Dr. Lu's words aroused the interest of the three of them. He cleared his throat and continued: "First of all, we need to eliminate the unexpected element of violence, the murderous mania. Then what we are involved in is actually a puzzle game, and the battle difficulty is very low. , these ghosts are easy to deal with, especially once we've got the hang of it..."

Qi Leren couldn't help but squinted at Dr. Lu. When this guy was fighting monsters, he was paddling from start to finish.

"The theme of surviving until dawn requires us to discover what the real disaster is and how to avoid it. This is also a test of our ability to discover and solve puzzles. If we can't detect the danger of earthquakes, then when the time comes, we will almost certainly die. , so the key to survival is not to fight monsters, but to solve puzzles. The final puzzle is not too difficult, remove me, the factor that has home field advantage, and need an ordinary person who does not know earthquakes to solve the puzzle, and the hope of surviving Not too small. After all, there are at least fifteen players in this novice village, and if there are no murderers, everyone will definitely get together to find a way to solve it, split up to find clues, and then analyze it, and finally find that the possibility of an earthquake is very high.”

Qi Leren murmured, "It's a pity there was an accident."

Dr. Lu also said softly, "Yes, there was an accident... This puzzle is not too difficult for a large number of players, as long as the citizens who have lived in this city will know about the earthquake twenty years ago. Things, plus the clues that there have been two earthquakes, it's only a matter of time before the final puzzle is discovered. So it's not too out of line to arrange a small time trap. In my years of experience playing horror games, the designer really The ultimate move is not actually in the earthquake, but in time."

If they didn't find this trap, they would probably leave the dugout at this moment leisurely, to find other survivors, and then be destroyed in the earthquake. At that moment, they will surely die unwillingly in despair. Even though they discovered the disaster, it was launched an hour earlier, which was simply unexpected.

"Then we... should we go and see... the survivors?" Xue Yingying asked weakly.

Dr. Lu shook his head firmly: "I will never take a step out of here. We have already informed the danger, and we have done our best."

"But the earthquake is still more than two hours away." Xue Yingying looked at the time and said.

"There are more and more ghosts outside. For safety's sake, it's better not to go out. If it takes a few hours to get involved in some goldfish maze again, it will be over," Dr. Lu said sternly.

"Oh... well..." Although Xue Yingying felt a little guilty, she still listened to Dr. Lu's advice.

Qi Leren looked at the door and frowned. There is still more time. Maybe there are survivors who have heard the broadcast in the lobby on the first floor waiting for them. They don't know that the earthquake time may change...

"Let me go." Su He stood up and said, "Just leave a note and come back soon."

Dr. Lu was about to hug his head and scream: "You just leave, why set up a Flag!"

Su He couldn't help laughing: "I'm sorry, I said something wrong. But don't worry, it's only a few minutes away from the hall, so nothing will happen."

"..." Dr. Lu looked very tired, this man is simply a flag-raising madman.

"I'll go with you, there will be someone to take care of you on the way." Qi Leren finally made up his mind and decided to go out and have a look.

Su He glanced at him with scrutiny eyes, then smiled and said, "That's really good."

The two walked out of the air-raid shelter under the gaze of Dr. Lu and Xue Yingying watching the martyrs. Qi Leren glanced at the time, it was 1:14, and there were still two hours.

The hospital seemed to be quieter and colder, the fog around was thicker than before, and there was blood they spilled along the way, adding terror to the empty white.

It was so quiet that only the footsteps of the two of them and the faint sound of breathing, Qi Leren wanted to find a topic several times, but in the end he didn't know what to say.

Passing a glass window, out of the corner of his eyes he saw Su He's perfect profile face, he also looked at the glass window at the same time, and smiled at him.

This scene made Qi Leren horrified. He couldn't help thinking that he was holding "Su He"'s hand at that time, and then found that it was no longer Su He. This similar scene triggered a terrifying picture in his memory. He turned his face away suddenly, instead of looking at the glass, he focused on the road ahead.

"Did I scare you?" Su He asked softly, her voice soft and pleasant.

"Cough... No." Of course Qi Leren didn't want to admit his terrifying association just now.

