Infinite weird games

In the tower, Liu Yuhan covered her bleeding wound, held onto the slippery wall, and walked down the stairs step by step.

She stuck the [Ghost Guide] left by Qi Si on her abdomen to temporarily transform herself into a ghost and stop the loss of vitality.

The clock tower seemed to be buried deep in the sea, ten thousand meters below. She walked for two hours and still could not see the end.

The light circle above her head was getting farther and farther away, and gradually only a small dot like a pinhole remained, as if the hope was getting slimmer and slimmer, which made people feel uneasy uncontrollably.

Liu Yuhan remembered the time trick in the "Hopeless Sea" copy, but she could not find sufficient evidence to prove that this was the solution to this level.

She did not like to guess questions, and only believed in deductions with clear steps and strict logic. The puzzle she encountered this time undoubtedly lacked key information.

She was also unable to ask for clues related to the [Strange Talk Notes] in time.

Just yesterday, she had activated the note effect once to deduce "the method of killing Qi Si".

Until this moment, the result still hasn't come out, only various messy lines are running around on the paper.

The computing power of [Strange Stories Notes] is occupied, and she can only use it as an ordinary notebook to make a draft at best...

"If there is really a problem with time, and the mechanism of the "Hopeless Sea" copy is strictly used, then the three hours of real time corresponds to four hours on the clock face. The next time you must stay is not at the hour..."

Liu Yuhan quickly calculated, and when she turned the corner, she suddenly looked up and saw the hour hand on the clock face slowly moving towards the Roman numeral twelve.

If you don't consider other situations, for safety reasons, she should stay at twelve o'clock for five minutes before moving on.

But according to the situation in the previous few hours, such a cautious approach will undoubtedly not allow her to really pass the level.

She is losing blood continuously. If she doesn't pass the level in time, she will only be waiting for a slow death.

A destined dead end and a dangerous way to live, there is no suspense about which one to choose.

"Then let's take a gamble."

Liu Yuhan's eyes flashed with the faces of Zhang Hongfeng and Tang Yu, as well as the faces of countless players who were familiar with her but died in the strange game dungeon.

So many people died on the road to fighting against the strange game because of a wrong step, and the bodies on both sides were piled up like mountains. Why couldn't one of them be hers?

At twelve o'clock, Liu Yuhan took a step forward.

Then, the dark tones in the vision were blown away by the sea breeze like sand and dust, and the dim sky and the blue sea formed a new picture.

The wounds in the dream will not be brought to reality. The pain was pulled away in an instant, and the residual phantom pain gradually dissipated.

Liu Yuhan found that her blue dress was spotless, without holes, no wounds, let alone the blood that had soaked her body before.

She stood on the deck, in front of the black slate with the reward options written on it, and the silver-white handwriting truthfully presented three types of rewards:

[One action point]

[Five hundred points]

[Two portions of food]

Liu Yuhan was not in a hurry to make a choice, but carefully studied her system interface.

In the upper left corner of her sight, there was only one hour left before the end of the beast fighting game.

It is said that dreams do not occupy the real world, but it seems that this is not the case for her.

She is involved in multiple timelines, [Strange Talk Notes] is always taking time to calculate, and Qisi, who controls [Sea God's Scepter], has left the copy in advance and returned to the normal flow of time.

Under multiple paradoxes, it is impossible to anchor a specific time point, and the weird game copy simply and roughly determines that she has exhausted the three-hour time limit of this level and sends her to the starting point of the last hour.

Liu Yuhan did not have too much dissatisfaction. It was fortunate that she could survive the level. What else could she expect?

Moreover, after clearing a level, she had accumulated the minimum points required.

Liu Yuhan pressed her hand on the option of [500 points], and the team's total points were successfully converted to 3,000.

At the same time, the ghost story notebook in her arms was slightly hot. She turned to the latest page and saw the answer to the question she had deduced before:

[To kill Qi Si, you can only make a wish to the Sphinx]

…

On the other side, Chang Xu followed the bloodstains on the ground all the way, and finally reached the underground courtyard at the end of the corridor when there was still half an hour left before the end of the beast fighting game.

The ratmen with snake bodies and snake hair were crowded in the courtyard, and the originally open venue was set off to be cramped and small.

Circles of ratmen gathered somewhere in the center of the courtyard like believers listening to preaching, forming a sea of ​​people, and it was impossible to judge the situation inside from the outside.

Chang Xu knew that Nian Fu and Qi Si were inside.

Judging from the posture of these ratmen, the two were most likely not the targets of attack and hunting. On the contrary, they were protected and supported by the ratmen by some unknown means.

