Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 666: He can come whenever he wants

  【Successfully resisted three viral infections (3/3)】

  【Second phase mission completed】

 【The third phase of the mission: Become an infected person/Kill ten infected persons】

 【Time limit: thirty-six hours】

The system's mechanical female voice without any emotion came from the in-ear headphones. Zhao Yijiu pressed the small piece of metal with his hand expressionlessly to stop the blood-stained sacrifice from wearing a mechanical guard. Wipe it on the crook of your elbow and put it into the sheath on the side of your leg.

There were a few drops of blood on his cheek, which had dried up and turned a dull red color. His hair was messy, and a black hairband was tied around his forehead to separate his bangs from his skin.

Around him, the ruins of the small clinic were in a mess. Empty syringes fell to the ground. A twisted and weird corpse lay in front of him. There were still incisions on the neck of the corpse to stop the killing.

Just after a battle, Zhao Yijiu took off his black jacket, revealing the tactical vest underneath. The area protected by the vest was still intact, but the bulging and strong muscles of his arms were covered with small bloodstains, especially on his left hand. On the inner side of his forearm, a bone-deep wound extended vertically. It looked painful, but he was the only one who would remain so calm.

He took out wound medicine and bandages from the backpack beside him, squatted on the ground and bandaged himself twice. Although this kind of wound would heal on its own in about a day for him now, this process could not be seen by others. .

 Otherwise... you will be regarded as an infected person.

After expertly bandaging, Zhao Yijiu stood up and walked to the door of the small clinic.

The sky outside is whitening, and the night is about to pass. The dim light of the early morning penetrates the atmosphere and shines into this eroded world.

He looked far into the distance and could vaguely see the eaves of Survivor Base No. 51 standing in the mountains outside the city. For safety, the base was located in the mountains - there were few traces of human life in the mountains, which could eliminate most of them. The evil spirit virus generated by human thoughts.

 For players, this game copy started two weeks ago.

 Twenty deducers appeared randomly in various locations in City 51, wearing clothes suitable for the current world, and wearing an optical brain watch with a relatively single purpose on their wrists.

The system generously shared the background of the world. To put it simply, this was originally a post-modern high-tech civilized world. However, a few years ago, a virus storm quietly swept the world.

It was not a virus in the ordinary sense. Weird and terrifying deaths were reported one after another, murders without explanation, dead people coming back home from resurrection, and the events of the day of death being repeated endlessly... These supernatural events were initially considered to be pranks and rumors. , when people finally discovered something was wrong, the world had fallen.

Medical experts teamed up with real experts from all walks of life to try to explain all this from a scientific perspective, and finally they found the source of the incident—an undetectable virus.

The reason why it cannot be detected but is considered a virus is because it is contagious, but there are also prevention methods. For example, after a person dies with resentment, a factor will be produced in the place where the person died. When another person steps in unconsciously, Here, the factor is absorbed and infection begins.

The infected person will experience the experience of the factor owner before his death. If he can maintain mental stability and survive, he has successfully resisted the contamination and produced certain antibodies. If he cannot withstand it, the infected person will become a human being. The combination with the resentful spirit may not be very lethal to others, but the same thing is that they will definitely kill themselves.

 That is, those who are infected will die.

In addition to infected people, those factors may also grow on their own and directly become pure vengeful spirits, which is a kind of evolution. When factors become vengeful spirits, they are no longer limited to a certain place, but can follow the trajectory of the vengeful spirits. Spread factors everywhere and become a mobile source of infection.

 Humanity was defeated by the attack of this evil spirit factor and soon fell apart.

After a few years, the still-living humans finally underwent super evolution under the stimulation of more and more complex types of wraith viruses. They really couldn't wait for the long, generation-by-generation evolutionary process, and it seemed that Just after a certain dark night, perfect antibodies quietly breed in some people's bodies.

These people cannot see resentful spirits and will not be eroded by factors. In other words, they seem to have built a barrier to separate themselves from this shabby world.

The advantage is that they can be normal people and ordinary people for a lifetime. The disadvantage is that when human leaders find a way to kill the virus, people without perfect antibodies can fight against the virus as rebels, while people with perfect antibodies become Becoming an incompatible burden, they cannot be infected and cannot kill the virus.

Even in the eyes of some jealous people, they are called traitors to mankind, aliens, and the embodiment of unfairness that makes no contribution but is the safest.

In this way, the small group of people who evolved perfect antibodies quickly disappeared. I don’t know where they went. They may have hid separately, or they may have lived in seclusion together.

 The players play the role of one of the "majority of humans" who survive in the apocalypse caused by the evil spirit virus.

