"Calm down, baby." He Qin said, "You saved yourself, and you also avoided the risk of losing your teammates. Compared with this possible result, the increase in difficulty is already the lightest price."
Wen Zheliu sighed. While the two were talking, He Qin suddenly stopped talking and looked behind Wen Zheliu with his eyes narrowed.
Wen Zheliu didn't understand why, so he looked back and saw Li Tianyu standing behind him, his face flushed, pinching his fingers nervously, and not saying anything.
What's going on here
He asked: "Miss Li, do you have something to tell us?"
"Yes, um... yes, yes, what I have is... uh..." Li Tianyu looked embarrassed. Not far behind her, Chen Feiluan was talking quietly with Lin Miao, looking up from time to time.
He Qin smiled politely and said simply: "Okay, you're welcome."
Seeing that Li Tianyu was choked and choked, he asked very gentlemanly: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Li Tianyu's eyes flickered between Wen Zheliu and He Qin, and she instinctively felt that she should say something else. Finally, she said dryly: "Um, um... no, that's it... thank you, goodbye. "
Wen Zheliu: "... She just came to say thank you. I thought she wouldn't say thank you to others with her personality."
He Qin: "Otherwise, do you expect her to have anything to say to you?"
Wen Zheliu rubbed his nose: "It's true that we saved her, but it was also for ourselves... There's nothing to be thankful for."
"It would be great if everyone could think like you," He Qin shrugged his shoulders, with a hint of affectionate ridicule in his tone, "soft-hearted little darling."
"Fuck you." Wen Zheliu said bah bah bah at him.
After their respective discussions, the players gathered together to exchange opinions. Wen Zheliu explained the boss's weaknesses to them, and truthfully told them the opinions he and He Qin had guessed.
"If you say so..." Bai Jingxing touched his chin and started thinking.
Xie Yuanyuan looked left and right, and suddenly asked: "Hey, do you think the residents in this town can still be considered alive?"
"...Why do you ask that?" In order to avoid the awkward situation of no one answering the question - as long as Xie Yuanyuan is around, his presence will always make this awkward situation on the court - Du Zijun had to speak first.
"Just...because some novels, movies, and TV series often write about cult sacrifices and the like. If the boss was really a member of a cult, wouldn't the residents of the town have been sacrificed by him long ago..." The more he said, the more his expression changed. The face is getting uglier, and the originally fair face has turned a little blue now. "What appears in front of us now is a ghost who didn't know that he had been dead for a long time. He lives his life as usual during the day and turns into a ghost at night... "
"Stop talking!" Li Tianyu couldn't help but feel horrified when he thought that the hotel owners and chefs he had been in contact with for so long were inhuman things. He hurriedly interrupted, "Why are you scaring yourself like this?"
"It's very possible." He Qin's expression remained unchanged, and he agreed with a relaxed and relaxed smile. "The chef during the day became the butcher at night... You must know that one person cannot present two completely different postures. Even if you have a split personality, you can’t completely change your appearance in a short period of time.”
"Have you changed it?" For some reason, Li Tianyu no longer dared to refute the handsome and elegant man in front of her. She hesitated and said, "If it is for the effect of the show, can you do it with makeup?"
He Qin shook his head. Wen Zheliu took over and explained to Li Tianyu: "But now that I think about it, the chef's eyes were a normal brown color just now, but last night, the butcher's eyes were a little unnatural gray. He When I open my mouth, the tongue coating is dull and there are purple and black bruises on it, which is really not something that can be achieved with makeup.”
Li Tianyu stared at him suspiciously: "How did you notice this? Have you been observing him?"
"No," Wen Zheliu denied honestly, "I just pay more attention to it. It's a personal habit."
"In any case, there is no need for us to waste too much time on this." Bai Jingxing said, "We know nothing about the rules and conditions of the Escape Carnival, so we have to make plans for various situations."
"Just looking at this name makes me feel like my whole family is going to be mobilized." Xie Yuanyuan muttered.
Xi Ling said: "If the boss breaks us up, then we will try our best to use the communicator to rendezvous with our closest teammates, and then make plans."
"On the other hand, if the boss gathers us together and wants to kill them all, we will have to use various means to disperse and escape to avoid the end of the entire army being annihilated." Chen Feiluan said.
"When you encounter characters like the Butcher blocking your way, no matter whether he is a human or a ghost, you must not be soft-hearted," Bai Jingxing added, "When necessary, it doesn't matter if you kill them all, no matter how simulated these intelligent life forms are."
Du Zijun stopped wiping the gun, chewed a cigarette in his mouth, raised his eyelids and said lazily: "Is it our turn to speak?"
Wen Zheliu looked at He Qin, and He Qin glanced down at him with helpless and conniving eyes: "Then let me tell you. The map scope of the Battle Royale Carnival is likely to expand to surrounding towns, and there is a high probability that the team will be separated. , each person prepares a map. When the time comes, we must get here at all costs, and then go find the hotel owner."
"Ah?" Before everyone could finish digesting the information that the map might need to be expanded, the last sentence left them a little confused.
Bai Jingxing pushed up his glasses, and a white light flashed through the lenses. He looked at He Qin inquiringly: "You mean the hotel owner?"
"I can understand that if the hotel owner is regarded as a key NPC, then we really need to find him. However, this approach is not without risks." Xi Ling analyzed it steadily.
"But what's the use of looking for him?" Xie Yuanyuan wondered, "If he also transforms at night, then we are not asking for death."
