Views:

Zhou Yue soon found Duan Qun's body lying on the ground.

Duan Qun looked very bad, he had a fatal wound on his chest, the knife went straight into his heart, killing him in just a few seconds, his clothes were stained with blood seeping from his heart, the blood It smudged on the clothes, like a beautiful and bright red flower blooming on his chest.

Zhou Yue looked at Duan Qun silently, then squatted down and touched Duan Qun's wrist to test Duan Qun's body temperature.

He is dead.

Zhou Yue clenched Duan Qun's wrist tightly, feeling Duan Qun's body temperature becoming colder and colder. With the flow of the other's blood, Zhou Yue seemed to be able to feel the life flowing out of this body, and Duan Qun would completely disappear in the In this world, but where will he go after death, Zhou Yue doesn't know.

Zhou Yue waited for a while, and finally let go of Duan Qun's wrist. The reason why he wanted to test Duan Qun's body temperature was to determine whether Duan Qun was another killer.

The killer is "immortal" in the game, no matter what kind of damage he receives, the killer's body will always be in a state of slow self-healing... and this self-healing state can be slightly controlled by the killer, he can speed up his body's recovery Repair can also slow down this repair, but whether it is accelerated or slowed down, this repair is automatic, and the killer cannot stop this repair, because if you stop it, you will die, and during the repair process, the body temperature of the killer will gradually raised.

Zhou Yue also didn't remember how long he had been reincarnated in this game. With rich experience, he summed up a truth. Players in this game, whether they are humans or ghosts, will always disguise themselves, and their disguise ability is very good. Very tough! Even if you see a person dead, lying on the ground covered in blood, without breathing or pulse, you must not immediately conclude that he is dead, but touch his body temperature.

Even if his body temperature is very low and gradually getting colder and colder, you have to wait patiently, because his body temperature may suddenly rise after waiting for a while.

No matter how fatal the injury, such as smashing the killer's head open, smashing it to pieces like smashing a big watermelon, even then, the killer will not die.

A killer blessed by the God of Death card is like a monster. You can tear it apart, quarter its body, kill it at the head of a horse, and chop it into pieces of meat, but the pieces of its body can still wriggle and slowly gather piece by piece. thereby returning to fullness.

You can even chop the killer into pieces and scatter them around, such as throwing some of them in the river, burying some in the soil, and hanging some on trees... But these actions are meaningless, the killer scatter the pieces of meat With his brain as the center, the pieces of meat that are far away will decompose and dissipate directly, and then the killer's brain will re-grow blood vessels, bones and internal organs, and the killer will return to its original shape in about ten minutes.

Of course, there are not many "humans" who can cause devastating damage to the killer, and there are very few "humans" who can chop the killer into countless pieces of meat. After all, the killer is immune to pain and anesthesia. He feels no pain; he's lightning fast and powerful; he's impossible to grab, and you can't even get close to him easily.

The killer's strength, speed, physical fitness and other values are usually drawn according to the physical value of the strongest human on the human side. That is to say, the killer will always be several times stronger than the strongest human on the human side. He and the human side can only unite and help each other, work together, and make the best use of the cards given by the system in their hands.

But the marginal world game system is very cunning. The system always puts a group of people related to the map together. These people always have some disconnected connections with each other. They may or may not know each other, may have hatred or kindness, Bringing them together under such circumstances will greatly stimulate internal conflicts, so the human side usually cannot truly "unite" to fight against the killer.

Ever since, in this terrible killing game, the longer you stay and the more experienced you are, the old players will gradually realize that becoming a killer and winning is much easier and easier than becoming a human and then successfully escaping. You will also get special rewards that humans can't get.

However, this by no means means that there are no benefits to being human.

Zhou Yue did not search for the card on Duan Qun. The sacrifice card was useless to him. I am afraid that the other two people who killed Duan Qun did not take it away, because this card is really useless. Zhou Yue has experienced such a card. In many games, I haven't seen any players use it.

The Hanged Man card can only be used by a living player against a dead player. Holding this card, he silently recites the name of the deceased, and then sacrifices himself to resurrect others. But what a great and selfless act it is to sacrifice oneself, at least in this marginal world full of sinners, Zhou Yue has never seen such a selfless person.

Zhou Yue mainly paid attention to the footprints left by Shi Wen and Lu Jiayi next to Duan Qun's body. Because both Shi Wen and Lu Jiayi stepped on the motor room, their footprints were stained with a little viscous diesel oil, Zhou Yue relied on this and the pungent smell of diesel oil to trace their traces, but with their actions and time With the passage of time, their footprints and scents will become lighter and lighter, so Zhou Yue must find them as soon as possible, so as not to lose their tracks.