 This is an extremely detailed deduction background provided by the system.

Comparing it with the time when I first came into contact with the absurd recommendation system, such a conscientious background introduction is like a prodigal son turning back, as if the system has started to work conscientiously to protect its own deducers. In fact, the truth is not so beautiful. There is only one reason -

The world is too difficult. If you don’t introduce it carefully, no matter how powerful the deducer is, he will easily fail to survive.

At the level of strength that can join this dungeon, some of the previous secrets are no longer secrets. At least the twenty despair-level deducers in the dungeon know that this is not a false absurd world, but a real world.

 The real world has its own rules and development trajectories. It is no longer like the deduction copies encountered at low levels, which are completely controlled by the absurd system.

Zhao Yijiu was promoted to despair level in a game two months ago - together with Carlos in the Broken Mirror and his brother Zhao Mou.

Po Jing's name has long been spread throughout the system forums, because in this year, in addition to the legendary Po Jing's captain "Xing", including the notorious female devil Qu Nianqing, everyone looked like He continued to participate in various deductions like crazy, his strength and experience increased rapidly, and he felt like he was rushing to reincarnate... no, he was rushing to prepare for what was to come.

 The power structure of gamers within the system has also changed greatly.

 In short, since Zhao Yijiu was promoted to despair, he has never seen a system as pervasive as before in subsequent deductions. The system has many limitations in the advanced world, most of which are reflected in the form of existence.

For example, this time, there is too much supernatural energy in the end of the world, which is enough to cause interference to the system. The system assigned a light brain watch to each deducer at the beginning. The light watch of the world's indigenous people comes in the end of the world. After that, most of the networking functions were lost, and the players looked the same as the aborigines, but the system also resided on the watch.

Whether it is a task or a prompt, the system will publish it in the optical brain. During the battle, in case there is no time to turn on the optical brain, Zhao Yijiu connects a Bluetooth headset to let the system announce the message by voice.

The first task at the beginning was to let the players choose to enter Survivor Base No. 51, or stay in the unorganized, undisciplined and orderly city. It can be said that at the beginning of this game, the players took two different paths. route.

 Zhao Yijiu and Carlos now have a tacit understanding as teammates. They choose one to be in the city and the other to be in the base to communicate at any time.

Zhao Yijiu closed the broken door of the clinic and planned to rest here until dawn.

 As soon as he sat down in the corner, the fabric of the vest on his chest moved.

Zhao Yijiu lowered his head and saw the paper figure that he had clamped on the inside of his collar with a small clip moving. He released the clip and pinched the paper figure out. “It’s very annoying~~” As soon as he put the paper man in his hand, the ugly little paper man sat down, rolled his eyes with big eyes, and made a voice like Carlos from his cartoon mouth.

“Say.” Zhao Yijiu was not surprised.

"There was another water ghost infection incident in the base. It was right next to my dormitory. I sent a paper man to investigate, but he was discovered by that **** called Actor. Tsk, I knew what he could do after he got into the cleanup team. There are more things going on. What should I do now? I feel so unfree. He calls my paper man a piece of paper every day!”

Carlos forced Lai Lai to make a pass, and Zhao Yijiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Did he attack you?"

"No, but he laughed at me." Carlos said confidently.

 Oh, that is to say, it is actually nothing important, Carlos just came here to complain.

 Zhao Yijiu immediately wanted to "hang up the phone".

 In fact, for them, this deduction is a bit special.

After being promoted to the Despair level, their system added a section for pre-arranged deductions. From time to time, Zhao Mou would do some divination to confirm which ones were worth entering and which ones were incompatible with those who broke the mirror. This apocalyptic deduction was Zhao Mou's. After the divination, the final decision must be made to go in.

And the two candidates were accurate, Zhao Yijiu and Carlos.

In Zhao Mou’s words, “You will encounter very good things in this deduction, which you must not miss. Moreover, there are also very useful special items in the deduction. It would be best if you can find them.”

　So the two of them made an appointment obediently until they entered the deduction, and the system issued an all-hands announcement to the twenty deduction players.

 The first name is Actor.

Carlos asked whether Zhao Mou's divination results were affected by the actors' tricks, which is called "good things will happen"?

 The devil knows.

However, it is still believable that there are special items in the deduction, because there are many acquaintances on the list who are good at or have friends who are good at prophecy, divination and other abilities. It seems that not only are there special items, but they are also special enough to attract so many forces. Come and rob.

For example, Zhao Ruru from the Zhao family, Xu Shu from the Xu family, Zeng Lai from the research institute, Luo Qishan and Luo Jue from the Luo family, Yanming, the recording officer of the surviving investigation team, and Lu Xiaorong, the fat man...

