Infinite weird games

After dealing with Liu Yuhan, Qi Si continued to walk down the stairs.

At 9:20, he stopped on time and stared at the rotation of the hands on the clock face, watching the minute hand and the second hand turn for a total of six minutes and forty seconds.

If the time is converted according to the mechanism of the "Hopeless Sea" copy, one hour corresponds to eighty minutes on the clock, and he will stop or continue to move forward with the arc of the minute hand turning one circle more than one-third of a circle as a cycle.

The two timekeeping methods do not conflict. He only needs to be cautious enough to stop once according to the two sets of rules, which is nothing more than wasting some time.

Qi Si no longer stopped, and walked down the stairs step by step at the same pace. The light circle on the top of the clock tower was far away, and only the flashlight in his hand flashed a dazzling light in the darkness.

The stairs surrounding the axis of the clock tower have no end, as if they lead to the depths of the earth's core and will penetrate from the other side of the world.

Qi Si could hear the sound of the tide and smell the fishy smell of water. After he took the Poseidon Scepter out of the prop column, he had a hidden control over this space, or... cognition.

After "Frog Hospital", his connection with the Poseidon Scepter deepened. With the Poseidon Scepter, he was at least no different from a real god in terms of external performance.

He could use the power sealed in the scepter at will in the right place - such as the Hopeless Sea - or remotely control and recall the scepter at any time in a specific world.

When he nailed Liu Yuhan to the floor with the Poseidon Scepter and continued to walk to the bottom of the tower, he seemed to have gained a global perspective at certain moments, and was able to peek his consciousness under the stairs, and then found that there was still no trace of the door tens of thousands of meters behind.

This road has no end, and there is no exit on the side of the road. Continuing to go down is just farther away from the light and closer to the ground.

Going forward blindly will not be the way to pass the level, and it seems too late to return along the original path at this time.

Mixed whispers lingered in his ears, and the phantoms of marine life became more and more solid, as if they were about to break through the space and come into the world.

Invisible gravity pressed down from all directions, as if walking on the seabed, bearing the weight of the sea water.

The interior of the bell tower seemed to have undergone some changes, which did not allow the players to slowly conduct trial and error.

But... what went wrong?

The wet touch like sea water sucked his skin, bringing heavy pressure to squeeze his bones. For a moment, Qi Si had the idea of ​​returning to Liu Yuhan to retrieve the Sea God's Scepter and try to solve the problem.

But soon, the new idea was stuffed back into his mind by the weird game, telling him that he could no longer change the mechanism of the Hopeless Sea without the Sea God's Scepter.

The pressure on his body became greater and greater, and Qi Si took a breath very lightly, actually just making an inhalation motion.

After becoming a ghost, his physical fitness has actually become much stronger, and his tolerance threshold for fatigue and pain has been greatly improved, and he doesn't even feel it too obviously in many cases.

But even if he didn't need to breathe at this moment, he still felt a strong sense of suffocation, and his limbs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and he was unwilling to move forward half a step.

So he stopped at the narrow plane at the corner of the stairs, sat on the bottom step, and thought seriously:

As an "undead", will the ghost die from the water pressure at the bottom of the sea? How will he die then?

...

On the chessboard outside the tower, Chang Xu used the team communication function of the team ring to listen carefully to the information sent by Liu Yuhan from the tower.

He knew that Liu Yuhan and Qi Si met again in a level that seemed to be a slice of the "Hopeless Sea" copy. Qi Si directly nailed the girl in the tower with the scepter of the sea god, and used the remaining power of the sea god to imprison all her actions.

"Qisi is scared." Liu Yuhan was fixed in place like an insect specimen, unable to move.

Her voice was mixed with a slight hiss caused by pain, but overall she was unusually calm: "He knows that our desire must be to kill him, and the realization of this desire only requires 3,000 points like other wishes.

"It is known that the reduction of team members will lead to the gathering of resources, and the total points of our team are 2,500. We only need to clear one more level to get 3,000 points.

"He is afraid that we will collect points to find Sphinx to realize our desire, so he dare not even kill me, and at the same time he does not hesitate to give up powerful props to restrict my actions to prevent me from further collecting points."

Liu Yuhan paused and said: "We must make the worst plan. I will not be able to move in the next five hours today, and I will not be able to earn any more points.

