The tour guide's shadow was very powerful, countering every move. She was usually so bound by rules that it was easy to overlook the strength of her true form. Seeing the fight between the two sides, Wen Shi quietly sat a little further in.
While Shadow blocked the tour guide's flying kick with his arm, he threw the knife at a tricky angle with his other hand. The sound of a gust of wind tore through the air, and the knife came towards Wen Shi accurately.
"Oh my god." Wen Shi bent down immediately, wondering why there are always people who like to use swords and knives as hidden weapons these days.
Compared to the old lady's kitchen knife, this short knife's attack was gentler. At least it would not miss the target, and it would consciously cut around in circles.
The knife finally stabbed into the side of the bed, nailing the quilt and sheets together. The mosquito boss who risked his life to come and take a look reported another string of numbers.
Taking advantage of the tour guide's distraction, Shadow rushed into the house. Wen Shi drew his sword and imitated the other party's just-in-law, throwing it hard. Shadow's movements paused, and when he dodged, he was kicked hard in the back.
The tour guide angrily shouted: "Go to hell."
Shadow glanced at Wen Shi with murderous intent in her eyes, and the next second she jumped out the window and escaped.
This shadow must not be left behind, so the tour guide blew the whistle and asked all the tourists to come out.
The doors opened a crack one after another. The tour guide pointed at Wen Shi with a cold face and said, "Everyone, guard him. If he dies, then we will all die together."
She couldn't afford such a mistake at work.
The tour guide left a backup plan because he was worried that Shadow would make a surprise attack, and then he jumped out of the window to chase after him.
As the Mosquito Boss howled in pain, the first person to come over to check on the situation was Li Nan. He was previously in a blind spot and couldn't see clearly, but now when he saw the mess on the ground and Wen Shi wrapped in a bathrobe, his expression became a little interesting.
Li Nan thought he had good reasoning ability, but he couldn't imagine what had happened.
After Li Nan appeared, everyone came over one after another. When they saw Wen Shi, who was wearing a bed sheet and walking barefoot on the ground, they took a few steps back.
Someone said, "Is this the kind of deal I imagined?"
Wen Shi: "…"
You'd better speak human language.
In the crowd, Qian Lai turned his head away feeling guilty. Was it such a precise attack?
He always felt that Wen Shi was targeted that night, and it was related to what he said in the afternoon. Would he be the next one?
Wen Shi walked forward wrapped in a sheet, ready to go back to the room to change clothes, explaining as he walked: "The tour guide has a long shadow."
Just this one sentence was enough for everyone to imagine a lot, and when they looked at Wen Shi again, there was a hint of sympathy in their eyes.
The tour guide, who had been having a smooth life, suffered a setback in her life after meeting Wen Shi. It seems that she has finally chosen to give up, but this seems to be just the beginning of her tragedy.
Qian Laiye heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He didn't have the ability to become the tour guide's "original intention", and the rules would not allow him to find a place to act against him in a short time.
In the corridor, Wen Shi walked in front, followed by a group of people.
The tour guide's final threat was not just a rant. If Wen Shi died at Shadow's hands, she would be held responsible and would definitely vent her anger on the tourists and try every possible means to kill them.
Wen Shixian went into the bathroom, locked the door, and changed into his regular clothes. Only then did he notice that his hair was a mess, like a bird's nest.
"call--"
What sins has he committed?
When he walked out of the bathroom again, there was a group of people standing outside. Even though Wen Shi had a strong mentality, he still felt a little embarrassed facing such a scene.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the young man standing by the dressing mirror, his eyes filled with unconcealed gloating. Wen Shi chuckled, deciding to wait and see if the tour guide had any success in hunting shadows before deciding whether to tell the young man about his true spirit.
The room seemed very crowded. Wen Shi whispered, "Actually, we don't need so many people."
No one listened to this. The reason for gathering together was that no one knew what the tour guide's shadow was like, and it was unsafe to be alone.
The cold reminder sounded, bringing some comfort.
"Congratulations on completing the special mission - Who is the murderer?"
"Special rewards have been issued, please check."
