order side player

Seeing through the camouflage and killing monsters again, it doesn't seem like an ordinary person can do it, but if you bring two-star props, it can barely make sense... To be honest, it's very reluctant.

Hearing Tietou's question, Qiu Se immediately raised her head and looked over with burning eyes.Obviously, he had already had a similar guess—there was a high probability that someone was carrying a two-star item, otherwise why would the difficulty of the assessment task suddenly increase?

Ye Bai was stunned for a moment.

"Two star props? Why?" he asked.

Before Qiu Se and Tietou could react, Ye Bai rubbed his chin and said in a deep thought: "Brother Tietou, do you suspect that I can only deal with monsters with two-star props? No, this is too arbitrary. The point is, Are you very sure that someone is carrying a two-star item? Why? Well, considering the change in attitude between you and Qiu Se..."

Thinking of this, Ye Bai nodded slightly: "I see. No wonder you lost your composure at the beginning. Contestants carry two-star props into the assessment, which will increase the difficulty of the task. Is that so?"

"Uh..." Tietou shrank his head for some reason, feeling as if he was facing some indescribable humanoid ghost.

"Unfortunately, I'm a real newcomer. Before today, I had no experience with player-related things." Ye Bai pointed at one of the monster corpses with his crutch, "Go there and look for it, it should be Find a card, pick it up and understand. Well, I thought I could hide it a little bit, and use it to prove my innocence."

To be honest, if he had relied on his own judgment just now, Ye Bai might have been very wary of the two teammates who had become monsters, but he would not have taken action directly. After all, he would have risked accidentally injuring his teammates.But the red heart card that can detect props helped him make up his mind-these two fakes didn't have any props on them.

The two props of Tietou are in the pockets, so it is possible to insist that they are lost, what about the autumn colors?His props are the clothes on his body, how can he find two identical clothes to replace the props?

After comprehensive consideration, he roughly assessed the risks and necessity, and then Ye Bai acted without hesitation.

Chapter 8 Speculation

"There are no two-star props..."

After Iron Head picked up the Heart card and used it for a while, he soon found out about it.

Both he and Qiu Se have two one-star props, this card belongs to Ye Bai, and Ye Bai only has this one-star prop.He suspected for a moment that the crutch was a prop, but it was actually just a sharpened cane.

Mengmeng didn't bring any of them, she seemed to be a purer cutie than Ye Bai.

Well, now Ye Bai is really just an ordinary person.

So, did a disabled person kill two monsters with an ordinary cane and an auxiliary item?

It's absurd to think about it, not to mention that these two monsters quickly returned to their original bodies after they died, and they couldn't even see the traces of... fighting.Although Ms. Mengmeng seemed quite excited, she danced and described the incident just now to them, using all kinds of onomatopoeic words "唰", "嗖", and "啪", they couldn't imagine what the scene was like.

Iron Head cast his gaze over naturally, and Ye Bai explained: "After becoming a human, this kind of monster is actually similar to an ordinary person, and it also sneaks up behind the scenes. With the physique of Brother Iron Head, it can also punch one by one. "

"Well……"

Not feeling comforted at all, both Tie Tou and Qiu Se felt as if they were witnessing something bizarre.

"Okay, I have proved my innocence here," Ye Bai said, "You two, shouldn't you be honest too?"

Tie Tou looked at Qiu Se, he had just used a card of hearts, and he also noticed the two props on Qiu Se.Qiu Se shrugged and said, "Well, actually, I didn't intend to hide anything. I am a preliminary member of the non-governmental player organization 'Dawn Redemption', and I brought two one-star props, which are my clothes."

It is natural for human beings to fight in groups when faced with a phenomenon that can be called a natural disaster, such as ghosts.Since the appearance of monsters and players half a year ago, large and small player organizations have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and "Dawn Redemption" belongs to the more famous group among them.

Ye Bai nodded: "As a potential member of a large organization, I understand."

"'Dawn Salvation'? The famous super-large order-side player organization," Tietou said speechlessly, "then what the hell did you do when you first came in?"

Qiu Se wondered: "What am I doing? This is the content of the organization's training. I know a lot of information, and I have brought props. One of the tasks is to be responsible for leading newcomers to pass the assessment task. I just didn't expect you to suddenly appear. I came out to speak, so I stopped talking, is there a problem?"