Find them and kill them.

Mu Qin, who is the favorite and favorite, is excluded, the useless newcomer Rong Yuxi, and another newcomer Duan group are excluded. Zhou Yue knew that among the remaining Shi Wen and Lu Jiayi, one of them must be "another killer". But Zhou Yue didn't bother to guess who the killer was, he always liked to adapt to the situation, and he never doubted his own strength.

Double ghosts is a game that is more difficult for both humans and killers, because there are only six people in total, except for the two ghosts, there are only four "humans". If the killer wants to survive, he must meet the basic requirements of killing two people. condition. If two ghosts can communicate and coexist peacefully, and even help each other, four humans are enough.

However, one important point must be paid special attention to! Generally speaking, if a person who was not killed by the killer himself died, whether it was by the hands of other humans or by an accident on some map, as long as he died, half of his head would be counted to the killer.

Suppose there are two killers A and B in a game, and there are four human beings A, B, C and D, and human A is killed by killer A, then killer B will not get the half of human A's head!

What's more interesting is that if another human B dies in this round, but neither of them died in the hands of A or B, then after this person dies, both A and B will be counted as half heads.

That is to say, in the double ghost game, if the two ghosts don't kill anyone, and let the four humans kill each other or all die in accidents, the basic condition for the two ghosts to "kill two people" is amazing. , can still be satisfied.

But if they do this, the reward points they can get are very low, 1,500 points for the heads they kill themselves, and only 500 points for half the heads they don't kill themselves.

One head is only 1,500 points, and two heads are 3,000 points. If the two killers A and B split the four humans in half, plus the fixed 2,000 points for leaving the map, they only get 5,000 points in total, which may be hundreds more hunting points.

But 5,000 points is pitifully small in this game, and it will only increase your physical value by five points, or buy a garbage deck in the mall, which is not enough to strengthen your skills. If you don’t try to save as many points as possible, the game The opponents you meet in the later stage will become more and more powerful, and if you don't have better skills or physical fitness, you will die quickly.

Therefore, most double-ghost games are competitive games. Once the two ghosts realize the existence of each other, they will go all out to grab the head like crazy. But humans are not just waiting for you to kill. Humans who get good cards or have good skills are the best at escaping. The map is so big that ghost players can only find humans by following the clues of those humans. It is very likely that you are human. Even if they didn't find it, the human side had already opened the door or ran out with the escape tool.

So sometimes, killer A in the double ghost game may encounter such an embarrassing situation, for example, he has already killed a person and got a head, but other humans have run away, or they have all been snatched away by killer B Human head, what to do then? Waiting to die like this

No, the system will still give players a chance.

Generally speaking, if there are no humans in a map, the map will end and the killer will be teleported back to the safe house. But the double-ghost game is different. In the double-ghost game, human beings run to death. After running, the two ghosts can stay on the map for a period of time. There is a limit, and they can stay for about an hour.

This hour is reserved by the game system for the two ghosts to kill each other.

The killer cannot be killed by anyone, but can be killed by another killer, and after killing, not only will it be counted as a head, but you will also be given three thousand "lone wolf points" for free - a special bonus point for killing other ghosts.

Zhou Yue has only got one head now, and it is absolutely impossible for him to kill Mu Qin. The stabbing of Mu Qin just now made Zhou Yue feel uncomfortable for a long time, and now his hands tremble when he thinks about it. Zhou Yue originally wanted Mu Qin to feign death and get out of the sight of another killer, making the other killer think that Mu Qin was dead, thereby misleading the other side, at least keeping Mu Qin in a safe situation for a period of time, and Mu Qin has enough Time to open the door to escape the amusement park.

Although Zhou Yue knew that with Mu Qin's character, he would definitely not act according to Zhou Yue's ideas, and he would definitely mess up on his own, but at least Mu Qin was mature and stable enough, and he would do well, better than Zhou Yue imagined. The ones in the middle are even better.

Zhou Yue didn't think any more. He left Duan Qun's body and followed Shi Wen and Lu Jiayi along the trail. Now that the amusement park has power supply, many places are gradually lit up, even the street lights on both sides of the road are on. , the traces left by Shi Wen and Lu Jiayi on the ground were quite clear, and Zhou Yue followed them silently.

At this time, Shi Wen and Lu Jiayi had already walked a certain distance, Lu Jiayi noticed the traces they left on the road all the way, she seemed to be a little panicked and said to Shi Wen: "No, that guy named Zhou Yue, It is estimated that they will follow in our footsteps."