There were so many people around that Wen Shi didn't have the energy to look at any rewards anymore. He was in a daze.
His transformation still had some time to wear off, so he subconsciously took out the teddy bear and said in a soliciting tone, "If you're all right, I'll go to sleep first."
Alternating between hot and cold, and going through another chase, my brain nerves were throbbing with pain.
Unlike the unscrupulous boy, Wen Shi had a sense of fragility, and his cat ears drooped weakly.
"Go to sleep." Xiaohua said with a rare burst of maternal love.
Wen Shi hugged Xiong and crawled into the quilt. The group of people silently found a place to sit in the house.
At night, you can occasionally hear the sound of someone breathing hard through their nose.
Wen Shi wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, frowned uncomfortably, and hummed softly twice.
The boy closest to him hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched his forehead. It wasn't too hot, but it wasn't normal temperature either.
"I have a fever."
Qian Laiye came to his senses after hearing this, rubbed his eyes and said, "I'll go to the pharmacy to check."
The nearby pharmacies are open 24 hours a day, but it's not safe to go out alone. He looked between Li Nan and Yu Xingzhou. Yu Xingzhou stood up and said, "Let's go."
The two of them quickly bought the medicine, and the hot water was robbed by the girl from the stingy mosquito boss.
There was no need to shout specifically, Wen Shi's sense of smell was still not too lost, and he got up on his own when he smelled the medicine, picked up the bowl and drank slowly, being a very well-behaved person.
...like a little child.
Just one second after the thought came to his mind, Yu Xingzhou shuddered and forcefully dispelled this consciousness. He must not be brainwashed like Ji Yuanzhi.
The night passed quickly.
The sky was just turning pale as the Mosquito Boss carefully counted all the losses. Not long after, a silver-haired woman covered in blood walked into the inn carrying a corpse.
The boss who was about to claim compensation got scared and crossed out the twelve items that he had secretly added to the bill.
The woman carried the corpse up the stairs, and the strong smell of blood made the players and shadows very alert.
The tour guide threw the body to the ground and said coldly, "It's me."
The monster's shadow was very direct. The guide's eyes when she looked at Wen Shi were filled with anger and rage, and a hint of sadness. If it were a shadow, it would probably only be murderous and cold, not so human.
And the culprit of all this... Wen Shi had just woken up and waved his hand weakly, signaling everyone not to say anything about each other. He hadn't gotten anything good out of it yet.
In the tense atmosphere, Song Yan spoke weakly, "The boss called downstairs and said it's time to eat."
He stood near the door. The usually quiet Mosquito Boss was shouting with resentment today.
Shadow's troubles had been resolved. After staying up most of the night, everyone hurried back to wash up. Wen Shi rubbed his temples and found that Song Yan had not left yet. His voice was slightly hoarse: "What's the matter?"
Song Yan pointed at the corpse on the ground. Although he was a little scared, he still insisted, "She looks like she died not long ago. Do you want to ask the boss to rent a refrigerator to freeze her? This copy has been stripping away organs. Maybe this corpse can be put to good use."
The tour guide threw Shadow's body into Wen Shi's room, somewhat to vent her anger. She probably didn't expect that someone would actually want to make use of the waste.
Wen Shi looked at Song Yan deeply and said only two words: Go.
His affirmation seemed to be very important to Song Yan. The latter forced himself to close his eyes. Although he was extremely disgusted, he still suppressed his nausea and dragged the corpse away.
The room finally returned to complete silence. Wen Shi stood up and poured a glass of water. Song Yan's obsession with amassing wealth gave him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. Because of his swollen throat, Wen Shi felt a little pain when swallowing the water. Finally, he reacted and muttered, "Like me."
"..." Wen Shi could now more or less understand how people around him felt when they looked at him. Ignoring other people's opinions, he cheered himself up and checked the rewards for yesterday's mission.
[K9999 Ticket*2: With this ticket, you can take the K9999 train again the next time you enter the dungeon, heading to the final destination - Mermaid Coast.]
Completely different from ordinary train tickets, these two tickets are made quite delicately, lake blue in color, with a slightly raised mermaid image on the surface that has a metallic luster, like a work of art.