Several acquaintances were also promoted to the Despair level during this year, especially Zhao Ruru, who had been in contact with Zhao Yijiu. During this year, Zhao Ruru gradually exposed many problems. Zhao Mou has confirmed that she was hiding her strength. , deceived everyone in the Zhao family, but now for some unknown reason chose to expose himself and become high-profile.

She didn't even stay in the Zhao family's territory, but went to the Xu family, euphemistically saying that she was going to study for the sake of friendship between the two families.

The remaining people may have been randomly assigned to this deduction, or they may have made reservations on their own initiative, but Zhao Yijiu didn't know this. Anyway, they were not familiar with them and had never even met them.

But what is certain is that among those people there must be hidden members of Single Prism. The actors are all here. He does not believe that the actors will not prepare a few useful tools, puppets and cannon fodder for themselves.

This deduction was originally very difficult, with everyone at the level of despair. It was the highest-level deduction that Zhao Yijiu had ever participated in. Now, due to the complicated relationship between the participants, the difficulty has definitely gone up to another level.

For example, Lingren, how perverted this guy is, almost everyone who knows him but not knows him has heard of it, not to mention the Mirror Broken Team, which has always been hostile to Monoprism.

In fact, Zhao Yijiu heard a rumor that after Yu Xing disappeared, the actor appeared to be particularly weird for a period of time, more erratic than usual. Even the top management of Single Prism was killed by the actor several times. After a while, this rumor existed The traces were erased.

Zhao Yijiu knew that the actor's reaction must be related to Yu Xing.

He had known that there was an unusual past between these two people, whether it was grudges or grudges, it was very complicated. In the previous live broadcast of Death Parallel, the actor was close to Yu Xing because of Yu Xing's closeness. When she could kill him with her own hands, she gave up on taking his life and instead used an insulting method to slit the corner of his mouth...

At that time, Zhao Yijiu couldn't quite understand it. What left the deepest impression was the feeling of powerlessness facing the actor, and the self-blame he felt when the actor used him to stimulate Yu Xing's dark emotions.

This year, I have experienced a lot of experience. For emotions, Zhao Yijiu no longer knows that.

When thinking about this incident again, he really couldn't tell whether the actor didn't kill him because he was afraid that Yu Xing would "hate him more", or whether he tortured him because he wanted Yu Xing to "hate him more".

Humans are really complex creatures.

 Especially lunatics.

Back to the present, Zhao Yijiu has not left much impression on that experience. He is naturally indifferent to things like "insult" and "torture" that can easily cause negative emotions... Maybe the negative emotions are all suppressed by the evil ghost in his body. Just absorb it.

 But the strength of the actor is clearly visible to our eyes. An actor with one-ninth of the strength without any sacrifices is already a nightmare level at that time. What about a complete actor without any restrictions?

Now that they have entered the same deduction, with the relationship between him, Carlos and Yu Xing, the actor will definitely go crazy against them.

In the first stage of selection, this is most of the reason why Zhao Yijiu and Carlos separated. The two of them have enough ability to protect themselves, but they are also annoyed that there are people interfering in the dark in everything they do. Instead of the two of them, Everyone has a 50% chance of being put under the eyes of an actor, so it's better to have someone who can perform freely.

Carlos is the lucky guy who bumped into an actor.

Since both of them knew each other's existence, Carlos was already prepared. Who knew that from the beginning to now, the actor had hardly done anything to him on his own initiative. At most, he saw the paper man crushing him casually and then mocking him meaningfully. Two sentences of waste paper.

Zhao Yijiu receives communications from Carlos every day, so he has a basic understanding of what is going on in the base. He has a vague guess in his mind about the fact that the actor cannot move Carlos.

Perhaps...the actor just wants Carlos to tell him what happened in the base?

He didn't know what the actor thought of him and Yu Xing, because compared to Carlos, Yu Xing was obviously closer to him before his disappearance. He had also faced the actor directly and refused the actor's solicitation.

 Comparatively...if an actor wants to find someone to go crazy with, it would be more fun to find him than Carlos.

　　A week ago, Carlos sent information that the actor had joined the cleanup team and got the opportunity to go out and clean up the virus.

Today, a week later, the little paper man of Carlos sat on Zhao Yijius hand, and Fu Zhi asked spiritually: "Do you think he will... join the cleaning team just to catch you when you are out in the field?"

“And my mouthpiece is still useful to him, so he lets me stay at the base?”

Zhao Yijiu was silent for a moment, bent one leg and breathed softly.

 A few seconds later, he replied: "He can come if he wants, and I want to talk to him too."
