Survivorship Bias

Chapter 80: Guide to make mistakes

Views:

The rainbow potion is constantly sprayed, meaning they can't go to the next room to check for clues, or risk the distortion.

The story told by Yang Erci made everyone sigh, and everyone fell silent by coincidence.

War does not only exist in the period of time when it starts and ends. The land that once flowed with blood still has poisonous wounds today.

The poison seeps into the ground, blooms into flowers, bears fruits, and finally is metabolized and eliminated by generations of flesh and blood.

An Wujiu lowered his head, his eyes fixed on his toes, the child just now kept appearing in his mind.

He didn't hurt anyone, and he didn't act like an NPC to guide or issue tasks. He just appeared suddenly and then disappeared.

Not like the NPCs who were put here to wait for them, more like the ghosts trapped in the old place in the movie.

Little Bear's last words still ring in my ears.

Not just the sentence just now, but all the words it said after entering the second floor.

Especially the sentence to Josh, "There is a circus performance tonight, please open the door on time, Mr. Clown."

He rolled up his sleeves and looked at the digital watch on his watch, it was still at 3:20:41 in the morning.

Except for him and Shen Ti, no one else had a watch on their hands, and there were no clocks hanging in the corridor, not even a single window.

How would they know if it was day or night.

There must be something showing the time.

"How many rooms did you try to open in that half of the room just now?" An Wujiu asked Josh.

Josh thought for a while, "I only tried three, all of which were locked and couldn't be opened, and it said the children were out."

An Wujiu thought for a moment, "Our ultimate goal is to escape from this detention center, but the purpose of the first floor is to find the door leading to the next floor and get the fragments."

"The door on the upper floor only appeared after the Jiugong grid was displayed on the ground, that is to say, Nanshan broke the illusion of space, and finally the door appeared in the space between me and Shen Ti."

"And the fragments are obtained after cracking the work log and cracking the door. So this time, it is not certain what illusion will be there, but the work log is likely to exist. If you find the log, you have a chance to get the fragment."

After listening to An Wujiu's analysis, Josh had a much clearer understanding of his mission, "So my work logs must also be hidden in these rooms."

"I think so."

Zhong Yirou leaned against the wall, perhaps because of the severe pain just now, her face was extremely pale, "Then how did you find the gate?"

Shen Ti seemed to be sleepy, stretched his waist, and said something in a very lazy tone that made everyone feel inexplicable.

"Or let's go into groups."

"Group?" Josh didn't understand. "But on the first floor, it was because we were separated that we each entered a different space. Doesn't this increase the difficulty of the game?"

An Wujiu shook his head, "I also think we can divide into groups."

This is a very risky proposal, but An Wujiu wanted to try it.

"I want to bet." He said, "Different floors may have different ways to prevent us from finding the door. The first floor is to spread us apart, and we can't get out like hitting a wall."

"But those who come to the second floor are all people who have passed the test of the first floor, and have found a way to break the illusion. I am afraid that the altar will set up a different method."

"But it's not certain." Yang Erci said, expressing her concerns.

"Of course." An Wujiu said with a calm expression, "In fact, I hope that after we separate, we will find that we can't find each other like last time. It's fir."

Nan Shan, who had been smiling all the time, seemed a little out of spirit at the moment, but she still responded to An Wujiu's words, "No problem."

"How to group?" Wu You fast forwarded to the next question.

An Wujiu thought for a while, "We can't be too scattered. There are two themes on this floor, so we might as well divide them into two teams, so that the efficiency of searching work logs will be higher."

Zhong Yirou suggested, "Let's just do it this way, Rainbow Baby has already inspected three rooms, plus we have all gone through it once, the task load is relatively small, just three people, and the remaining four go to Double Angel's side. "

Yang Erci nodded, expressing his agreement, and then pointed at the place where they were standing, "We are in a group of four, An Wujiu, you three in a group."

The "you three" she said were him, Shen Ti, and Josh.

"I want to be with Brother Wu Jiu." Wu You expressed dissatisfaction.