"Mermaid Coast." Wen Shi looked at the words on the ticket and remembered that the girl said that the scarecrow's shadow did not get off the bus. If he took the bus to the end, he would most likely meet him there.
He put away the ticket. If he wanted to reach the Mermaid Coast, he first had to get out of Sunset Town alive. It was too early to consider whether to go to the next dungeon.
·
Breakfast time.
The player and Shadow sat at separate tables to eat, while the tour guide bargained with the boss.
After lunch, the tour guide led the team out directly. It was not yet nine o'clock, and they set off an hour earlier than yesterday.
As soon as I entered the narrow alley, I encountered a fight between the rabbit clerk of the drugstore and the bull man across the street. Sunset Town is a good place for retirement, but robberies and fights are rampant. The residents here are mostly orcs, and they are used to it.
Wen Shi took a closer look when he passed by and once again confirmed the theory of true spirit.
Also relying on virus evolution, the NPCs in this copy world did not experience the complete collapse of employees in large factories. If the impact of evolution is not taken into account, it can even be said to be a successful human body transformation.
The group waited at the bus stop for a long time.
They are going to take bus No. 104 today. This bus does not pass through many stations, but the route is very long. The bus stop sign even specifically specifies the time from the starting point to the end point in small letters: 2 hours and 40 minutes.
Finally, they got on the bus and drove from the bustling city to a remote scenic spot. The nearly three-hour drive made the tour group, who had not rested well to begin with, look even uglier. When they got off the bus, everyone's steps were unsteady.
Ticket office.
The boss was eating some fresh meat strips when business came in. He opened the small window and his smile froze when he saw a group of people outside.
The tourists who were on night watch were listless, the tour guide had dark circles under her eyes, and each of them exuded the resentment of a ghost. The boss was frightened by their mental state.
However, when he saw the tourists, the boss's mouth widened again. Every time it was his turn to visit, there were not many tourists left. Most of them were taken away by the tour guides. This time it was not bad.
After carrying out a small box from the ticket hall, the boss came out and couldn't wait to introduce the art gallery he ran.
"Most art galleries are about elegance and quiet," the owner scoffed. "In my Mirror House, everyone can have fun."
There is a glass building in front of us. The smooth glass panels reflect the color of the sky, and even the reflection of the clouds is extremely clear.
Wen Shi was now particularly sensitive to things like mirrors and couldn't help but keep his gaze on them for a while longer.
The entire building, angular and square like a cardboard box, stood there with a beauty of both strength and softness. Standing close beneath it, the loneliness in one's soul was aroused, and everyone suddenly became more sober.
The boss was very proud: "The Mirror House has two experience projects every day. Don't underestimate the small number of projects. I guarantee that you will get an unprecedented experience."
He looked at the girl first and said, "You don't have a tourist sign, so you can't enter."
The girl stood there quietly. Beneath her calm appearance, she was considering whether or not to turn her boss into a dead body before reasoning with him.
After the young man shook his head, the girl barely suppressed her murderous intent and muttered quietly, "This mirror house is a bit spooky. I'm not sure if you can go in alone."
"If I can avoid helping, then I won't." The boy didn't want to be self-reliant. The game had been depriving them of what they had, and if they kept borrowing external forces, they might be targeted.
Just like the tour guide stopped the turtle man on a whim at the station, which led to the subsequent targeting of Wen Shi. In his opinion, this was somewhat due to the fact that the old lady on the train helped the original body to deal with the monster.
If you force yourself to fight the game head-on, the outcome will definitely not be good. If you borrow the power of others, you will most likely get negative retribution.
The system prompt sounded, interrupting the conversation between the two people——
[Side Quest: Mirror House
After successfully experiencing the two projects in the Mirror House, the team's main quest will be activated for you.
When they heard that the main quest was about to be released, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. While their casualties were not too heavy yet, the sooner the main quest came out, the better.
This glass building has no windows, and the main entrance cannot be seen from the outside. However, the boss accurately found one of the panels and pushed it gently, and the door opened.
