Survivorship Bias

    The rainbow potion was sprayed continuously, which meant they couldn't go to the next room to check for clues, or risk distortion.

    The story that Yang Erci told made everyone sigh, and everyone fell silent.

    War not only exists in the time when it was launched and ended, the land that used to be blood-stained, has also left highly toxic old wounds today.

    Poison seeps into the ground, blooms into flowers, bears fruit, and is metabolized by generation after generation of flesh and blood to clear it.

    An Wujiu lowered his head and stared at his toes, the child just now kept appearing in his mind.

    Not like the NPCs who were arranged to wait for them here, but more like the ghosts trapped in the old places in the movies.

    The last words of the bear are still in my ears.

    Not just the sentence just now, but all the words it said after entering the second floor.

    Especially the one said to Josh, "There is a circus performance at night, please Mr. Clown open the door on time."

    He rolled up his sleeves and looked at the electronic watch on his watch, still stuck at 3:20:41 in the morning.

    Except for him and Shen Ti, no one else had a watch on their hands, nor was there any clock hanging in the corridor, not even a single window.

    How do they know if it is day or night.

    There must be something showing the time.

    “How many did you try to open the half of the room just now?” An Wujiu asked Josh.

    Josh thought for a while, "I only tried three rooms, and they were all locked and couldn't be opened. It said that the children were out."

    An Wujiu pondered for a moment, "Our ultimate goal is to escape from this shelter, but the purpose of the single floor is to find the door to the next floor and get the fragments."

    "The door on the upper floor only appeared after the nine-square grid was displayed on the ground, which means that Nanshan cracked the spatial illusion, and finally the door in the space between me and Shen Ti appeared. Appear."

    " And the fragments are obtained after cracking the work log and cracking the door, so this time, there will be no illusions, but the work log is very likely to exist, and you will get fragments if you find the log Opportunity."

    After listening to An Wugui's analysis, Josh understood his task a lot more clearly, "So my work log must also be hidden in these rooms."

    "I think so."

    Zhong Yirou leaned against the wall, perhaps because of the severe pain just now, her face was extremely pale, "Then how do you find the door?"

    Shen Ti seemed sleepy.

    "Let's just group."

    "Grouping?" Josh didn't understand, "But on the first floor, because we were separated, we each entered a different space, wouldn't this increase the difficulty of the game? "

    An Wujiu shook his head, "I also think it can be grouped."

    This is a risky proposition, but An Wujiu wants to try it.

    "I want to take a bet." He said, "Different floors may have different ways of preventing us from finding the door. The first floor is to spread us apart, and we can't walk like ghosts hitting the wall. go out."

    "But the people who came to the second floor were all those who had passed the test of the first floor and had already found a way to break the illusion. I'm afraid there will be a different method at the altar."

    "But that's not necessarily true." Yang Erci opened her mouth and expressed her concerns.

    “Of course.” An Wujiu’s expression was calm, “Actually, I hope that after we separate, we find that we can’t find each other like last time, which means it’s still the same illusion. , then I'll have to trouble Nan Shan again."

    Nan Shan, who has been smiling all the time, seems to be a little lethargic at this moment, but she still responded to An Wujiu's words, "No problem."

    "How to group?" Wu You directly fast-forwards to the next question.

    An Wujiu thought for a while, "We can't be too scattered. There are two themes in this layer, so we can simply divide them into two teams, and the efficiency of searching for work logs will be higher."

    Zhong Yirou suggested, "Let's just do it, the rainbow baby has already checked three rooms, plus we all walked through once, the task load is relatively small, three people will do, and the remaining four One to the double angel side."

    Yang Erci nodded, agreeing, and then pointed to the spot where they stood, "We will be in groups of four, An Wujiu, you should be in groups of three."

    The "you three" she said were him, Shen Ti, and Josh.

    "I want to be with Brother Wu Jiu." Wu You expressed his dissatisfaction.