Shen Ti stood facing him, pulled the lower eyelid of his left eye with his index finger, and made a face at him, "Your brother Wu Jiu will only be with me."

An Wujiu was helpless against his childishness, but still comforted Wu You, "You can go with Nanshan, I feel more at ease with him here. If you find any suspicious information, let Josh go there, he should have authority."

Since they were divided into different spaces on the first floor, information could not circulate.

"After we separate, call each other's name after a while, and both parties respond to make sure everyone is still in the same corridor."

Zhong Yirou nodded, "Maybe I will meet NPCs pretending to be players this time. If there is another person who is alone, don't believe it directly, try it out first."

"Um."

In this way, they divided into two teams, Zhong Yirou, Yang Erci, Nanshan and Wu You went to the other side to find clues.

Seeing that the other four people had already walked towards the [Double Perfect Angel] on the other side, Josh also moved closer to An Wujiu, "When will we go back to this rainbow corridor just now?"

An Wujiu was standing on the other wall of the corridor, in front of the wall in the "back" structure. This wall, like the other walls on this floor, was painted with a whole painted mural. There are all kinds of small animals on it, including monkeys, tigers, elephants and rabbits.

"Wait for a while." An Wujiu knocked on the wall in front of him, there was a muffled sound from inside, like a broken drum.

When he finished knocking, he heard another knock. Turning around, I saw Shen Ti's fingers bent, tapping on the wall on the other side of the room. He knocked several times, and the wall in front of the door made a muffled sound, while the wall between the room and the wall in front of the room sounded very solid, without a sense of space.

Shen Ti raised his chin facing the wall in front of An Wujiu, and directly pointed out what An Wujiu was thinking, "Behind that wall is a circus."

"But there is no door yet."

Shen Ti smiled, "Maybe it's not night yet."

What the two said stunned Josh, who was standing aside, and couldn't react immediately, "What are you talking about? Is this a circus?"

"I think it's possible." An Wujiu turned around and leaned against the wall, "Although the building area of each floor is reduced, the pattern is unlikely to change, so the middle of this floor should also have a large area. Apart from here, I can’t think of any other place that can be used as a circus, not to mention that there is indeed a space behind this wall.”

While talking, the corridor at the end of Rainbow Baby suddenly stopped spraying potions, and the small planes turned into miniature jars disappeared in an instant.

Everything returned to the way they had just entered this floor before.

"You're just waiting for them to stop spraying?" Josh didn't understand. "How do you know he's going to stop?"

An Wujiu said softly, "I guess."

He didn't explain the reason, because he felt that it was a bit cruel to say the reason.

But Shen Ti behind him said directly, "Because the guide made mistakes and punished education."

"The guide made a mistake?" Josh had a puzzled look on his face.

Shen Ti touched his earring with his hand, and said in a casual tone, "If you only spray it once and continue, then everyone will know that it will be deformed after getting the medicine, but because everyone will hide in a safe area, this distortion will not be affected. It will disappear soon. Such a process is not enough."

"Trying pain once is far less profound than experiencing pain repeatedly."

Josh's chestnut hair was disheveled, his brows were furrowed, and his face was full of sadness.

An Wujiu's footsteps also stopped, because he was very curious, why Shen Ti was always able to understand his own thoughts in the first place.

He is not someone who has his thoughts written on his face.

Shen Ti moved his fingers while continuing, "But if the spraying is over for a few minutes, and everything returns to normal, the players will definitely try to walk into this half of the corridor again, because there are still tasks that have not been completed. At this time, they will be lucky Psychologically, there is still a little timidity, but the longer the normal time, this timidity will decrease, and the heart that was originally lucky will become more and more at ease."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands together, jolting Josh who was in deep thought.

"Spray the medicine at this time to deform the player and experience the pain again, wouldn't it be more profound?"

Josh froze in place.

"What you said is too scary." An Wujiu stared at Shen Ti with those black eyes, and there was a little complaining expression on his usually calm face, "Josh was scared."

Shen Ti smiled brightly, "I'm just saying what's on your mind."