Everywhere you look, there are mirrors, even the floor. Looking down, you feel as if you're suspended atop a building several thousand meters high. There are no lights inside, so the owner lit a white candle, and instantly, all the mirrors lit up with tiny dots of light, a truly beautiful sight.
"Hiss." In such an environment, people will lose their most basic sense of direction. One player accidentally bumped into the mirror.
The tour guide didn't say much today, it was basically the owner of the Mirror House who did all the talking.
"All the exhibits here are legends related to mirrors." There are several hidden sliding doors in the mirror room. The boss opened two of them. The two rooms had the same number of mirrors. On the mirror of the first room, there was a sentence written in lipstick: Absolutely safe.
The second room, on the other hand, had a frightening, scrawled message: DANGER! DANGER! DANGER!
Three exclamation marks in a row, written very forcefully.
"The two experiences open today are 'Man in the Mirror' and 'Soul Screaming'. You are now seeing 'Man in the Mirror'."
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the nearby mirrored room, only to see their own reflections. Someone casually remarked, "This is just an illusion in the mirror."
The boss smiled mysteriously, his eyes wandering over them through the candlelight: "The person will be here soon."
He touched the mirror obsessively, as if caressing a lover. "You can go in and visit in groups later. The more people in a group, the safer it is."
The boss finally stopped looking at the mirror, his wicked smile reflected in the surrounding mirrors. "But there's one thing I want to emphasize: the more female tourists in your group, the more dangerous it is. If you're all male and there are four or more of you, you can enter the Absolute Safe Room."
Like the Screaming House, the rules here test human nature and can be played very easily or very hard.
Wen Shi asked Yu Xingzhou beside him: "Why is there a special limit on the number of female players?"
"In Feng Shui, mirrors and women are both yin. There are at least a thousand mirrors here. If more than the specified number of female players enter, bad things may happen." Yu Xingzhou paused for a moment after speaking, his eyes full of meaning.
The emotion in Wen Shi's eyes was equally unclear.
The guy with the buzz cut was talking to the player next to him: "This game is an old trick, it inspires the absolute evil in human nature."
Not far away, Shadow Xiaohua was also talking to Shadow Fu Zhixu. "I disdain the idea of men protecting women, but in most traditional concepts, men are always given the role of protector. This rule really satisfies the game's perverse taste."
If only female players are left at the end, it is almost a dead end for them to go in, whether in a team or individually.
Song Yan came to Wen Shi at some point and asked for his opinion.
Wen Shi pursed his lips and finally said, "Everything is relative."
According to the current discussions between most players and Shadow, it can be said that it is reasonable. After all, everyone has the right to choose and the right to be chosen. When he was in the Screaming House, he followed the principle of minority obeying the majority. It was unfair to him, but it had no impact on the overall situation.
There are now a total of five female players left, which is the same as the situation at that time when Wen Shi was there, and they are in the minority.
From this perspective, it is a test of the interests of men and women and the majority.
But Wen Shi always felt that something was wrong.
If a child and an adult died in front of the game at the same time, I guess no one would even take a second look at the game, let alone think about such a detailed issue.
He even thought that the voting principle of the Scream House was to set up a trap for the Mirror House. Under the inertia of thinking, it is easy for people to think that the Mirror House follows the same routine.
Song Yan speculated on Wen Shi's thoughts: "Boss, do you think that if this link is a trap for the female players on the surface, then there must be a tianqian waiting for us."
Someone else also considered this issue, and Shadow Qianlai also asked: "Isn't the second experience the opposite? Put a limit on the number of male tourists."
The boss smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, absolutely not."
This sentence reassured many people, which meant that as long as the interests of female players were sacrificed, they could pass the game 100%.
After waiting for a long time without receiving any response from Wen Shi, Song Yan called him "Boss" again.
Wen Shi said carefully, "I think the key to the rules of the game is not gender, but we have to consider the gender issue in the team now."
Song Yan was confused.
The next second, Wen Shi coughed twice and asked the boss, "Um... may I ask if you distinguish between men and women here based on physical structure or psychological structure? Or, in other words, based on chromosomes?"
