'Drip-drip-'
A piercing siren sounded in his ears, and the sound gradually changed from blurred to clear. Xie Xuan opened his eyes suddenly, and found that his eyes were dim, and he couldn't see the specific scene clearly at the moment, only the siren in his ear was still distant and near. , ringing continuously.
'Drip-drip-'
'Player Shen Mu... the 8th game of Suspense Game...drop...error...drop...number 4...'
The sound in the ear was intermittent, and the siren sound was mixed with unclear system noises. Now that he got used to the dim light, the scene in front of Xie Xuan gradually became clear.
This is an extremely empty and gloomy alley, or a passage, surrounded by walls with no visible material, everything is shrouded in gray. The passage leads straight to nowhere, with no end in sight, and the rear is also the same passage as the front. Xie Xuan scanned for a week, but there was no one around, or even anything.
Still separated
The remaining warmth in the palm has not dissipated. Is this the place where the 8th game is played, or...
"Huh." While looking around, Xie Xuan noticed something on the wall not far away.
It seems to be... a corner, another passage.
'Drip...fan...drip...mobile phone...'
The intermittent system sound continued, Xie Xuan's eyes narrowed as he suddenly realized the meaning of the message.
The system is already in chaos, but there is still a part of the system that is still running to maintain its functions. Before the official restart, this part of the system does not know how much power it still has. In a very likely situation, it still has the right to rule the life and death of the violating player-if the current 8th game is not played according to his request.
But in this way, what is the 8th game, maze? ... Xie Xuan walked towards the fork in front of him while thinking. Not surprisingly, the fork in the road was just like this passage, it was a gray road without any people or decorations. It is not even possible to determine whether the maze here is the map of the 8th game, or the result of system chaos.
'Drip-drip-'
At this time, only Didi's alarm sound remained in my ears, and the system sound stopped, as if the admission rules had been announced.
Xie Xuan's heart moved, and he looked at his clothes. It was still the same simple uniform as in the previous game. The number on the chest was also the same as the number 4 in the previous game, and there was also a familiar mobile phone quietly lying in the pocket.
Xie Xuan turned on the phone and was taken aback for a moment.
"Fan? Another fan?"
Turning on the phone is the same familiar rule as the previous game. Regarding the rules of the fan werewolf killing game itself, it can be said that there is almost no difference in word compared with the previous game, even including the fact that all players can discuss together regardless of the order of discussion - except for one point, players are prohibited from leaving their seats.
Because, the difference is that the character status interface has changed. From top to bottom on the left are three players No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3, and on the right are also three players No. 4 to No. 6, and each player has a fan on his head. At this time, every fan is foggy, and the specific content cannot be seen clearly. In the middle of the interface is a large dialog box, and the input method keyboard can pop up below.
This round is still a round of fan werewolf killing, the difference is that this is a round of net killing, text killing.
As in the previous game, there are still no personal missions.
'Drip-drip-'
In the lower right corner is still the familiar countdown. At this time, it is still reading the regular time. Xie Xuan took the mobile phone, did not put it back in his pocket, and ran directly along the road ahead. Whether the 8th round is like this, or this is not the map of the 8th round at all, there is no way to verify it now, but what is certain is...
I don't know how long it will take to collect information, but if we can't find a way to stop it before the system restarts, the system is restarted, and we temporary 'files' put into the system, will there be any good fruit to eat? How likely is it that it will be emptied
Taking a step back, even if we only lose our sanity temporarily when the system is restarted, we can regain consciousness after the system restarts. Then those of us who are halfway through the process, have you saved it? Which step has it been saved to? Should we continue with the 8th inning as it is now, or start over in the 7th inning from the moment when something went wrong just now? Or, go back to the first game, or even restart the reserve game
Even so, that's all. If the worst result is just this, it's not unacceptable. The most serious problem now is that if the system fails to restart, the system will be forcibly formatted. At that time, we who have not left the system will be wiped out as data!