Chang Xu had experienced the three copies of "Rose Manor", "Hopeless Sea" and "Red Maple Leaf Boarding School". He knew that although Qi Si's strength on paper was not outstanding, he was able to pick out key details from the seemingly ordinary copy mechanism and play with it.

At the moment, he was afraid that he had noticed the information that others had not noticed, and took a step further on the route of TE clearance, borrowing the "momentum" of the copy itself.

Previously, Qi Si was almost cut in half with a knife, but when he turned around, he saw that the latter was still alive and kicking. The scene of the dead man coming back to life was weird enough, and Chang Xu was already suspicious.

Seeing the rats' pilgrimage again, he felt even more suspicious, and suddenly had a strong, bad premonition---

He might not be able to kill Qi Si in a short time.

But what if he couldn't kill him? Some things should be done by someone.

Chang Xu lowered the brim of his hat, trying not to attract the attention of any NPC, and quietly approached the edge of the rat group.

The rats seemed to be concentrating on bowing to the center of the courtyard, but the countless poisonous snakes hanging from their lower bodies twisted their necks restlessly, keeping an eye on all directions.

Chang Xu had only taken a few steps when he was locked on by several snake heads.

Those snake heads spit out scarlet snake tongues and angrily hissed, like a signal to gather. Soon, all the snake heads turned around and stared at Chang Xu coldly.

Chang Xu clearly remembered the way to break the deadlock that he had verified last night, and immediately turned the sharp edge of the sickle, gently scratched his arm, and spilled blood on the ground.

The imagined scene of ratmen petrified in groups did not appear. On the contrary, the already red eyes of the poisonous snakes became even more bloodthirsty.

The huge rat head followed the snake head and turned to Chang Xu at the same time. The scarlet eyes showed the desire for blood and the desire to kill.

Logically speaking, with their desires stimulated to such a high level, they should have turned into stone statues under the influence of the curse...

What went wrong?

Chang Xu couldn't figure it out, but he knew that it was all related to Qi Si.

Qi Si must have done something to remove the curse on these monsters, so they would no longer be restrained by blood, and they also respected Qi Si who saved them as a god...

That guy who acted recklessly did not consider the consequences of eliminating the weaknesses of the ratmen at all. I am afraid that in his worldview, if he died, letting other players be buried with him would be a happy ending...

Chang Xu pursed his lips, put the broken life in front of him, and stepped back step by step, looking for terrain that could be used.

Unfortunately, the ratmen did not intend to give him a chance to break the deadlock.

Countless ratmen turned around at the same time, pressing towards Chang Xu step by step.

The lower limbs made of red venomous snakes flowed in the corridor like a tide, dragging their huge bodies to form an encirclement in just a few seconds, trapping Chang Xu in it.

If there was only one monster, Chang Xu, who had a weapon, could easily kill it; even if there were ten, Chang Xu would have a way to defeat them one by one.

But there were more than a hundred ratmen gathered in the courtyard.

"It's him! It's him!"

"He is the demon who killed the god, an evil believer..."

"Kill him! Kill him!"

The ratmen shouted loudly, and rushed towards Chang Xu with the madness and bloodthirsty desire of believers.

Chang Xu quickly waved the life-breaking sword and chopped at the ratman who was about to touch him.

The ratman was split in half, and warm blood sprayed on his face, and his intestines and organs flowed into a pool, temporarily obscuring his vision.

More ratmen took the opportunity to rush forward, stepping on the corpses of their companions and approaching, biting the evil man in the oracle...

One after another.

...

In the Colosseum surrounded by the audience, the players stood absent-mindedly on the chessboard, waiting for the result in boredom.

Before, Chang Xu's sickle hit Qi Si, and they all thought that the main task was about to be completed and they were about to pass the dungeon, but turned around and found that Qi Si was not dead at all.

Later, Chang Xu chased Qi Si and Nian Fu into the underground, and they weighed the pros and cons and did not follow to join in the fun.

First, the goat was watching from the side, and Qi Si and Nian Fu had no choice but to leave. Chang Xu was a little bit stupid, and they were not forced to do so, so there was no need to risk the goat.

Second, many of them did not want Qi Si to die too soon, and they were still hoping to accumulate points to realize their wishes first. Not stabbing Chang Xu in the back was considered to be the most righteous.

It would be best if Chang Xu could kill Qi Si, so they can easily pass the level and get rewards; if they can't kill Qi Si, they can negotiate a deal with Sphinx.

This copy is like this, Chang Xu only needs to chase Qi Si, and the players have more to consider.