At this time, the door of the room was suddenly knocked three times. The players immediately stopped talking. Wen Zheliu cleared his throat: "Please come in!"
As he said, the hotel owner opened the door and walked in with a tea tray: "Guest, your hot tea!"
"Thank you." He Qin said politely, but Xi Ling was uncharacteristically different. He stood up from his seat and ran over to help the hotel owner bring water like a real innocent little boy. Although the boss has a bad temper, his attitude towards the children is still very gentle. He looked at Xi Ling who was busy, and couldn't help but sigh, and the stubborn and deep wrinkles on his face softened. He murmured softly: "As old as Shasha... What a good age."
Many people heard his words, but they all remained silent. Wen Zheliu asked: "Boss, where is the waiter named John?"
When John was mentioned, the boss's tender look suddenly turned into an active volcano that was waiting to erupt. He blew out thick breath from his nose and cursed hatefully: "Damn beast, he knows how to be lazy and lazy and lazy all day long! Now I’m afraid I’ve run away to sleep somewhere long ago!”
Thinking of this, he felt that he could not stay here for long, so he hurriedly said goodbye to the players. Before leaving, he took one last look at Xi Ling, and then strode angrily to find the missing waiter.
Xi Ling watched him go away and slowly closed the door. The moment he turned around, he changed from the enthusiastic kid who was willing to help others back to a rigid and indifferent child with high IQ. The speed of his face change was amazing. Zheliu was a little stunned.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but remember the Zhou brothers and sisters who parted ways with him in the City of Melancholy, and didn't know how they were doing now...
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Xi Ling's ups and downs and flat voice: "I touched it, and the body surface temperature was slightly higher than normal, and the heartbeat and pulse were normal. He should be a human being."
Everyone stared at his little face, their expressions a little strange for a moment. Even Wen Zheliu laughed dryly a few times, thinking that this kid could become the leader of a celebrity club at his age. To some extent, He really has some skills.
"In this case, the risk of coming back to find the hotel owner has been reduced a lot," he said. "Just follow what I said. Even if the hotel owner is not a key NPC, we still have to go back to this town to complete the main mission. "
"—The premise is that the scope of our activities really expands to surrounding towns." Bai Jingxing said, "Just in case, let's go out now and see where to buy maps."
During the silent and long wait, everyone was not idle. They carefully studied the map they bought downstairs and found that the idea of expanding the scope was really not a joke. With the town of Melios as the center, there are several main roads radiating around it, connecting four towns, large or small, far or near. This distribution route simply tells players clearly that you have to go. Take a good walk around these places.
"What are you going to do? Are the soldiers coming to cover up the water and the earth?" Chen Feiluan smiled bitterly, "Is this a reward for us all passing on the first night?"
Wen Zheliu appeared silent on the surface, but felt a little tormented in his heart.
His teammates all thought it was Happy Dawson who he and He Qin had teamed up to fight off, but in fact only he and He Qin knew what the specific situation was, and Du Zijun and Xie Yuanyuan, who had even a hint of the inside story, wouldn't let them see it. Say it, but say it anyway…
"It's a good thing." He Qin said casually, "Since everyone has cleared the level on the first night, can you show your courage and pride as a big group member? Why worry about life and death and treat it as an ordinary person? Wouldn’t it be nice to watch the game?”
"Easy said, easier said than done." Lin Miao shook his head, "My family is still waiting for me to go back outside. I don't want anything to go wrong here. Once something goes wrong, it will be the end of eternal separation between heaven and man. This does not depend on resurrection. It can be solved with coins.”
"So you see, this is the contradiction." He Qin raised his sharp eyebrows and raised an evil smile on his lips, "You are all one of the top players in Nova City. To get to this point, you need brains, courage , belief, luck, the ability to seize opportunities, your tactics and strategies, and even your talents are all indispensable, and among them, the most easily overlooked, the most important point is your own feelings towards the game."
"Whether it is an addiction to the feeling of victory, a love for a fantasy world, or even simply liking a certain plot or a certain NPC in a certain game world, this can be regarded as the motivation that can support you to continue. But. When you get here, you want to get to the top of the pyramid among hundreds of thousands or even millions of players, but you are also tied up. You take every step carefully, not thinking about how to play well, but only thinking about how to survive - Fish and Bear Is it possible to have both? If you do this, it will be very difficult for me."
"If you want to pass the level alive, or even to the end, isn't it so easy? Smash all your equipment for defense, pile up all the medicines to save your life, and huddle in a corner as soon as you enter the world. If you survive the maximum number of days, you can still be granted by the system to pass the level. Evaluation, why bother working so hard, compressing time, and analyzing this and that, isn’t it tiring?”
"... If you want to get something, you must give up something else." Wen Zheliu agreed in a low voice, "This is the rule of the world."
The large group of players were silent, unable to find words to refute He Qin, but at this moment, a harsh and sharp electronic buzz suddenly passed over the town!
Everyone jumped up in an instant and hurried to the window to take a look.
Happy Dawson's uncontrollable and crazy laughter immediately resounded throughout the town: "Dear audience friends, distinguished guests! Welcome to the special midnight fun show, Escape - Carnival!!"
Li Tianyu's face turned pale, and he suddenly looked back at the pendulum clock: "What?! But it's not even twelve o'clock yet!"
The author has something to say: Sorry, it's a bit late today, mainly because I will start high-energy tomorrow, and I still feel unsatisfied after writing and revising it...