And once the soul is erased, the real body will die directly.
A drop of cold sweat dripped from the corner of Xie Xuan's forehead, and the steps under his feet did not relax at all. In any case, the worst must be prevented from happening,
Now…
For now, the only way is to find the end of this maze as soon as possible, and treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor—if this is not the map of the 8th game, but a part of the system itself, Xie Xuan has a hunch that there may be an opportunity to change something at the end.
What kind of broken system is this? Why is there no progress bar for collecting information? Xie Xuan couldn't help cursing in her heart while running. When my computer has a bug, there is a progress bar for collecting information and errors...
You have such a large system, you must, collect slowly!
A few minutes later, the scene in front of me gradually changed, this time it was a three-way intersection.
Xie Xuan paused for a second, without much hesitation, and went straight to the middle. If you hesitate at this time, you will lose. Without any clues, every second of hesitation is a waste of time. The only thing you can fight for is time and luck.
This promenade is also as dark and empty as ever, only my unclear footsteps and the alarm sound in my ears are recalled. Noticed that the time on the phone was three minutes before the official start of the 8th inning. At this time, the scene ahead gradually changed, and something seemed to be in the middle of the road.
Xie Xuan slowed down his pace, gradually approached, squinted his eyes, and saw that the figure fell in the middle of the road... seemed to be a person
A woman in white with long hair.
… A motionless long-haired woman in such a ghost place is actually not a good sign.
Xie Xuan sighed, luckily there is no time, otherwise I would have to hesitate whether to change the road. Walking a few steps to the vicinity of that person, one can already see that it is indeed a long-haired woman, or a young girl, who does not seem to be very old. Although she fell on the ground, it can be seen that she is not tall, and her eyes are closed tightly. , clothes tentatively considered neat.
Xie Xuan frowned and walked over.
Grab her arms.
The other party was still motionless, but the feel and temperature of her hands... Xie Xuan felt for her pulse, and breathed again, her pupils became darker and darker.
The girl is dead.
Turning her over, there was a clear pinch mark on the girl's neck. Sure enough, it was artificial.
The number hanging on the girl's chest is a capital '8'.
"!" is number 8? ! In other words, she and herself are not in the same game!
In other words, this is indeed not my own map of the 8th round, but some kind of common... In other words, it is very likely that it is really a product of the disordered order of the system itself!
Maybe there really is some kind of twist at the end!
But she would lie here, which also showed that things were not as simple as she thought.
Xie Xuan had a guess in his mind. The players here don't necessarily wake up at the same time. It hasn't been a few minutes since I woke up, but the girl is obviously dead, at least an hour.
The players are likely to wake up one after another, and according to the number of players who wake up each time and the corresponding number of rounds, the remaining running system puts them into a new round in turn.
The fact that girls can appear here shows that this is a common environment, which is of course a good thing. But again, I don't know how much time has passed before I wake up. I don't know... how far the restart information of the system has been collected.
And if they were all word killers like herself, there was no reason for her to die here. Besides, her clothes were neat, and it was impossible for anyone to see the system failure and be stimulated to become beastly, and wanted to do something to the little girl.
Is someone assigned to a completely different rule, or because of the chaos of the system, unexpected chaos has occurred among the players...
It can't be said that the current situation was unexpected, Xie Xuan smiled. Knowing that the system is about to be restarted and formatted should be all players, and it is completely natural to fall into despair and create a terrible chaos in despair.
Especially in a social creature like humans, fear and despair are contagious.
The current situation should be that different players, at least most of the players, are randomly scattered in a certain place. After walking by myself for less than 10 minutes, I met the first person, which means that the distance between the players should not be very close together, but if It is hard to say if it is completely random, the distance between any two points can be close or far.
But she will fall here, maybe what will happen in front of her. Xie Xuan lightened his pace, changing from a fast run to a trot. It's useless to be too hasty at this time. The player is more terrifying than the system, so be careful.