The boss looked at him as if he were mentally retarded.
The quality of tourists is getting worse and worse, and the delay is not this long.
However, it was this sentence, like a bolt of thunder from the blue, that reminded everyone of a problem that was almost ignored.
Some of them, no, quite a few of them were, flattened!
If we insist on classifying them according to physiological structure, we will have to create another category.
At this thought, everyone's expressions became complicated, some bluish, some purple, and some even moved their lips, swallowing back the words that were on the tip of their tongues. This was the scene the boss loved to see, the ugly side of humanity exposed in its struggle to survive.
In the strange and twisted atmosphere, the tour guide who had been silent since she came in walked up to the boss and spoke a few words quickly.
The expression of watching a show disappeared, and the boss's face began to become exciting.
No one spoke, and for a moment in the huge mirror room, one could hear a pin drop.
Are these people not deceiving themselves?
The boss looked suspiciously at the lower body of the person nearby. He found that something was wrong and was about to look away when he met the person's sad and angry eyes. The boss turned his head away awkwardly. Wasn't he just trying to confirm it?
The boss is in a dilemma. What should he do?
NPCs are quite stubborn in many ways. They can't tamper with the rules at will, and their consciousness is confined to a certain framework. Occasionally, they break the rules, either going crazy or becoming stronger or dying on the spot. The Count is the best example.
After a long while, the boss finally managed to utter, "If there's only one person..."
The tour guide interrupted, "Five or six."
"..." Another ten minutes passed, and the boss looked at the tour guide with a reproachful look: "Why didn't you pick him up in time after the incident?"
The quiet Fu Zhixu raised his eyelids when he heard this: "I made a related suggestion, but the conductor rejected it."
"That's right!" Memories flooded into one player's mind, and he was overwhelmed with grief. He even lost face and almost begged the ticket seller to come up and help.
For a moment, many people looked at the tour guide with reproachful eyes. Since they were all part of the same black-hearted industry chain, they should have expected this kind of thing to happen.
The tour guide who silently took the blame had no way to explain herself.
The scene in the Screaming House that night was too shocking, and something happened at the museum the next day. She had no time to think about these things.
Anger surged from the bottom of her heart again. The tour guide looked at the culprit of all this and gritted her teeth. Why could every bad thing be related to this person?
Resisting the urge to sneeze, Wen Shi rubbed his nose. It seemed that the cold was not completely healed yet. He had to continue taking the medicine when he got home today.
"Let's go by chromosomes! If he was a male before, he still is now." The boss thought about it and finally made the decision.
Several angry eyes turned to the boss. What do you mean by "before"? Are you polite?
No one was too surprised by this result. Rather than saying that the boss had figured it out, it was more like the will of the game. They couldn't just come up with a third gender on the spur of the moment.
At the same time, the system's prompt sounded -
[Side Quest: Man in the Mirror
Tip: There is no fraud in the Absolute Safe House. All qualified players will be safe after entering.
Tip: There is no fraud in the Danger House, and everyone who enters is in danger.
The game emphasizes these two points, proving that what the boss said is true.
Having solved a big problem, the boss wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "If you have thought it through, you can go in. Only one group can enter each room at a time. After one group leaves, another group can enter."
At Shadow's place, a group was assembled almost instantly. Li Nan brought in six players, and their shadows directly abandoned Shadow Flower and chose to enter the Absolute Safe House.
After that, no one joined in and wanted to see what was going on through them.
Under everyone's gaze, the six people entered the absolutely safe house and the outer door closed automatically.
Shadow Flower came over to find the original body: "Let's go together later."
"Haha, I have someone to take care of me." Xiaohua mocked mercilessly.
The shadow will inherit some of the evil memories and take root, but will be less affected emotionally. The shadow Yu Xingzhou will not care about the life and death of his teammates, but the real Yu Xingzhou will not.
After the mirror door closed, the people outside were more nervous than those inside.
However, before he could hold his breath for ten seconds, the door opened again and everyone inside came out, without a single one missing.
"Nothing." Knowing what they were going to ask, someone answered directly.
