The bread fell down and landed on An Wujiu's lap, he glanced down, then raised his eyes to look at them.

Ueno didn't comment on Liu Chengwei's actions just now, and even put on a smile and urged, "Take a bite." But An Wujiu had no appetite at the moment, so he smiled back at Ueno, "No, thank you."

Ueno didn't respond, just glanced at Liu Chengwei. Liu Chengwei clicked his tongue irritably, picked up the bread on An Wujiu's lap, and suddenly grabbed An Wujiu's chin with his other hand.

"Why are you standing still?" Liu Chengwei kicked An Wujiu's lower abdomen, pressed his legs against his legs, fixed him on the sofa with such a drastic method, and shouted back to Ueno, "Give me a hand." ah."

An Wujiu guessed that they didn't just come to deliver food to him, but Liu Chengwei was pressing him down like this, the knee of the other leg was directly pressing down on his badly injured wrist, An Wujiu couldn't resist at all. He struggled and saw Ueno forcefully stuffed the dry and hard bread into his mouth, he shook his head in protest, Liu Chengwei pinched him even tighter, almost crushing his face.

"Cough! Cough cough!" The bread almost choked into the air duct, An Wujiu had no choice but to swallow it, coughing unceasingly.

"It should work..." Ueno asked Liu Chengwei, "As long as you eat it, the mission will be successful."

Task…

Sure enough, it was to complete his mission.

An Wujiu, who was coughing with his head down, blushed. The forced food, along with the humiliation, choked him.

Liu Chengwei laughed, "That means, I can also grab it? I'll try."

"You only have two chances." Ueno was afraid that he would suffer, and tried to stop him.

Liu Chengwei didn't care at all. On the one hand, he desperately wants to deflate and embarrass this so-called "strong" guy, so that he can get great satisfaction. On the other hand, he believed in his abilities and knew that he would not be reduced to having nothing.

"I just grabbed it."

He took away the half piece of bread that An Wujiu didn't eat that Ueno "kindly" donated, and the floating label on the bread suddenly changed to [Liu Chengwei].

Liu Chengwei laughed, "It's really possible!"

Ueno stood on tiptoe and took a look, "Ah, it will be yours so soon."

"What are you afraid of? Haven't you already completed the task of sharing food? It's still time for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. By then, your supplies will be doubled, so you're much better than me."

"Too."

They left talking and laughing like this. Before leaving, Liu Chengwei kicked An Wujiu because the bread he vomited had stained his shoes.

Leaning on the sofa, An Wujiu, who was depressed, suddenly had an idea in his mind, a strategy that could save himself, but was rather vicious.

But he quickly gave up, as decisively as a cigarette butt. He even had some self-doubt, feeling weird that he could come up with such a method.

Sitting quietly for a while, when An Wujiu stood up, it was past eleven o'clock. Thirst made him move instinctively, and he walked to the place where Shen Ti was standing before, but now the other party has disappeared.

Finally, An Wujiu stopped in front of the low cabinet. After a while, he picked up the bottle of champagne abandoned by Shen Ti, and took a big sip from the mouth of the bottle.

The taste is not bad.

He raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, picked up the wine bottle and walked towards the other door of the living room, which led to another long and winding corridor. The gloomy narrow passage was dark and had no end, and a circle was installed every meter on the wall. An Wujiu couldn't see clearly what kind of device it was. Whenever he passed one, the thing would light up suddenly, a lamp in the shape of a baby angel, but with only the head of an angel.

One after another, they glowed behind An Wujiu, and then went out.

He walked slowly, only to realize that this is not a straight corridor, but a corner.

There was the sound of a conversation, but it was so low that An Wujiu couldn't hear the content clearly. He immediately stepped back before stepping past the lamp, standing in the darkness.

His footsteps were so soft that they were barely audible, so the other party didn't notice him. Based on the memory of the voice, they could vaguely recognize Yang Ming and Ueno.

Although he couldn't hear the content clearly, An Wujiu also noticed something strange. Different from Yang Ming's previous state of wanting to control everything, in this conversation, the timid Ueno obviously talked more, but Yang Ming just responded without saying anything.

If you want to hear clearly, you have to get close, but An Wujiu doesn't want to take the risk.

Soon, the conversation fades away and eventually dies away. He heard the footsteps of two people and scattered inward.

After standing quietly in the corridor for a while, An Wujiu also walked in.

The structure inside is more complicated. At the end of the corridor is a small square-shaped porch with four or five doors, one of which is a Baroque-style circular arch carved with exquisite angel statues. Above the arch is a suspended, Projection of the words [lounge]. Originally, the white arches were supposed to set off a delicate and sacred sense of art, but it was probably still in the morning, and the lights were not turned on here. The dark green projection became the only light source in the dark porch, and even the holy angel relief on the arches became very strange.

An Wujiu turned his head, the projections on the other doors were [Piano Room], [Reading Room], [Reference Room] and [Conference Room], and behind the door was a long and deep winding corridor.

The structure of this bunker is very suitable for secret meetings.

Behind the door in the [lounge] is a new porch. As soon as An Wujiu opened the door and went in, he saw Zhong Yirou's back.

The porch is spacious and slightly brighter than the previous porch, with eight different carved arches, marked with numbers from 1 to 8 and names of people.

[1 Yang Ming], [2 Zhong Yirou], [3 Ueno Dacheng], [4 Wu You], [5 An Wujiu], [6 Lao Yu], [7 Shen Ti], [8 Liu Chengwei]

"It's not completely ranked according to the value of survival, is it?" Zhong Yirou said directly without turning his head.

An Wujiu didn't pretend, he hummed lightly.

She turned her head and smiled at An Wujiu, "You walk silently."