Su He chuckled and said in a deep voice, "I was a little surprised when you said you wanted to come up with it too."

"Why?" Qi Leren asked in confusion.

Su He turned his face, entangled with his eyes, the faint smile on his handsome face was meaningful: "You just followed me out so foolishly, you never thought about it, in fact I Is it for ulterior motives?"

At this moment, the hairs on Qi Leren's back exploded. He almost hurriedly stepped back a few steps, looking terrified, but Su He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "To scare you."

"!!!"

Seeing that Qi Leren was about to explode, Su He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't scare you like that. But the look you looked at me just now really made me unable to bear..."

I want to make fun of this vigilant little guy.

"If you're worried, I'll go ahead of you." Su He saw that he was in a hurry, so he simply walked in front of Qi Leren and walked towards the hall.

Qi Leren hesitated between following him and turning around and leaving, but finally followed.

Su He, who was walking in front of him, left him with a tall and straight back, and an elegant voice floating in the air, even in this horrible hospital full of crises, he still calmly said: "I can feel it, in fact, you are not. trust me."

Qi Leren subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he recalled his doubts about Su He when he was near the goldfish bowl, he couldn't refute it.

Su He continued to talk to himself: "Actually, I am the same. Here, everyone may be a dangerous enemy, but some people are explicit, like the murderer, while others are very subtle. …”

Who is he talking about? Qi Leren looked ahead in amazement.

"For example, Miss No. 4, she should have been a very obsessive girl before her death. Maybe she was very smart, but she was just unlucky."

Qi Leren thought of that girl, and his heart was heavy.

"Try to get out of here safely, then... I'll tell you a little secret, I believe we can become good friends." Su He stopped at the exit of the corridor, turned to Qi Leren and smiled.

Just as Qi Leren was stunned, Su He had already walked into the hall.

On the way back to the air-raid shelter after leaving the note, Qi Leren's mood has calmed down. This is reflected in the fact that he will not feel that kind of panic when he sees Su He. Su He's frank remarks also made him relax. Little, at least he knew that Su He actually had the same suspicions as him, which made him feel that Su He was closer to him.

He forced himself not to think about what Su He's so-called little secret was.

No one else was found, so they left a note, and the two quickly returned to the air-raid shelter. Doctor Lu and Xue Yingying were obviously relieved, but the surprised expression on their faces made Qi Leren a little unhappy - this is simply a judgment in advance their death sentence.

Dr. Lu insisted on verifying the identity of the two of them, so a few minutes later, Qi Leren silently wiped the plasma on his hands, and shot Dr. Lu with a cold gaze.

Dr. Lu accepted the torture of his gaze openly, but was defeated by Su He's smile, and under the pretext of sleeping for a while, he got into the blanket taken out from the package.

Xue Yingying was also tired and found a corner to lie down like Dr. Lu.

Although Qi Leren had taken a nap for a while, he died twice in a row after the explosion in the ward. He was still a little weak, but he was very excited and didn't want to sleep at all, so he sat next to Dr. Lu and wrote notes to record the events of the day. down.

"I said, it's better not to write a diary." Dr. Lu showed a pair of round eyes from the blanket and made a serious suggestion.

"Why?" Qi Leren asked.

"Didn't you see that there are always key props 'diaries' in horror games and movies? This shows that the person who writes the diary is easy to die, and the diary will become a key source of clues for the protagonist after death. So writing a diary is equivalent to inserting a flag." Dr. Lu said righteously and sternly.

Qi Leren decided to ignore him.

Time passed minute by minute, and when it was almost 3:13, everyone was awake, and Dr. Lu was staring at the time on the phone.

At 3:13, the earthquake came, the sky was torn apart, and the earth shook!

The four people in the underground air-raid shelter also felt the terrifying energy coming from the depths of the earth, as well as the dull sound of collapse outside. Several times, the Qi Le people felt that they were going to be finished, but this nuclear-proof air-raid shelter was able to withstand it. With this terrifying collapse and squeezing force, only some parts were damaged.

The tens of seconds of tremor passed quickly, and Qi Leren let out a deep breath.

They were so close to death, but in the end, they survived.

There are only three hours left until dawn.