'Drip-drip-'
The alarm sounded in the ears continued, and the countdown on the mobile phone also entered the final moment.
The 8th game of Suspense has begun.
The fuzzy faces of the fan inserted on the original 6 number plates gradually became clear. My number 4 had a big question mark with white characters on a black background, and the remaining 5 people had...
No. 1: Villager;
No. 2: Villager;
No. 3: Villager;
No. 5: Sheriff;
No. 6: Werewolf;
Xie Xuan: "???"
Xie Xuan: "..."
Xie Xuan had a very, very, very, very bad premonition.
How do you think about it... am I the poor and helpless wolf partner of this poor and helpless No. 6 on the field? ! This is a slightly violent
If a little information is revealed, the game will be lost! !
The only hope now is that I'm an independent player.
At this time, text appeared on the screen, Xie Xuan slowed down his progress a little, and focused on the screen.
Number 3: What the hell is this? Playing this kind of game for the first time, what does it mean to be able to see other people's identities but not your own
Number 2: I've played this one before, but that's a few rounds ago.
No. 5: Compared with this, what is the situation now? where are you all Did you hear that announcement
Number 6: Got it! I'm in a dusty place, there's no one around, and there's a beep ringing in my ears, I'm so scared! where are you all
No. 3: My surroundings are also dusty, and my ears keep ringing. I still don't understand this rule. What do we do now? Do you still need to play this game? The system restarts immediately. …
No. 1: Let's play, it's my first time playing this game, but I should understand the rules.
Xie Xuan trotted while reaching out to type: I agree with No. 1, this game will end in 10 minutes. If the system has not restarted after 10 minutes, and we did not play the game according to the rules. The system may still punish us.
No. 2: Huh? ! No way, isn't there a bug in the system
No. 5: I think what No. 4 said makes sense. If you don’t want to play on No. 2, you can abstain.
Xie Xuan: Let me ask a question, was anyone in your last game a fan game
Number 1: None.
Number 3: No, I haven't seen it.
Number 6: I haven't seen it either.
Number 5: I don't.
No. 2: Me neither, I didn't say I don't want to play, I just discuss it.
Number 1: Ah, the number 4 opposite me, let me ask you a question.
Xie Xuan: You ask.
No. 1: Do you think I look like this No. 2? Or does number 3 look alike? Or does it look like number 5, or does it look like number 6
"Pfft." Xie Xuan couldn't help laughing at No. 1's description.
"Huh?" There is a new fork ahead, go straight, turn left and turn right ahead.
Xie Xuan stopped.
Faintly heard, in which direction, besides the sound of Didi, there seems to be a little noise coming from
Xie Xuan turned his ears sideways in three directions and listened hard.
The sound seemed to be coming from the passage on the right front, this sound... like someone arguing? Or fight
Avoid this path, or just choose this path
Xie Xuan lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly came back to his senses, and looked at the phone again. In a short time, several lines of new words have been refreshed on the screen.
Number 1: Are you still there on Number 4
Number 1: Is this question difficult to answer? Forget it, let me ask you on number 5, do you think I look like number 4
Number 5: Let me ask you first, do you think I look like Number 6
Number 1: Well, I think you look a lot like Number 6.
No. 5: Oh, that's fine. I think you look a lot like No. 4.
No. 1: Well, then we should look alike!
Number 5: Right, so you get it? If you didn't lie to me, then the four of us should all look alike. Right, number 6.
No. 6: I think we: 4 should be pretty similar, if you didn't lie to me.
No. 2: What's the situation? Why is no one talking to me? Am I in the independent camp
No. 3: Same as above.
"?" Xie Xuan asked with a question mark.
Grass, what's the matter
... This is because No. 1 casually opened up a god-like head. Now No. 1 villager and No. 5 sheriff both think they are wolves, so they are lying to each other and trying to draw each other into their wolf team? My day.
Xie Xuan was too frightened to speak, for fear of saying too much and making mistakes.