    Shen Ti stood facing him, his index finger scratched the lower eyelid of his left eye, and made a face at him, "Your blameless brother will only be with me."

    An Wujiu was helpless to his childishness, but still comforted Wu You, "You and Nanshan, I am more at ease with him. If you find suspicious information, let Josh go over. , he should have permission."

    Because they are divided into different spaces on the first floor, information cannot flow.

    "After parting, call each other's name after a while, and both sides respond to make sure everyone is still in the same corridor."

    Zhong Yirou nodded, "This time, maybe I will meet an NPC pretending to be a player. If there is another person who is ordered, don't believe it directly, try it first."

    "Hmm."

    In this way, they divided into two teams, Zhong Yirou, Yang Erci, Nan Shan and Wu You went to the other side to find clues.

    Seeing that the other four had already walked towards the [Double Perfect Angel] on the other side, Josh also got close to An Wujiu, "When will we go back to this rainbow corridor just now? ."

    An Wujiu is standing on the other wall of the corridor, that is, in front of the wall in the "back" type structure, this wall is the same as the other walls on this floor, There is a whole painted mural painted with various small animals, including monkeys, tigers, elephants and rabbits.

    "Wait a minute." An Wujiu knocked on the wall in front of him, there was a muffled sound inside, like a broken drum.

    He finished knocking when he heard another knock. When he turned around, he saw Shen Ti's fingers bent, knocking on the wall on the other side of the room. He knocked several times, and the wall in front of the door made a muffled sound, while the sound of the room and the wall in front of the room was very solid, and there was no sense of space.

    Shen Ti raised his chin towards the wall in front of An Wujiu, and directly pointed out An Wujiu's thoughts, "Behind that wall is a circus."

    "But there is no door yet."

    Shen Ti smiled, "Maybe it's not even night yet."

    What they said made Josh standing beside him stunned, and he couldn't react at once, "What are you talking about? Is this a circus?"

    "I think it's possible." An Wujiu turned around and leaned against the wall, "Although the building area of ​​each floor is reduced, the layout is unlikely to change, so this floor There should also be a large space in the middle, except here, I can't think of other places that can be used as a circus, not to mention that there is indeed a space behind this wall."

    While speaking, the corridor at the end of the rainbow baby suddenly stopped spraying the potion, and the small planes that the mini jars turned into disappeared in an instant.

    Everything went back to the way they had just entered this floor.

    "Are you just waiting for them to stop spraying?" Josh didn't understand, "How do you know he'll stop?"

    An Wujiu said softly, "I guess."

    He did not explain the reason, but he felt that it was cruel to say it.

    But Shen Ti behind him said directly, "Because of guiding mistakes and punishing education."

    "Guided to make mistakes?" A puzzled look appeared on Josh's face.

    Shen Ti touched his earrings with his hand and said in a casual tone, "If you only spray once and keep it continuous, then everyone will know that it will be distorted after they touch the medicine, but because everyone will hide Safe zone, so this distortion will also disappear very quickly. Such a process is not enough.”

    "Having experienced pain once is far less profound than experiencing pain repeatedly."

    Josh's chestnut hair was tousled, his brows were furrowed, and his face was sad.

    An Wujiu also stopped, because he was very curious why Shen Ti was always able to understand his thoughts immediately.

    He is not the one who has his thoughts written on his face.

    Shen Ti moved his fingers and continued, "But if you spray for a few minutes, then it ends, and everything returns to normal, the player will definitely try to walk into this half of the corridor again, because there are still tasks that have not been completed. At this time, they will hold a fluke mentality and still have a little bit of timidity, but the longer the normal time, the less timidity, and the original fluke will become more and more practical. "

    Speaking, he clapped his hands together and slapped the contemplative Josh.

    "Spray the potion again at this time to distort the player and experience the pain again, wouldn't it be more profound?"

    Josh stayed in place.

    “You’re too scary.” An Wujiu’s dark eyes stared at Shen Ti, and a little complaining expression appeared on his usually calm face, “You scared Josh.”