Suddenly, many people started to form teams.
Song Yan subconsciously looked at Wen Shi, but the latter was talking to Yu Xingzhou, so he didn't dare to interrupt.
Yu Xingzhou: "Very surprised?"
Wen Shi nodded.
He thought something was going to happen, not that he wished bad things on others, he just felt that there was something wrong with this safe house.
Just then, the burned player passed by and pulled Song Yan: "We are still short of one person, let's go in together."
Song Yan frowned and was about to refuse when the burned player cruelly stated the reality: "Pei Wenwei loves to meddle in other people's business. He will definitely bring the female player with him. If you go with him, you will only hinder him and might even harm him."
Song Yan could barely be considered a disciple taught by Wen Shi. The burned player wanted to drag him along in order to make Wen Shi feel upset. Of course, what he said was also true.
Among the people the burned player is looking for, there is also Shadow. To enter the absolute safe house, there must be more than four people. It is impossible for Shadow to kill people in it. Currently, the two sides are in a cooperative state.
As a newcomer, Song Yan had no props and no points. Without dragging others down, this was indeed the best option. After hesitating for a moment, Song Yan decided to follow them in.
Elsewhere, Wen Shi was conversing with Yu Xingzhou while considering the groupings for later. Xiaohua and another female player were the only remaining players; the rest were all with Shadow. The relatively small number of female players this time indicated that the game's approach to assigning players to dungeons wasn't random at all; it took into account every possible scenario.
"It's a pity that it's still not smart enough." Several bugs in the early stages almost killed people.
Wen Shi sighed inwardly, then raised his eyes and saw three fat bug players who were ignored in the corner, huddled together pitifully, with no one considering taking them with them.
"The Man in the Mirror."
He suddenly repeated the name of the experience project. To enter the absolutely safe house, one must meet the following conditions: more than four people; male.
The boss kept using the word "number of people" from beginning to end. Wen Shi's breathing tightened: What if one of the tourists entering is not a human?
"Shadow for sure."
Shadows are like clones of players to a certain extent. They can participate in games together, have their organs removed as living people, and their identity as "humans" is recognized.
Wen Shi's face looked a little ugly. If the game was a trap in this regard, wouldn't it mean that there was an NPC mixed in with the team from the very beginning?
He took a step forward and was about to stop the people from entering the safe house, but was held down by Yu Xingzhou.
"Respect the fate of others." Yu Xingzhou emphasized word by word.
If there really is a monster in the team, this will be the perfect opportunity to test it.
The five people who are about to enter are not quite right. There is the burned player who lost his mind but still survived until now; the crew cut who stepped on others to get to the top, but was willing to help the player turn into a bug before the parkour game started. At that time, the crew cut asked the fat bug to scare the people in the tank by "standing up", which in a sense was considered a success in his later prophecy; as for the two shadows, it is easier for monsters to disguise themselves as shadows than as players.
The most suspicious one is the newcomer... Yu Xingzhou narrowed his eyes. Song Yan's learning ability is too fast. He is like a blank sheet of paper. He grows easily according to the trajectory drawn by Pei Wenwei.
When Song Yan went out this morning, his steps were a little unnatural, and he finally made sure to step over the threshold with his left foot.
Walking in front of him was Pei Wenwei, which made Yu Xingzhou suspect that the other party was deliberately imitating Pei Wenwei's every move.
Wen Shi pulled his arm out and shook his head: "Don't experiment with human lives and humanity."
It doesn't matter whether the burned player dies or not, but among these five people, there must be someone who should not bear the consequences of trial and error.
As he walked forward, Yu Xingzhou was still thinking about what had happened before.
"Newcomer..." Even if the unique copy wants to use the lives of newcomers as a buffer to reduce the difficulty, the effect is actually not that great.
Thinking of this, Yu Xingzhou's expression changed slightly. He quickly walked to his own shadow and used an anti-eavesdropping shielding prop: "Did you fabricate that clue about the contrast on the train?"
After he came back, he heard Xiaohua talk about the process of Shadow being exposed, which was purely a case of his own cleverness backfiring.