"Of course there is a problem. You are too amateurish. You are not as high-profile as you when you lead newcomers on missions. The professional ones are secretly guiding you." Tie Tou took out two small notebooks from his pocket, "I It's a reserve player of the official player organization 'Special Affairs Bureau', here, here is the ID, take a look."

Ye Bai nodded again: "The official player organization, the Bureau of Special Affairs, I understand."

"Good guy, are you a professional from the Special Affairs Bureau? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. By the way, is the way to guide secretly is to directly show your ID card? Got it, brother Tietou." Qiu Se cupped her hands.

"Isn't this an unexpected situation? At least I'm better than you, push-up man." Iron Head countered.

"You're right, gay boxer." Qiu Se nodded.

"..."

Ye Bai looked at Miss Mengmeng: "How do you evaluate them?"

"Uh, crouching dragon and phoenix chick?"

"It's hard to say," Ye Bai said, "It's a bit like the actor who is responsible for cross talk and funny in movies."

The argument between the two came to an abrupt end, and they looked at each other. Qiu Se said angrily, "My props are these two pieces of clothing. If the top and bottom are separated, they can only be deformed at will, keep clean, keep warm and comfortable; but When combined, it can provide me with cat-like agility and eyesight, and some protection on the face. But the side effect is that I have to do push-ups for 1 minute every hour, and the time is random."

Tietou said: "I brought two one-star items, one is a fist with a certain attack power, and the other is glasses that can see through the weakness of monsters."

"See through the monster's weakness?" Qiu Se blurted out, "Why didn't you use such easy-to-use glasses just now?"

"The side effects are relatively serious. Basically, under the condition of ensuring safety, it is best for each person to use it only twice, and I bring this item just in case, who would have thought that I would encounter a monster that mimics me in the qualification assessment task. Spirit...but now for the sake of trust between the teams, it must be used."

As Tietou said, he took out a box from his pocket, opened it, and carefully took out a translucent lens from it, put it in front of his eyes, and then looked straight in Ye Bai's direction.

A lily pattern quickly appeared on the back of his left hand. Tie Tou quickly retracted the lens and heaved a sigh of relief: "Okay, it's human."

Ye Bai: "..."

Would you rather pay "very serious side effects" and have to confirm that I am indeed human?

"Okay, we can finally trust each other. I didn't expect to meet a mimetic monster, which almost triggered a crisis of trust between the teams."

Qiu Se and Tietou finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Ye Bai and Mengmeng, and after handing back the cards of hearts, Tietou took out the gauze and tape from the backpack and prepared to treat the wound.

Mengmeng quickly said: "Let me help."

On Qiu Se's arm and Tie Tou's shoulder, there were bloodstains like sharp blades. The prototype of the mimetic monster had sharp teeth and nails, and when it rubbed a little, it was a slender wound.

"Okay, now tell me, what did you find on it?" Ye Bai asked.

Tie Tou took out a few pages of notebook paper from his pocket and handed it over: "This is just found, you read it first, we will tell you what we found on it."

So Ye Bai started to look through the notes, Tie Tou and Qiu Se complemented each other, and soon explained what they found on the second and third floors.The main one was the second floor. They hadn't explored the third floor much before they encountered strange spirits.

"Um……"

After Ye Bai finished flipping through the notes, he unwrapped a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth, and began to meditate.

Qiu Se tied the wound, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I don't know how many mimicry monsters there are. If there are more, we will really be in trouble."

"What's more troublesome is that they seem to be very smart, and it's hard to tell the real from the fake after the imitation," Iron Head carefully put an ordinary glove on his left hand to cover the lily on the back of his hand, "unless we stay in Together, otherwise I will doubt whether the other party is real every time I meet."

"A secret sign?" Qiu Se asked.

"Code, whoever calls first and who calls later? If the one who calls first encounters a monster and leaks the code, the one who calls later will be in danger."

"Then just don't separate anymore."

"By the way, Mr. Qiu Se, Mr. Iron Head," Mengmeng said, "Why do those monsters mimic? Their original... honor, it seems to be very powerful, isn't it?"