There are two simple villagers No. 2 and No. 3 left, one seems to be doubting whether he is an independent camp, and the other does not understand the rules...
At this time, No. 1 and No. 5 started a new round of enthusiastic conversation.
No. 1: No. 2, do you think you are in the independent camp? Anyway, I'm not from the independent camp, so I can't tell you. Do you believe me when I tell you
Number 5: What do you not understand about Number 3? I should have figured out the rules, I can talk to you about it.
So positive, so enthusiastic, so proactive.
And the real wolf himself and No. 6 huddled in the corner as quietly as chickens.
Although it shouldn't be at this time... Xie Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"let me go… "
The squabbling in the right passage continued.
Hey, this voice... why does it feel a little closer than it seemed at first? Are they moving this way
After thinking about it, Xie Xuan replied on the phone first.
No. 4: Sorry, there seems to be a fight on my side. Are you all right
While typing, Xie Xuan flashed into the middle passage which was at an acute angle from the passage on the right. In this way, if someone comes over immediately, they can't see the situation here, but they can see what they are doing.
This message on the phone immediately attracted the attention of others.
Number 1: What? There's a fight over there, all right? where are you
No. 6: No one seems to be fighting on my side, but I picked up two things on the road, and it feels like someone dropped them.
Xie Xuan listened to the movement in the corridor next to her, and replied on her mobile phone: My side is full of gray corridors, one after another, like a maze. They haven't come here yet, so I'm a little scared.
No. 1: It's okay, don't be afraid, you have to be careful, don't worry about the game, we won't lose.
Number 5: Yes. You have to be careful!
Xie Xuan: "..." Just stop when enough is enough! What should I do if I was noticed by No. 2 and No. 3 on the opposite side!
But I thank you all, although the car looks like it might turn over at any time... But I will never forget the excitement and happiness you brought me at such a critical moment.
Number 3: Number 6, what did you say you picked up
No. 6: A mobile phone, similar to mine, but it can't be turned on anymore, as if it was dropped? There is also a purple bead, which feels about the size of a glass ball, and it doesn't look like glass, but like jade.
Xie Xuan took a breath for a moment: "!"
Number 4: What did you pick up? ! Where did you get the beads you mentioned! Is it a bead that is cool in the palm of your hand and will not be warm
Number 6: It is such a bead, how do you know? I just picked it up in the same corridor as the phone, I don't know where.
No. 4: No. 6 you, is there any landmark building near you
Number 6: No, if there were, I wouldn't have to run around like a headless chicken.
No. 3: What is the bead: No. 4, do you know what it is? Why are there glass beads here
Number 4: This bead is related to the game.
Xie Xuan replied quickly: I once picked up a red bead, which is actually a kind of red permission, which can directly stop the game I was in at that time, whether it is the winning or losing player, can Advance directly to the next round.
No. 3: ... and this kind of thing?
number 1:! ! !
Number 5: No, wait, what are you talking about, number 4, are we playing a game of suspense
Number 6: Oh my god...
No. 2: But No. 4 is talking about red beads, and the one in No. 6's hand is purple. Is there a difference
Xie Xuan: There must be a difference. After that incident, I paid special attention to this kind of beads. Later, I found out that someone had had a yellow bead. Common bead colors are supposed to represent different permissions.
No. 6: How to use purple? What does purple represent? Can we stop this round? The system is about to crash, and I still have to play this ghost game.
No. 2: The red skill is to stop, and the purple should not stop temporarily.
No. 1: Maybe? Might as well stop
Next, the difference is just the number of times. If red stops once, maybe purple can stop twice!
No. 5: Don't say it, it's not impossible! So how to use this kind of beads, shouting at it
Number 6: Number 4, how are these beads used
Xie Xuan: Wait a minute, I have a problem here.
The quarrel gradually became clearer.
Listening to the voice, it seems to be two people, it seems to be, a man and a woman