Hearing what Lu Jiayi said, Shi Wen discovered the footprints they left on the ground along the way... especially Shi Wen's footprints, because they were stained with too much diesel oil, there were some black stains, leaving a series of obvious marks on the ground. The traces are when the surrounding street lights are on, and the light makes their footprints particularly obvious.

Shi Wen said to Lu Jiayi: "Are you sure he will really catch up with our footprints? Before the lights were not on, the surroundings were pitch black and we couldn't see clearly, so he might not be able to see our footprints. "

Lu Jiayi glanced at Shi Wen, smiled a little weirdly and said, "Of course he can catch up. Have you forgotten the profession he mentioned when he introduced himself?"

Shi Wen suddenly realized and knocked on his head: "Yes, he is a trained soldier, he must have basic investigative ability..."

As he said that, Shi Wen looked at Lu Jiayi in embarrassment: "Jiayi, what should we do? Between the killer and the killer...can we kill him?"

"Yes, only ghosts can kill ghosts." Lu Jiayi said, her eyes rolled, and then she reached out and grabbed Shi Wen's arm, showing a gesture of dependence: "Shi Wen, since there are reversed demons, we will Take a fight and find a way to kill the other ghost, in this case, there will only be the two of us left in this game, and if there are only two of us, it will be very convenient to act without the interference of others."

After listening to Lu Jiayi's words, Shi Wen also thought it was reasonable, but he was still a little hesitant, and said: "I really should find a way to kill him, but I used the reverse demon, wouldn't I..."

"Don't worry." Lu Jiayi knew what Shi Wen was worried about, so she lowered her voice to comfort Shi Wen and said, "Doesn't that guy named Mu Qin still have a medical card? I will bring it to renew your life at that time. "

Shi Wen still had feelings for him: "That place is too far away, it's far away from our previous office building, what if it's too late? You also know the sequelae of the reversed demon."

Lu Jiayi stretched out her hands to hold Shi Wen's face, and looked at Shi Wen with gentle eyes: "Don't be afraid, my dear, when we kill that Zhou Yue... Do you remember that there is a magician on him? You turn it into become the Reversed Hanged Man, and I can use it to sacrifice myself to save you."

Shi Wen immediately relaxed after hearing this, and said: "You are still smart, Jiayi."

Lu Jiayi smiled at Shi Wen with his eyes bent: "Besides, we may not be able to use this inverted demon."

As she said that, Lu Jiayi pointed to the haunted house with half a skull not far away, and she said, "Let's go down to that haunted house and ambush Zhou Yue in the haunted house. If he dares to come down, we'll catch him off guard." If he doesn't come down, how about we bypass him and go back to the office building to retrieve the cards and key cards from the corpse?"

Shi Wen also agreed to the "ambush" proposal, nodded to Lu Jiayi, and said, "Okay, let's go there first."

Saying that, the two walked into the haunted skeleton house not far away, and went down the stairs of the haunted house to the inside of the haunted house. From time to time, some weird puppets will pop out to scare you, and there are speakers hidden in the dark playing weird music. The road in the haunted house is more complicated, like a small maze.

After Lu Jiayi and Shi Wen entered the haunted house, they first found the main switch in the haunted house with the light of the flashlight, and then destroyed it.

Lu Jiayi said: "We destroy the switch, so that the haunted house will have no light at all. The darkness is in our favor."

"But this way we can't see anything clearly." Shi Wen raised the flashlight, the light of the flashlight is not strong, it can barely illuminate a small area.

After hearing Shi Wen's words, Lu Jiayi suddenly laughed. Her laughter was weird, as if it contained some malicious emotion. Shi Wen felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard it. Shi Wen felt puzzled and slightly confused. When panicked, Lu Jiayi suddenly said: "You don't need light, Shi Wen, give me the inverted demon on your body."

Shi Wen felt a little horrified, even though he believed in his girlfriend Lu Jiayi very much, but Lu Jiayi's weird attitude always made Shi Wen unconsciously vigilant, Shi Wen tremblingly said: "You want to What does this card do? The enemy hasn't come yet..."

"It will be too late when he comes over to take it. Of course, I have to prepare it in advance." Lu Jiayi's smile did not change, and she stretched out her hand to Shi Wen, "Give it to me."

Lu Jiayi's words were too oppressive, Shi Wen couldn't disobey her, so he obediently handed over the inverse demon in his pocket to Lu Jiayi.

Lu Jiayi took the card and observed it in his hand.

When humans hold this card, the above content is: curse card, people who hold this card will be more vulnerable to damage.