Tie Tou was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "If I guessed correctly, Qiu Se's props increase agility. If we really want to fight, it's not a problem for us to simply fight against them. Just now, we were only injured by a surprise attack. "

Iron Head's "Male Punch" did quite a lot of damage. Just a hasty glance just now seemed to have knocked half of the nose of the Mimic, but it was a pity that he was in a hurry to retreat and couldn't observe more carefully.

"But, brother Bai Yi and I were looking at the mural over there just now," Mengmeng pointed to the corner, "I'm a girl, brother Bai Yi is disabled on the surface, we look like a waste duo, why don't they How about sneak attacking us in the original form?"

"You said so..."

Qiu Se and Tie Tou looked at each other, and suddenly felt that what Meng Meng said made sense.If you only look at it from the surface, Qiu Se and Tie Tou undoubtedly belong to the "young and middle-aged group", while Ye Bai and Mengmeng belong to the "old, weak, sick and disabled group". Why bother, mime deception?

"That's because if we haven't separated, they can't change back to their original posture. The fake iron head just opened its mouth and wanted to separate me from Mengmeng. I suggested another combination, and it agreed without hesitation." Ye Bai said, "Obviously, they can only attack lonely people."

"It makes sense, this should be a rule of action," Qiu Se pondered, "Thinking about it carefully, when Tietou and I were assigned a monster just now, they didn't do it directly, but delayed for a while. We didn't do it until we were completely separated... At that time, I was in the corridor, and the iron head was in the stairs... Does this count as loneliness?"

"Well, so be careful not to leave alone. The number of such monsters should be four to five, and now there are two or three left. Let's not separate anymore, hold hands when necessary, and strictly confirm Don't lose your companions out of sight." Ye Bai said.

"Okay... why four or five?"

"Because there is very likely a second kind of ghost in this castle, and it is the culprit that caused the deaths of six people—you can go and see the fireplace." Ye Bai said, "The notes are very detailed, and I have almost I understand what's going on with the mimic ghost, and I'm almost sure."

Is it written in great detail?Isn't that a travel diary?Tietou tried his best to think back, and felt that there was no special information.

Ye Bai put down the paper in his hand, pointed to the corpses of the two ghosts, "The ghost who turned into the iron-headed brother just now also has a few pages in his hand, whoever gets it."

Qiu Se quickly went over and flipped through it. There were indeed a few pages, and they were different from the ones they found.

Ye Bai took it and held it in his hand, and looked at it with the light of the flashlight.

【Blu and Jenny, Jack and Rose, are two young couples and good friends. Every time I see them sitting together talking and laughing, I can always think of my youth...】

【The flame in the fireplace is really warm, it reminds me of the spring in my hometown...】

【Everyone is very tired, let's find a way to sleep early, and hope to worship under the Lord of Wind and Snow as soon as possible. 】

[Great, there are exactly six bedrooms on the second floor, one for every two people, which is just right. 】

【I'm going to have a room with Little Charlie. I have the best relationship with him.But Blue actually ran over and asked if I wanted to sleep with him?Where's your little sweetheart Jenny?Of course I refused. 】

【It turns out that Blue and Jack share one room, and Jenny and Rose share one room... I understand, boys always claim that they like sleeping with their brothers, and girls always claim that they like sleeping with their girlfriends. Hey, isn’t it time for the sages?Really, those of us who have been here don't understand. 】

[For some reason, the windows of all bedrooms on the second floor are boarded up. 】

[Forget it, never mind, everyone is sleepy, sleep is important. 】

[In the middle of the night, Little Charlie woke me up, and I was very angry. The sleep of the elderly is very important.But Charlie said that he seemed to hear someone knocking on the window, Lord of the Wind and Snow, outside the window is the snowfield of eternal despair? 】

[I immediately took Charlie back to the lobby on the first floor, not daring to stay in the bedroom for long]

[I don't know why, but the flame in the fireplace seems to be getting dimmer]

"I almost understand," Ye Bai put down the paper, "Before this 'Desperate Ice Field Tour Group' rested together, four of the 12 people had already died."

Chapter 9 Just bar, I will bar

"Obviously, those two young couples have turned into four mimetic ghosts."

"A Mimic, let's call it that. It's born on the condition that someone is alone and judged to be 'lonely' - I guess the condition is that no one is looking at the victim, and the victim is not looking at anyone else, which is loneliness Apparently Mr Blue, who briefly disappeared and then reappeared, was replaced by a Mimic upon his return, and his girlfriend soon became the second."