"Then how did you find out?" An Wujiu asked.

Zhong Yirou raised her eyebrows, "Girl's intuition." After she finished speaking, her eyes showed some deliberate apology, "What should I do? You are completely targeted now."

An Wujiu didn't say anything, he was judging the attitude of this woman.

"I said it directly." Zhong Yirou raised his hands, "I can't help you right now."

She called up her own parameters, and a fluorescent green blood bar immediately appeared on the top of her head, "My force value is the lowest, even if I use it to nurse myself twice, I only have three blood bars. If we really fight, I will fight with you." Unable to help themselves."

Hearing her being so straightforward, An Wujiu felt much more relaxed. He thought of something, and asked in a very slow voice: "What will happen if you die?"

"Didn't Shengyin say it? Brain dead." She tapped her temple, "Didn't we all enter the game cabin in reality? That thing is like a capsule. If it is really dead, it will be confirmed in 24 hours." There is no suspended animation, and the device in the capsule automatically ejects us into the processing plant to be recycled into fertilizer." After she finished speaking, she showed a disgusted expression, "This method of death is not elegant at all."

"How do you know?" An Wujiu asked.

Zhong Yirou paused for a moment, that face that was always in high spirits and full of charm rarely showed a gloomy expression.

"I've seen it with my own eyes."

She frowned slightly, and quickly let go, with a candid look coming very quickly, "When I entered the capsule, my little sister was next to me. We made an appointment to come out together, but she just... took a step ahead .”

Hearing this, An Wujiu was a little moved, he had already started to think of comforting words in his mind, but his mouth couldn't keep up, and Zhong Yirou preempted him.

"So," she didn't hide it, "in order to survive, I may stand by Yang Ming's side."

An Wujiu nodded, but did not speak.

His well-behaved and sensible appearance made Zhong Yirou more suspicious of Yang Ming's words. She kindly provided a strategy, "If you are like this, you might as well establish a good relationship with Ueno or Liu Chengwei. One of them can copy the materials, and the other can snatch them. Maybe they will share some with you."

An Wujiu didn't speak, and he didn't intend to tell Zhong Yirou what happened just now. But Zhong Yirou was too clever, and kept staring at her flushed cheeks.

The feeling of being scrutinized was uncomfortable, An Wujiu tried to walk away. He noticed a thick-looking book pinned to the wall next to door 8, and walked towards it.

"You don't really plan to let everyone survive safely, do you?" Zhong Yirou followed him and stopped in front of the book.

"Do you think I... am lying?" An Wujiu reached out to the book.

This book looks like it has been around for a long time, and this page cannot be opened, as if it has been frozen for a long time, covered with a thick layer of dust.

"Yang Ming said too much like that, but when you said those words, my heart was still a little moved. I haven't met a good person at the altar for a long time, even if I pretended He looks like a fake nice guy."

An Wujiu smiled, but didn't speak.

"Idealists will become short-lived ghosts here."

Seeing him open the book, Zhong Yirou also leaned over, blew away the ashes on it, and read the contents of these two pages aloud. There were many blank spaces and few words, and everything seemed to be requirements.

"1. All players need to enter the personal rest room at night. After 12 o'clock in the morning, the hypnotic gas will be released in the whole range to force them to sleep (except for employees using the staying up skill). After falling asleep, the player will not wake up until 6 o'clock in the morning. , the player will gradually wake up.

2. Before twelve o'clock on the first night, you can enter the room next to the lounge where you are, both left and right, and other rooms are not allowed, and No. 1 and No. 8 are also considered as neighbors. Using coercive means to enter other rooms is considered a foul (except for wanderers using skills), and half of the energy value will be deducted.

3. If you have stayed in another room on the first night, you need to follow the path of the first night to enter the next room on the second night. If you have not stayed overnight, you can use both left and right paths, and so on.

4. You can stay in other people's rooms without fouling the rules. "

After reading, Zhong Yirou thought for a while.

"What a strange rule, like playing chess." She turned her head to look at An Wujiu, with an expression that her point of view needs to be recognized.

To satisfy her, An Wujiu also nodded.

"So, for example, you." She stood at the door of Room 5, "If you don't want to go to your room tonight, you can only go to Room 4 or 6, and the next night you can only..."

"Go to No. 3 or No. 7." An Wujiu continued.

"That's right." Zhong Yirou stood in front of No. 5 door and thought, "But according to the regulations, you will be forced to fall asleep at twelve o'clock. Even if you go to other people's rooms, what can you do? Could it be something indescribable?" thing."

Obviously it can be regarded as a nasty joke, but the expression of An Wujiu in front of him is completely calm, and his eyes are even very innocent. He repeated Zhong Yirou's words, with a little questioning tone, "It's indescribable..."

After saying these words, door No. 7 suddenly opened from the inside with a snap.

It's Shen Ti.

Shen Ti walked out wearing a red hooded earphone shaking his head.

Zhong Yirou was startled by him, "Why are you here?"

Shen Ti pointed to the number 7 on the door and his name, stretched out his hand to open his door handle, opened the door, closed it again, then walked to the door of No. Turning to face the two of you, raised your arms and crossed them in front of your chest, making a "no" gesture.

Zhong Yirou squinted her eyes, turned her head to look at An Wujiu, her voice was very low.

"... Is this man dumb?"

An Wujiu shook his head and pointed directly, "He... just said something."

Wearing a mask, Shen Tichong tilted his head to An Wujiu, and put his hands on his waist to express his dissatisfaction.

Zhong Yirou directly ignored his movements and continued to ask: "What did you say?"

An Wujiu paused for two seconds, as if hesitating, but finally took a breath, put the wine bottle in his hand on the ground, and covered his mouth with his hand.

"ah."
