Infinite weird games

Chapter 76 Hopeless Sea (7) Greed-Greed

There were messy footsteps outside the door, from far to near. It was expected that other players had also finished their dinner and went up to the second floor.

Qisi listened to the footsteps and dispersed, disappearing into their respective rooms amidst the sounds of unlocking doors one after another. Silence once again settled in the air.

I don’t know how long it took, but there was a knock on the door. He knocked three times in a leisurely manner, with a polite attitude that would not make anyone feel bad.

Qisi walked over, opened the door, and looked at the person standing outside the door with a half-smile: "Brother Lu, did you go to the wrong door?"

The person coming was none other than Lu Li.

He tightened the lapel of his windbreaker, as if he was completely unaware of the hostility in Qisi's words. The smile on his lips was very gentle: "After you went upstairs, we discussed the plan for tomorrow again. There are some things I want to think about. I still want to tell you."

"My preliminary judgment is that there are three places worth exploring, namely the altar, the bell tower and the coconut grove. Among them, the altar may be more dangerous. I suggest that the fewer people go there, the better."

"I understand." Qisi smiled and said every word, "We will not go to the altar tomorrow."

"I think you may have misunderstood me. I just made a suggestion, and they are not willing to listen to my judgment..." Lu Li sighed, as if feeling sad for being misunderstood.

He took a step back, pretending to close the door: "It's getting late, let's all go to bed early. It might be dangerous if we go to bed late."

Chang Xu stood by the door at some point, pressed against it, and said in a cold voice: "Lu Li, your eyesight and memory seem to be very good, and you were able to find our room."

The number on the key is very unclear. Unless you pay careful attention, you will most likely not be able to match the room with the person.

Lu Li laughed and shook his head helplessly: "I'm just better at observing than others. I came up with them, and I remember which room they entered. I can easily get the overall information by eliminating it."

There was nothing wrong with this explanation, so Chang Xu frowned and closed the door without saying a word.

After Lu Li left, Qisi glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was already seven o'clock.

The "when the bell strikes ten" mentioned in the rules is eight o'clock in the evening when converted to a twenty-four-hour clock. In other words, there is still one hour left before the prescribed bedtime.

Qisi was lying on the bed, sleeping fully clothed. He was just feeling sleepy when he heard the door knocking again.

Chang Xu stood up and opened the door.

A woman in a long blue dress stood outside the door with a smile, holding two bowls of soup in her hands.

Qisi got out of bed with a fake smile on his face: "Yuna, what's wrong with you coming here so late?"

Yuna walked into the room by herself, put the soup on the bedside table, and gestured to the two of them that it was used to calm the mind and help them sleep.

Chang Xu looked into her eyes and asked coldly: "What will happen if you don't drink? What will happen if you can't sleep at night?"

Yuna smiled and looked in the direction of the window: "Maybe nothing will happen, or maybe she will die."

The ambiguous answer is not suspected of being alarmist. It seems that whether the player drinks the bowl of soup has nothing to do with her.

Zeiss stood in front of the door casually, blocking Yuna's path: "If you fall asleep on time, you won't die, right?"

Yuna nodded and shook her head: "Everyone is mortal."

"What happened to Viscount Crouch who lived in this room before? Do you know his whereabouts?"

"have no idea."

Stylized answers coupled with a mask-like smile, and a stingy refusal to give more information.

A little disappointed, Qissi made way for the woman to walk out of the room.

In silence, Chang Xu glanced at the bowl on the bedside table, and then cast a questioning look at Qisi.

Drinking the soup may be a way to survive, or it may lead to bad results; with a 50% probability, no one can say whether the choice is right or wrong. But he still intuitively believes that trusting the decisions of intelligent players is more reliable than acting randomly on his own.

Qisi turned his head to look in the direction of the door, and the smile on his face faded a bit: "If you feel that no matter what happens outside, it won't wake you up, you don't have to drink."

He picked up a bowl of soup and put it to his lips, took a sip and held it in his mouth.