Not only do they have to calculate their own points and speculate the strength of each opponent, but they also have to think about how to gain the greatest benefits for themselves.

The goat stood aside and watched the passive players, surprisingly without saying much.

Ever since Qi Si came out of the tower and rode away on the tiger after fighting with Chang Xu, the audience's attention was not on the game in the field.

How can a turn-based beast chess be as interesting as a life-and-death duel with real swords and guns?

The sudden chase is so exciting!

The goat was considerate and did not catch Chang Xu and Qi Si back to the venue, but snapped his fingers.

Two slates like TV screens immediately appeared in the void.

One showed the picture from Chang Xu's perspective, as if there was a camera following him and filming continuously; the other was a dark mass.

The goat said, "Huh?" and said to himself, "Is there something wrong? Why can't I see the image of the new friend? Could he be dead?"

The audience made a "hush" sound, and the goat quickly snapped his fingers again.

A new screen appeared, showing Nian Fu's perspective.

The players and the audience saw and heard Qi Si's actions and words with the help of Nian Fu's eyes and ears.

In the corridor, Qi Si smiled and said to Nian Fu, "I died a long time ago."

In the courtyard, Qi Si smeared his blood on the foreheads of the ratmen, allowing them to be reborn from the state of stone statues.

Later, Qis lost his voice in a pool of blood, and the rat man told Nianfu devoutly: "The God said that if his body is preserved, he will be resurrected in the future."

At this moment, there are few intellectual players left in the Colosseum. The intellectual players have all entered the Glazed Tower to pass the level.

The force players looked at the picture presented on the stone slab and looked at each other in bewilderment.

What does "already dead" mean? How can they be resurrected if they are dead?

Also, what kind of operation is it to smear your own blood on the rat man and finally die of blood?

"I may understand a little bit." Lennarn cleared his throat to attract everyone's attention, and smiled shyly, "I heard that some players may use prop reserves or copy mechanisms to transform themselves into ghosts and continue to participate in the game when they are facing a situation of certain death. Qi may be in this situation.

"Ghosts are difficult to kill. For example, there is a kind of ghost called [Undead]. After being injured and bleeding all the blood, they will only enter a dormant state, but will not really die. I suspect Qi is this kind of ghost.

"He can't heal himself, so he generously gave his blood to those ratmen, which is considered to be the last capital for his teammates to turn the tables. As for 'resurrection', I don't know what props can do this."

"How do you know so much? Who knows whether what you said is true or false?" Lin Ye stared at Lenaan suspiciously, "You are obviously in the same team with Qi Si's accomplice..."

Lenaan spread his hands: "Lin, you don't know, Dong was actually coerced by Qi Si and had to obey him. Now Qi is dead, we don't have to be tied to him anymore."

Green thought of something and frowned: "Lenaan, if it is true as you said, then we can't kill Qi Si no matter what, and can't complete the main task?"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe the mechanism of Sphinx realizing wishes has a higher priority." Lenaan said with a smile.

Qin Mu has been silent all the time, and now he suddenly asked: "Does anyone know what Qi Si's 'plan' is? Where is his body hidden again?"

The players were all stunned.

Yes, from the beginning to the end, Qi Si never revealed his plan to Nian Fu.

Even the whereabouts of the corpse was decided by the rats, avoiding Nian Fu's sight.

He clearly didn't know that his movements would be broadcasted in public by the goats, but he still didn't reveal any useful clues...

He hid the information so carefully and thoroughly. Is he really a back-up plan, or is he deliberately setting up a maze?

"Maybe he has no plan at all, just saying it to scare us." Lin Ye shrugged, "If there is really a way to revive from the dead, Lin Jue, Xiao Fengchao and their group would not die."

Green disagreed: "Does he know that he can scare us? I think this resurrection is true..."

Time passed by minute by minute, and the countdown of the duration of the beast fighting game finally cleared, and the announcement sounded coldly:

[The beast fighting game (second day) ended successfully, and all players will be teleported back to the Colosseum]

Beams of light flew to the platform from all directions and condensed into the figures of the players.

On the stone tablet, the rankings between the teams were fixed.

First place, Chu Xun and Green, with a total score of 3,700.

Second place, Dong Xiwen and Lenaan, with a total score of 3,600.

Third place, Lin Ye and Fan Zhanwei, with a total score of 3,200.

Fourth place, Qin Mu, with a total score of 3,100.

Fifth place, Chang Xu and Liu Yuhan, with a total score of 3,000.

Sixth place, Qi Si and Nian Fu, with a total score of 2,600, the last place.