He wrapped An Wujiu's shoulder very smoothly, and said in a pleasant tone, "Well, next time I will do less processing."

"Josh." An Wujiu turned his head, called Josh who was distracted, and said soothingly, "Follow up, it's safer this way."

"Are we being guided by the altar now?" Josh's light brown pupils shook slightly, as if he was very nervous.

An Wujiu still stepped into the other end of the rainbow, "We just saw through their guidance in advance, and used it as a clue instead."

He took Josh's hand and asked him to try to unscrew the door of the nearest room, but the same prompt as the first few rooms still popped up.

[D03, today is a play day, and the children are not at home. ]

Not at home means that these rooms are the children's residences

Why are you not at home? Isn't this a closed shelter

Shen Ti looked at the other side, raised one hand, put the palm next to his mouth, and yelled.

"Little-ghost-"

Not long after, there was a response in a bad tone.

"It's annoying, shut up."

Josh tried the next one again, but it couldn't be opened either.

An Wujiu reminded: "The interval between spraying the rainbow potion should not be very long. Once the rainbow tin can appears, escape to the other side."

"Does it hurt us?"

"I just saw that Yirou and Nanshan's condition is not right, I don't know if it is because of this reason." An Wujiu thought for a while, and felt a little unreasonable, because his condition is actually not bad.

Zhong Yirou on the other end was indeed as An Wujiu said, she felt something was wrong, as if the previous illusion was still in effect, and at this moment she could still smell the rotten breath of the first layer.

And her breathing was also very abnormal, and the inexplicable suffocation made her unable to breathe.

Nanshan was relatively better, but he stopped Wu You, and found an injection from somewhere, and stuffed it into Wu You's hand.

"What are you doing?" Wu You looked defensive.

"If I accidentally fall asleep, give me an injection." Nan Shan rolled up his sleeves, "On the arm."

"Why did you fall asleep?" Wu You couldn't understand, looked at the needle in his hand, and then looked up at him.

Nanshan said frankly, "I have central narcolepsy, and I may collapse anytime and anywhere. I need someone to inject a central nervous system stimulant for me to wake up immediately, otherwise it will take a long time."

Wu You didn't know what to say for a while, but he still put away the injection with a cold face.

"If you lie to me, you will die."

Yang Erci was a little skeptical, "You have this kind of disease, how did you survive the last round?"

Nanshan smiled and said: "It's a bit regretful to say it. I happened to encounter a Chinese-style horror game in the last game. I thought I could show my skills, but I was very excited at the beginning. But I was stunned halfway and no one knew. Even the killer Many NPCs from players thought I was a dead person, so I woke up at the end of the settlement and settled with everyone. However, the final score was not too high. For such a professional game, I only got the lowest level of points. It's a bit of a loss."

Can this work

Wu You's face collapsed, and for a moment he had the evil thought of throwing away his tube of medicine.

Sure enough, he is not a serious Taoist priest, but a bastard.

Several rooms here are also locked. Unlike the Rainbow Baby just now, the walls here are not ordinary paintings, but more like picture books related to physical education, a beautiful forest with lush vegetation and flowers Incomparable. But a closer look reveals a flower-like uterus and other hidden reproductive organs.

"It's strange." Wu You, who had been observing the wall, came to a conclusion, "It's full of little boys, why are there no girls?"

Zhong Yirou also looked at the wall, her lips became paler, and the scene in front of her eyes appeared double due to dizziness, but she still tried her best to hold her breath and concentrate. But just looking at it like this, I found a little girl with draped hair behind a red maple tree. She hid behind a tree, wearing a red skirt, with only half of her body sticking out, which is very cute.

"Isn't this the little girl?"

Wu You heard the sound and came over and took a closer look.

"It's obviously a boy with short hair and overalls."

How can it be

Zhong Yirou read it again.

This time, the child on the wall actually stood out from behind the tree. On her right side she had loose long hair and was wearing a red skirt, while on the left side she had short hair and was wearing blue overalls.

Not only that, but the child opened his smiling mouth, and the tiny lips opened and closed in the painting.

"Sister, do you like boys or girls?"