——The decoction is colorless and odorless. From appearance to taste, it is the same as boiled water. It is extremely ordinary.

Chang Xu understood. Shen Ming's death on the first night at Rose Manor is not far away. In this kind of rule-based ghost story copy that explicitly requires sleep, waking up in the middle of the night will definitely lead to serious consequences.

At that moment, he picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Qisi watched him finish drinking, then swallowed the mouthful of soup in his mouth, and continued to sip the remaining liquid in the bowl. After a few seconds, he put the bowl down and lay down on the bed near the door.

In the silence, Chang Xu suddenly said: "Siqi, is the destiny pocket watch still there with you?"

What was supposed to come has come... Qisi raised his left hand, revealing the watch on it, and said nonchalantly: "It's still there, but it has merged with the reward item I got in the third copy. I don't know yet. How to separate. If it doesn't work, I'll give it back to you."

Chang Xu was noncommittal: "Please pay attention to the time of this copy. I have an intuition that time may be important."

Qisi said "hmm", sensing the subtext that Chang Xu didn't intend to take back the pocket watch, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then I heard Chang Xu say seriously: "According to the rules of the weird game, the item belongs to the person who leaves the dungeon."

"Thank you, Brother Chang." Qisi smiled gratefully and said no more.

He knew in his heart that Chang Xu didn't know the true effect of the destiny pocket watch, and he only thought it was an ordinary timekeeping prop, so he was so generous.

And that was just what he wanted.

After meeting Lu Li, Qisi noticed a secret sense of crisis.

In the competition for survival, the competition between players is nothing more than force, wisdom and information.

He does not have any advantage in terms of force. Although his wisdom is barely superior, there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the world. He cannot be the only smart person.

In terms of the amount of information, the gap is even greater. There are many veteran players who have cleared dozens or hundreds of dungeons. In extreme cases, there may even be old monsters who have been in the game for thirty-six years.

No matter how hard he tried, he could not make up for the gap accumulated over the past few decades, let alone use his personal power to fight against the tens of millions of people in the Grand Guild.

To gain an advantage over the competition, he must hold on to the few limited cards in his hand and make full use of their advantages.

The [Destiny Pocket Watch] that can trace back time is his biggest reliance at this moment...

The calming decoction gradually took effect, his thoughts were scattered all over the place, and his sleepiness was rising like a tide. Qiss yawned several times in succession, and his consciousness became drowsy.

On the other bed, Chang Xu also blew out the oil lamp beside the bed and lay down quietly.

In the darkness, a powerful and heavy bell floated from a distance, ringing ten times unhurriedly, long and far away.

…

In the room near the stairs, the backpacker lay straight on the bed, counting sheep with his eyes closed.

[2. The bell in the bell tower rings every two hours. Please fall asleep when it rings ten times and wake up when it rings four times. Please believe that it is safe to sleep in a hotel room]

The rules were clearly written on the system interface, and he didn't dare to neglect them. He tried all kinds of methods to fall asleep quickly, but he became more and more awake.

His name is Xu Maochun, and he is a game anchor. It is common for him to have reverse day and night. He suffered from neurasthenia at the age of thirty. Falling asleep in reality is not easy, let alone in a completely unfamiliar environment like a weird game?

After the ten bells rang, the backpacker was completely sleepless. The fear of the unknown was like a web in his heart, making him anxious and unable to fall asleep.

He took a deep breath and recalled various funny jokes in his mind, trying to relax himself. He thought happily that at least he was close to the stairs and could run away in time if something happened.

Time passed by, and the backpacker finally calmed down his breathing and let his consciousness wander.

In the hazy moment, a melodious and melodious singing voice came from the distance, which seemed to be there but not at all, so elusive that it was difficult to grasp. The incomprehensible lyrics and tunes are mixed together, and the weird pronunciation with a mysterious atmosphere seems to have become a kind of musical instrument, beautiful and harmonious.