Shadow inherited the original owner's thinking and knew why he asked this question. This time, he unexpectedly did not hide it: "No."
He had been trying to fabricate clues and was even about to occupy the cab, but gave up because of the red warning of "No Entry." But he realized the sign was pasted on, with one corner slightly raised. Shadow tore it off, as if possessed by a ghost. Behind it was a note that read "Contrasting Cuteness."
Shadow had always assumed the clue pointed to him; there was indeed a contrast in him, otherwise he wouldn't be wearing a mask. But the other players didn't know that, and since this clue could be a reference to the newcomer, Shadow sent it out.
Not long after that, he was besieged by Li Nan and Xiao Hua. Later, he was arrested, and Pei Wenwei caused all kinds of situations. Like the tour guide, he did not think carefully about some things that were obvious.
For example, the tip said that the clue to the shadow was in the tourist's travel belongings, but his was behind the slogan.
Yu Xingzhou frowned. There was no need for the monster to pretend to be a newcomer. Newcomers were often the first to die, which was not conducive to long-term disguise.
His attention had been on the key before, but now he recalled everything that happened after coming to Sunset Town, including the strange sunset, all connected together, and he had the same speculation as Qian Lai: a real spirit.
The moment he had this realization, Yu Xingzhou felt the temperature around him drop instantly, as if something cold was staring at him.
Yu Xingzhou did not immediately consider the disadvantages of discovering the true spirit, but thought of another problem.
He knew much more about the True Spirit than Qian Lai did, and he had also downloaded a copy where the True Spirit was located.
True Spirits love sending avatars into dungeons, sometimes with more than one avatar. These avatars are generally weak initially. Because in the game, being weak is bound to be bullied. The fear an avatar feels, the pain of being abandoned... these are all nutrients that True Spirits love to absorb.
The ending of all avatars is death without exception, and their death triggers a series of plots. Sometimes they become evil spirits, and sometimes they possess other players... In short, the death of the avatar is a hub, which often indicates that the copy has officially begun or is about to end.
The main storyline of this copy has not been activated yet, so it obviously belongs to the former.
If Wen Shi heard his analysis, he would definitely think of Jian Qingrong immediately. There were too many inconsistencies in the other person, especially the fact that he had to personally lead to someone's death in the end, and the copy was just coming to an end at that time.
Yu Xingzhou thought of a strange question: what if the incarnation never dies?
He looked ahead. Wen Shi had already pulled Song Yan out of the team. He certainly wouldn't directly point out the pitfalls of "Man in the Mirror." Wen Shi didn't sympathize with any of the players who were leveled.
Then he gave the guy with the buzz cut a warning look and told him bluntly that he didn't like burning players, and that if he went in with the guy with the buzz cut, he would do so at his own risk.
Finally, Wen Shi waved to the three insect men by the wall and said, "I'll take you in later."
The insect people were filled with gratitude.
Song Yan did not question why the other party prevented him from entering the absolutely safe house. He felt a very strange and uncomfortable feeling in his heart, but he couldn't explain it.
"I don't have any props or points, all I can do if I go in is..."
"It's okay, I'm here." Wen Shi was not without doubts about Song Yan. It was precisely because of this that he had to keep him by his side so that he wouldn't harm others. "From now on, except for single-player games, you will always follow me."
Then he looked at the insect people and said, "You have survived until now, so you must not give up hope of living."
The three insect men nodded heavily.
In the back, Yu Xingzhou and Yingzi stood side by side. Yingzi was speechless: "Sometimes he really should learn to respect the fate of others."
Yu Xingzhou had already said this to Wen Shi, but unfortunately it was useless.
Shadow took a deep breath and considered the same question as the original body: "If, I mean if, I never die..."
After the game prompt sounds and the mirror house is passed, the main task will be activated, but under the caring care of Pei Wenwei, the newcomer has always been there. Can this main task still be started?
Wen Shi was already preparing to enter the dangerous room. He asked the female players in the team to consider whether they wanted to join their group. Then he gave Song Yan and the others a final pep talk, "What's our slogan?"
"Alive!" everyone said in unison.
