhi.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Putting his head on the table with one hand, Bai Zhi rolled his eyes.
"He was the one who implemented the idea, and the person who was scolded was another guy. What does it have to do with me who came up with the idea?"
"...What happened next? What happened next?"
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he turned his head to look at Meng Qixia. Zhenggu and Ming asked each other a little speechlessly.
"Logically speaking, you scolded her indiscriminately. If she were a normal person, it would be impossible for her to communicate with you calmly, right?"
"No, she gave me a lot of very important information after that."
Meng Qi's face was filled with joy.
"Not only did she tell us the exact date of death, but she also gave us a friendly reminder that we had fallen into a certain death trap without knowing it. At the same time, she also told me in quite detail about the action patterns of those strange stories. He is an out-and-out good man!!”
"???"
"During the day, those strange stories are hidden in the darkness, and due to the restrictions of the apartment rules, they will not actively attack the residents of the apartment. But at night, especially after the lights are turned off, these strange stories will attack those who appear in the dark. The creature attacked and eliminated a special case... But she didn't tell me what this special case was."
When Meng Qi said this, he looked regretful.
"On the seventh day, we will all die, that's what she said."
"Wait a minute, I have a question for you... What were her exact words?"
Raising his hand, the night owl asked this question with a weird look on his face.
"[Just wait, you damn bastard, just wait for the end of death in despair when the seventh day comes!! Your whole family is shit!! Just wait to die!!!]"
Opening up his hands, Meng Qi looked innocent.
"That's about it."
Everyone: "..."
Volume 1: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 170 Chapter 167 Zuan’s big stage, if you have a mother, come
Meng Qixia's words undoubtedly revealed a lot of information, but everyone's focus is different.
Shenwu Tianxie is concerned about the news that they will die in seven days, Zhenggu Heming is concerned about the news about a special case that will not be attacked by ghost stories in the dark... The night owl is concerned about when his arm will It can be less painful.
- What Bai Zhi is concerned about is the description of a certain death trap in Meng Qi's words.
"What is a death trap? Did she say it?"
Bai Zhi reached out and knocked on the table, then asked Meng Qi.
"Uh... That's not true. Maybe it's because I scolded you too harshly."
A little embarrassed, he reached out and scratched his hair, and Meng Qi spoke in a sullen voice.
"In the end, she not only deleted me as a friend, but also added me to the blacklist. I couldn't ask any more questions."
"...So how harshly did you scold me?"
"Ahem...I am a Zaun player."
Meng Qixia coughed a few times, but quickly spoke seriously.
"Of course, that was in the past. Ever since my dad chased me for three streets with an iron rod to kill my parents, I changed my mind. This time, it was because of the special circumstances that I returned to my old business."
"..."
"Although she didn't go into too much detail, she did say that we have now entered that death trap and are gradually accelerating our own death."
After thinking for a moment, Meng Qixia spoke again.
"Anyway, I felt that the guy I was chatting with seemed to be restricted by the invisible rules of the apartment, so he couldn't go into too much detail. If he hadn't been scolded by me and was so angry, he probably wouldn't have said it in one breath. Having said that... do you think what that guy said is true or false?"
"Have you walked into a certain death trap... I understand, if that's the case, then everything will make sense."
Bai Zhi frowned fiercely and exhaled in his mouth.
"If this is really the case, then we may not be able to wait until the seventh day and will die on the fourth or fifth day..."
"So, can you please stop being dumb... What exactly is the death trap you are talking about?"
Really unable to stand someone's malicious betrayal, Zhenggu Heming couldn't help but ask.
"Huh? It's very simple. According to my speculation, the thing we must do every day is probably the death trap."
Bai Zhi took out an apple from his pocket and took a bite. Bai Zhi looked calm and composed.
"The thing I do every day... is it eating? There is... bah, is there poison in the poop!?"
Meng Qi had a serious look on his face.
"No, I think it might be water."
Shen Wu Tian Xie Shen touched his chin with his hand.
"Maybe the water is poisonous, and we must drink water every day."
"...Is the fitness room open with limited hours every day?"
They had no intention of paying attention to the two live treasures, and the expressions on Zhenggu and Ming's faces looked very reluctant.
"But there shouldn't be anything there..."
"Efforts and risks are directly proportional. There is no such thing as a pie in the sky. Do you really think that the fitness room is a benefit for us?"
Bai Zhi also ignored the two idiots and shook his head slightly.
"Actually, I started to have doubts in my heart from the beginning. It would be better if I would be attacked by monsters while exercising in the fitness room, but you have also seen the result. Not only is it very safe, but It can also quickly improve our basic attributes... This is a death trap that speeds up our death."
"What's the reason? Just because of your inference?"
Zhenggu Heming frowned.
"The system's prompts are not false. Our basic attributes have indeed been improved, and the benefits are real."
"Have you ever fished?"
Before Bai Zhi could reply, Night Owl suddenly spoke.
"If you want to catch fish, you must hang one or two pieces of bait on the hook. Although the fish that are caught eat the bait, the price they pay is their own lives. "
“Is that…bait over there in the gym?”
After listening to Night Owl's words, Zheng Gu and Ming were slightly stunned.
"Don't think about getting something for nothing. In this world, if you want to get something, you have to pay the same price."
Bai Zhi took a bite of the apple on his hand and curled his lips.
"Although it is just a guess, we don't have the courage to try it because we can't afford the gamble. Let's put it this way, if one of us reaches full value in the three basic attributes of strength, constitution, and agility, then He will definitely be the first to die...that's my theory about this death trap."
"But this is only yours..."
"Yes, it's just speculation, but do you dare to bet?"
Bai Zhi casually threw the remaining core of the fruit into the cup on the table that he had taken out to hold the note on the first day, with a noncommittal look on his face.
"You still have to go to the fitness room, but you'd better grasp this speed and never let your three basic attributes reach full value, otherwise something terrible may happen... "
"Uh... Then it should be okay to reach 14 o'clock, right?"
It seemed that he had summoned his attribute panel and looked at it. Meng Qi asked cautiously.
"Make your own judgment... Now that the issue about death traps has been clarified, let's move on to the next topic."
As he spoke, Bai Zhi pointed to the cup in the middle of the round table.
"The note I put here last night disappeared. If it's not what I expected, the ingredients I requested have been placed over there in the ingredients area."
"so?"
Looking back at the table, Meng Qi looked a little strange.