It means that when a human being holds this card, a slight injury will make the cardholder feel unbearable, and even turn into a serious injury.

When the killer holds this card, the content on it changes and becomes the following text:

He is your loyal servant, willing to sacrifice everything for you and do what you ask.

He will open his claws and reveal his fangs, tearing apart all obstacles in front of you.

But when he goes mad, you lose the ability to master him.

Summoning card, turning a human caught by you into a demon at your command, which lasts for ten minutes, after which the human will fall into a state of near-death.

Lu Jiayi casually played with the reversed demon in her hand, and raised her head to look at Shi Wen maliciously. She was thinking about how to deal with the man in front of her. Then discard the pawns at any time.

How to use him is completely Lu Jiayi's freedom.

It's just that this man can't be killed now.

Lu Jiayi thought in her heart that she had to keep Shi Wen to deal with Zhou Yue, and use the inverse demon to turn Shi Wen into a puppet for fighting, let him compete with that Zhou Yue to the death, and then Lu Jiayi went to make up for Zhou Yue , everything is perfect.

Of course, there may be unexpected situations, such as Shi Wen still lost to Zhou Yue even with the blessing of the reversed demon, or Zhou Yue escaped.

In this case, Lu Jiayi had to give up Zhou Yue's head, and first use Shi Wen to give herself a guaranteed head.

Lu Jiayi is a very, very smart woman. Of course she knows how to read the situation. Judging from the previous information, Zhou Yue is a veteran. She is strong and agile, so she must be very good at fighting. And Lu Jiayi has not received the same training as Zhou Yue. She knows that even with the blessing of the Death Card, she is still no match for Zhou Yue to a large extent. Zhou Yue's trouble.

But if you don't trouble Zhou Yue, Zhou Yue will definitely take most of the heads in this game, and Lu Jiayi, who lacks heads, will end up being wiped out by the system in the end.

It's not the first time Lu Jiayi has experienced a double ghost game. She also got the death card before. Only to find that there was another killer in the game.

But that time, the other killer was really good, he was a newcomer, and without knowing it, he bought a death card in the mall and brought it in, so Lu Jiayi easily dealt with him.

However, this time, Zhou Yue was obviously a difficult opponent. Lu Jiayi had to work hard, and she had to find a way to fight.

Using the reversed demon to turn Shi Wen into a puppet and let Shi Wen fight Zhou Yue is actually a relatively risky decision. Once the reverse demon effect disappears, Shi Wen will immediately fall into a near-death state, and then Zhou Yue will definitely be able to make up the knife faster than Lu Jiayi. In that case, Shi Wen's head will be snatched by Zhou Yue.

After being robbed of the head used as a guarantee, if Lu Jiayi still can't beat Zhou Yue, Lu Jiayi will undoubtedly die.

This is the worst case scenario, but if you look on the bright side.

For example, Shi Wen can be slightly better than Zhou Yue... It doesn't even need to be slightly better than Zhou Yue, as long as he is tied with him and causes some damage to him, Lu Jiayi can jump out with mantis catching cicadas and orioles behind him, and successfully win the next week. For Yue's head, he could get three thousand lone wolf points more, which couldn't be more cost-effective.

If Shi Wen didn't die in the end, he could kill Shi Wen and take his head again. In this way, Lu Jiayi would have a high score of more than 10,000 or even nearly 20,000 in this round.

The abacus was well planned, but in practice, Lu Jiayi knew that there would always be various unexpected situations, so in order to maximize her chances of success, she chose this underground haunted house as the place to ambush Zhou Yue, because There are only two exits from this haunted house. Although the inside of the haunted house seems to have complicated terrain, it is actually a single route, with at most two forks, which are still connected. If Zhou Yue chased him down, he would have only two choices, to move forward or to retreat.

If he goes forward, he will be attacked by Shi Wen and Lu Jiayi, and if he moves backward, he will be chased by Shi Wen and Lu Jiayi. Doing this will greatly reduce Zhou Yue's chances of escaping, and the dark environment will also hinder the opponent's actions. If necessary, let Shi Wen wrap around Zhou Yue, and Lu Jiayi will go back from the exit, and make a circle to attack Zhou Yuelai from front to back.

This is an obvious trap, and it depends on whether Zhou Yue can fall for it. If Zhou Yue is greedy enough and wants to covet Shi Wen's head, he will definitely chase after him.

After thinking about the plan, Lu Jiayi discussed with Shi Wen for a while, and after confirming that the other party would act according to her instructions, the two of them lurked in the haunted house and waited. Lu Jiayi was not worried that Shi Wen would defect temporarily. It was under her control from beginning to end.