The wooden window was blown open by the wind at some point, and the sea breeze brought the sound of the waves. The song was diluted in the waves, as if it was just a call from nature.

The backpacker found that his mind calmed down unconsciously. He stood up slowly, walked to the window, and looked at the blue sea under the orange sky.

The sparkling sea surface seems to be covered with a layer of silver, and the gorgeous scenery conveys unprecedented attraction.

I really want to go to the beach... I really want to go to the beach...

The backpacker turned around, walked towards the door step by step, pushed open the door and walked out, and was shocked by the cold wind in the corridor.

wrong! What's wrong with me? Can not Go Out!

The remaining reason gave him a warning of danger. He stopped abruptly at the door, twisted his limbs stiffly, and wanted to retreat to the room.

The friction of the joints made a "crunching" sound, which used up all his strength. The distant singing voice occupied him pervasively, smoothing his vigilance, thinking, cognition, and memory inch by inch...

His mind suddenly went blank. He felt so good, his body was as light as cotton wool, and he was about to ride the wind away at any time.

With a joyful smile on his face, he jumped up and down the stairs step by step, walked through the deserted hall on the first floor, and walked towards the seaside.

The white fish floating on the sea grinned at him with the same smile. As if he was inspired, he walked into the sea step by step, letting the water cover his knees, waist, abdomen and head little by little...

…

Later in the night, Gao Musheng was awakened by a rustling sound.

In the evening, like other players, he held his nose and ate the fish on the table.

Others might not be able to taste it, but he was extremely convinced that those "fish" tasted like human flesh!

Although he has long been accustomed to eating this kind of food, in weird games, related food is often linked to danger, and he is not willing to risk his life for the sake of his appetite.

Knowing that there was something wrong with the food, it would be a fool to drink the soup sent by Yuna - Gao Musheng didn't believe that the NPC had any good intentions.

The bowl of soup was placed on the bedside. He didn't touch it, covered his head and fell asleep.

Gao Musheng prides himself on being easy-going and always falling asleep, but this is the first time he was woken up by such a light noise in the middle of the night.

He quickly figured out that this was caused by the mechanics of the weird game, cursed "fuck" under his breath, and then reached for the soup bowl on the bedside.

There were a lot of tiny noises outside the door, like hundreds of pythons moving together in the dense forest, dragging a soft "rustling" sound towards the door.

There was a knock on the door, and Gao Musheng felt a chill rush from his back to Tianling Gai. He didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly poured the whole bowl of soup down his throat.

Drowsiness suddenly came over him, and he threw the bowl on the ground, leaned back, and was about to fall asleep again.

"Dong dong dong..." The knock on the door remained the same, getting louder and louder.

Gao Musheng realized something, and his fear and regret suddenly reached their peak. He propped himself up and tried to sit up, but he couldn't muster the strength anymore.

At the last glance, he saw the door of the room being knocked open from the outside, and countless strange black figures pouring in...

…

Angela had a confusing and long dream. The specific content was unclear. She only vaguely remembered that there were other players in the dream, including Lu Li...

She thought about it for a while, but she really couldn't remember what she saw, so she stopped embarrassing her memory and fell asleep again.

"Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang..."

After the bell rang four times, Angela opened her eyes on time.

There is a white identity card hanging high in the upper right corner of the sight.

On the card, a gentleman in white robes holds a scroll in one hand and a pen in the other, writing indecipherable golden characters in the air.

Angela looked at the system interface in the upper left corner of her sight, her brows frowning unconsciously.

Her identity is "scholar", and the identity effect is the position of perceived money.

After Yuna distributed the banknotes to the player, she could clearly see on the system interface that there were fifteen dots including herself.

This is her first dungeon after becoming an official player. Her force value is low and she has no unlocked skills. It seems that the game gave her an identity that allows her to obtain more information in order to balance the strength of each player.

Just why, after just one night, there are two less dots on the system interface?

Two pieces of money disappeared out of thin air? Two people were robbed of their money?

Or - two people died?