    Shen Ti smiled brightly, "I just said what you think."

    He swept An Wu Jiao's shoulders smoothly, with a pleasant tone, "Well, next time I will work a little less."

    "Josh." An Wujiu turned his head and called Josh over, his voice soothed, "Follow closely, this is safer."

    "Are we under the guidance of the altar now?" Josh's light brown pupils shook slightly, as if very nervous.

    An Wujiu still stepped into the other side of the rainbow, "We just saw through their guidance in advance, and in turn used it as a clue."

    He took Josh's hand and asked him to try to unscrew the door of the nearest room, but the same prompt as the first few rooms still popped up.

    [D03, today is play day, the children are not at home. ]

    Not at home means that these rooms are the children's residence?

    Why not at home? Isn't this a closed containment center?

    Shen Ti looked to the other end, raised one hand, put his palm to his mouth, and shouted.

    "Little-ghost-"

    Not long after, there was a bad tone of response from there.

    "Shut up."

    Josh tried the next one again, but it also couldn't be opened.

    An Wujiu reminded: "The interval between rainbow potions should not be very long. Once a rainbow tin can appears, escape to the other side."

    "Does it hurt us?"

    “I just saw that Yirou Nanshan’s state is not right, I don’t know if it’s because of this.” An Wujiu thought about it, and felt a little unreasonable, because his state was actually It's fine.

    Zhong Yirou on the other end is exactly as An Wujiu said, the whole person feels something is not right, as if the previous illusion is still in effect, at this moment she can still smell the rotten breath of the first floor .

    And her breathing was also very abnormal, and the inexplicable suffocation made her breathless.

    "What?" Wu You looked defensive.

    "If I fall asleep accidentally, give me an injection." Nan Shan rolled up her sleeves, "On the arm."

    "Why did you fall asleep?" Wu You couldn't understand, looked at the needle in his hand, and looked up at him again.

    Nan Shan confessed, "I have central narcolepsy, and I may cataplexy anytime and anywhere. I need someone to give me a central nervous system stimulant to wake up immediately, otherwise it will take a long time."

    Wu You didn't know what to say for a while, but she still put away the injection with a cold face.

    "Dare to lie to me and you will die."

    Yang Erci had some doubts, "You have this disease, how did you survive the last round?"

    Nan Shan said with a smile: "It's a little regrettable. Last time I happened to encounter a Chinese horror game, I thought I could show my skills, and I was very excited at first. No one knows, even the NPC who killed a lot of players thought I was dead. I woke up after the final settlement and settled with everyone. However, the final score was not too high. For such a professional game, only take It's really a bit of a loss to get the lowest score."

    Does this work?

    Wu You's face collapsed, and for a while he had the evil idea of ​​throwing away his tube of medicine.

    Sure enough, he is not a serious Taoist priest, but a jerk.

    The rooms here are also locked several times. Unlike the Rainbow Baby side just now, the walls here are not ordinary paintings. A beautiful forest with lush vegetation and flowers. But a closer look reveals a uterus painted like a flower, as well as other obscure reproductive organs.

    "It's strange." Wu You, who had been observing the wall, came to a conclusion, "It's full of little boys, why are there no girls?"

    Zhong Yirou also looked at the wall, her lips became paler, and the scene in front of her was also doubled due to dizziness, but she still tried her best to hold her breath. But just looking at it, I found a little girl with hair behind a red maple tree. She was hiding behind a tree, wearing a red dress, only a small half of her body sticking out, and she drew very cutely.

    "Isn't this the little girl?"

    Wu You heard the sound and came over and took a closer look.

    "It's obviously a boy with short hair and overalls."

    How is that possible?

    Zhong Yirou watched it again.

    This time, the child on the wall actually stood up from behind the tree. Her right side had loose long hair, and she was wearing a small red dress, while the left half had short hair and blue bibs.

    Not only that, but the child also opened his smiling mouth, and the small lips opened and closed in the painting.

    "Sister, do you like boys or girls?"