"And the number of points we have collected will arouse Qis's sense of urgency. He will kill you at all costs before we collect 3,000 points. "

"I understand. Even if he restricts your actions today, you can still enter the new level tomorrow, and you can save the last 500 points anyway. So today is his last chance to turn the situation around. "

Chang Xu quickly sorted out the logic and nodded solemnly: "When he comes out of the tower, I will immediately use the teleportation effect of the broken blade to kill him."

"The worst case scenario still exists." Liu Yuhan took a breath and said, "The maximum time limit for a level is three hours, and three levels are nine hours. I am worried that he will stay in the tower for eight hours and then use the unknown hidden mechanism of the copy to deal with us."

Chang Xu was silent. He knew that Liu Yuhan's inference was not alarmist.

In the "Rose Manor" dungeon, he designed to use him and Lin Chen to trigger the mechanism of time reversal to break the situation;

In the "Hopeless Sea" dungeon, he found that there was a problem with time when others were unaware, and he forced himself to hold it until the end to reveal the mystery;

In the "Red Maple Leaf Boarding School" dungeon, he was suspected to be behind the scenes to manipulate the overall situation, and in the end he directed him and Shuo Meng to run around and achieve TE clearance.

Qi Si is a person who always seems to be able to dissect the confusing appearance of the dungeon, grasp and use the most core tricks buried in it, and give others a fatal blow.

Chang Xu thought of Fu Jue, who had only met him a few times in the Investigation Bureau, for no reason. He was also able to dissect the texture of the game dungeon calmly, and was also so suitable for the weird game...

In the high tower, after Liu Yuhan delivered the last warning, he unilaterally cut off the communication of the team ring.

The Poseidon Scepter was like a wedge embedded in her flesh, piercing through her body, and the attached great power stuck her in place, unable to move at all.

Any mobilization of props was extremely difficult, the prop bar was grayed out, and the skills were unusable. Only bugs like the team ring could still play a role, but unfortunately it was useless.

She stared blankly at the orange-yellow light circle above her head, and the pain had long been paralyzed by endorphins, leaving a drowsy suffocation feeling like covering her mouth and nose with a wet tissue.

Over the years, she has been busy running back and forth from one dungeon to another, writing one strategy after another in the hopes of forum players.

She was too hurried and tired, and she hadn't stopped to think about her own things for a long time.

Until this moment, she was forced to stagnate in the motionless time and space, stranded in the quagmire of fate, and didn't know if she could leave alive, she began to subconsciously chew on her life without many bright colors.

Countless images flashed in her mind, people and things appeared one after another. She was an ordinary person, born in a poor family that valued education. Like all the bottom of the federation, she hoped to change her fate through knowledge.

She encountered many obstacles that she thought she could not overcome at the time, but after gritting her teeth and stepping over them, she looked back and smiled indifferently; she also met many interesting people and interesting things, but they were all silently integrated into her memory, and she only remembered them in the occasional flashback.

At the age of eighteen, she entered the weird game in a daze, a completely unfamiliar field with no standard answers, and stumbled through the most difficult novice period in a chaotic situation.

With the solid and tenacious spirit she had trained since childhood, she did not take shortcuts and wait for death like other players, but actively matched the dungeon and climbed to her current position step by step.

Then what?

"What is your desire?" Sphinx asked her.

At that time, she gave the same answer as Chang Xu: "My desire is to kill Qi Si."

The Sphinx smiled but said nothing. A voice sounded in her mind, advising her to think carefully about what she really wanted.

A quarter of an hour ago, Qi Si inserted the Sea God's Scepter into her abdominal cavity.

It was clearly a cruel act. After stopping for a moment, the young man suddenly put on a smile on his face, as if a god was deceiving believers: "Liu Yuhan, to be honest, I am very curious about what your desire is.

"Chang Xu, that stubborn guy, is stubborn once he has made up his mind. I guess he made a wish to kill me to the Sphinx unilaterally, so - what about you?

"I don't think our contradictions are so irreconcilable that you want to waste such a precious opportunity to deal with me.

"In fact, many of your demands can be resolved through negotiation. For example, after leaving this copy, I may be able to sign a new contract with you to give you more freedom. "

Qisi spoke slowly and leisurely, as if he was very considerate of the tool who betrayed him, and the suggestions he put forward sounded perfect at first.