"Wait, birth conditions?" Qiu Se was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this the original ghost in the castle?"

"If this kind of monster can only appear by relying on 'lonely' people, then there is no difference whether it exists in 1 or is born out of thin air: anyway, there are only a few people left alone, and only a few of them will appear. If I'm not mistaken, that mural is the proof of becoming a mimic."

Ye Bai pointed to the "mural" in the corner, and continued: "Mr. Blue came back as a ghost, and then took Jenny away. Miss Jenny went upstairs with her lover. Obviously, she is satisfied with the fact that her lover is fake." The condition of 'lonely' was met, attacked by a monster, and a second mimic monster appeared."

"And then there's Jack and Rose. If they do sleep in the same room with the ghost at night, there's no way they can escape."

"There are still eight of the twelve people left. Obviously, apart from Reiner and Little Charlie, there is a high probability that the other six people died in a brutal massacre in their sleep on the second floor. What is it, I guess and It’s about knocking on the window written in the notebook.”

"Okay, if there is no problem, let's go to the second floor to have a look." Ye Bai said.

"Wait, have you finished exploring here on the first floor?" Qiu Se asked, "Aside from the fireplace and the murals in the corner, are there any other places worth noting?"

"In my guess, there shouldn't be any," Ye Bai said. "This is only a place to dispose of corpses. The real danger is on the second floor."

Tie Tou hurriedly followed, and muttered: "I feel that the fireplace is still quite dangerous, should we deal with those heads? It looks weird."

I heard the fake Bai Yi say that there were heads crawling along the spine in the fireplace in the lobby on the first floor, but I didn't expect that there were really heads there, so Tie Tou always felt unnatural looking at the pile of heads.

"I don't know much about ghosts and assessment tasks. Is it normal for a few heads to move and kill everywhere?" Ye Bai asked.

"...Of course not! At least not in the assessment task!"

Tie Touxin said that the assessment task is not what it is now. After all, it is an assessment of player qualifications. Generally speaking, reserve players are faced with tasks of solving puzzles, exploring, and fighting. The monsters they need to face are basically It is also within the common sense of ordinary people. Generally speaking, the combat part only accounts for one-third of the test at most.

Even so, the probability of failure or even group destruction is very high. For ordinary people, in an adventure involving life, any reaction is normal.No matter how excellent aptitude is, it is futile if it is not brought into play.

For example, the level of danger of mimetic monsters is extremely high for ordinary people, and this thing is plural, even in the mimetic state, it has the fighting power of ordinary people. If it is placed in other assessment tasks, it will be properly closed. boss.

"That's fine. There's nothing scary about the head. You might as well be afraid of the other two surviving mimics. And actually, I can almost guess what's going on with those heads," Ye Bai said, "Wait up to the second floor. Let's see."

"I still have a question that I don't quite understand... Are they originally arranged in a row?"

"No, I dug them out and placed them like that for easy viewing and comparison."

Qiu Se thought for a while and said: "Even if I encounter fake products next time, I will never be deceived. Your personal characteristics are too obvious..."

Since there are still at least two mimetic ghosts, in order to avoid being mixed in, it is better not to separate the next actions. Anyway, the castle is not big, and even collective exploration will not take long.

When everyone reached the stairs leading to the second floor, Ye Bai immediately paused.

"Do you need me to help you up?" Tietou asked, "Or I can carry you on my back."

"No, my movements are fine... What I want to ask is, has this staircase always been broken like this?" Ye Bai stared at the half-destroyed staircase.

"Uh, at least in our eyes, it doesn't have a complete posture... Is this important?" Iron Head was a little strange, "You may not know that in the assessment mission, any kind of terrain and any kind of existence may appear , it's brand new or totally destroyed, that's fine."

"It would be fine if this was just a background that was randomly altered. The problem is that if my guess is correct, it means that we may have to face more than one boss...Let's go."

Ye Bai shook his head and stepped up the stairs first.

As Qiu Se and the others said, the configuration on the second floor is a corridor with three rooms on the left and right.

Ye Bai stood in the corridor, looked around, and said, "There should be two bedroom doors closed when you came up, right?"

"Well, the doors of the two innermost rooms are closed." Qiu Se said, "We didn't touch it."