Liu Yuhan knew that this man was a liar full of lies. If she had not summarized the information with Chang Xu, she would have been kept in the dark and thought that it was Lin Chen who killed Tang Yu.

You must not follow the thinking of such a dangerous person, otherwise God knows whether you will fall into the trap inadvertently...

"I don't believe you." Liu Yuhan swallowed her saliva and said in a hoarse voice, "You dare not kill me because you are afraid that Chang Xu will accumulate 3,000 points. "

Qisi laughed when he heard it, and he laughed very happily.

He laughed for a while, and blessed with a sincere tone: "Then I wish you to accumulate 3,000 points as soon as possible and kill me, a scumbag. "

After thinking about it, Liu Yuhan looked at the small piece of sky above her head blankly, and couldn't figure out Qi Si's background for a while.

Is it another arrangement, or is it a bluff? What should she do next?

Will the worst case happen, that is, Qi Si will spend eight hours in the tower without giving Chang Xu a chance to act?

Liu Yuhan lowered her eyes and looked at the wound on her abdomen and the long handle of the Sea God's Scepter, and smiled bitterly.

At this point, she can only gamble that fate will not favor Qi Si too much.

...

"Then gamble your life again."

On the other side, under the invisible pressure, Qi Si sat on the steps, holding his chin with his hand, and smiled suddenly.

He suddenly realized the problem. Weird games are cruel most of the time. No matter how safe the way to pass the level is, there must be risks hidden during the period. How can it provide an option that can please both sides?

It is too safe to follow two sets of timing methods at the same time, which is undoubtedly what the weird game does not want to see.

And what the weird game likes is "gambling".

In the "Hopeless Sea" dungeon, Qis, as a newcomer, was dealing with old players, which was a gamble.

He was betting on the lack of information of the others, betting that he would not be discovered if he pretended to be from another camp, and betting that not many players knew that he was a newcomer...

In the later stage of the dungeon, the existence of the puppeteer surfaced, and he gambled his life for greater benefits.

He bet all his chances on the evil god's finger bones, betting that he could get rid of the puppeteer's control - he won the bet.

And with the accumulation of dungeon experience and the increase of props reserves, he gambled less and less, and he was more accustomed to preparing everything and making a perfect layout...

It's quite boring, and I guess Weird Game also thinks so.

So this level, without any prior information, gives two possible clearance plans, which is to let him gamble.

- Choose one of the two timing methods to follow.

When the hour hand points to the Roman numerals, according to the first set of timing methods, the player cannot act at this time.

Qi Si watched the hour hand turning tirelessly, suddenly chuckled, stretched out his hand to hold the wall and stood up.

The tremendous pressure acted on him from all directions, and he raised his feet with difficulty and took a step forward.

In an instant, the sky and the earth spun, and the darkness around him collapsed rapidly, and when it settled down, there was color.

Qi Si found himself standing on an empty ship, sailing under the yellow sky and on the blue sea.

A black stone slab stood abruptly in the center of the deck, with three options engraved on it in silver-white text:

[One action point]

[Five hundred points]

[Two portions of food]

Qi Si knew that he had made the right bet.

The fifteen-minute countdown was displayed in the upper left corner, and the silver-white text told him:

[Please make a choice within fifteen minutes]

The pointer position of the fate pocket watch was the same as before entering the level, and the dream did not occupy real time, which means that the time he spent on clearing this level was zero.

The time I delayed in the level of [Rock, Paper, Scissors] was returned here. I don’t know if it was intentional or a pure coincidence.

Things are getting a little troublesome.

There are still four and a half hours before the end of today’s beast fighting game. If you leave the tower before the end, you will inevitably be attacked by Chang Xu.

You can delay for half an hour in the middle of choosing rewards and entering the next level, but there are still four hours left.

The last level, can you delay for so long?

The fifteen-minute countdown ended, and Qi Si pressed his hand towards [Five Hundred Points].

Nian Fu outside the tower immediately received the corresponding prompt, and so did other players.

Lin Ye was amazed: "Qisi has changed his nature, and he won’t delay time anymore?"

Chang Xu said nothing, but passed the information to Liu Yuhan truthfully.

In the tower, the girl nailed by the scepter of the sea god showed a pale smile: "We won the bet, and fate is on our side this time." (End of this chapter)
