Infinite Mask Game

Zixu's first elimination made the travelers feel uneasy.

Wei Miao held the sickle in her hand and quietly watched the crow feathers on the ground evaporate into black smoke.

She recalled the hunting moment just now, the silent killing, and the despair and fear.

The travelers came with a bit of a game mentality. If ordinary people were really pulled into this place, they would probably collapse after a short time.

Zixu's death was not unjust. Wei Miao could infer his mental journey based on his performance.

When Zixu sensed her, he didn't know whether it was a coincidence or intentional, so he didn't move.

But she stayed nearby for a long time, and Zixu could certainly find something wrong. If he was quite decisive, the right thing to do was to run away, and there was still a glimmer of hope.

Unfortunately, he was obsessed with his stealth skills, and was psychologically bound by them. He was unwilling to easily give up his advantage and fight the soul hunter head-on.

When Wei Miao passed by his hiding place, Zixu clearly saw her, but he was lucky and thought that the soul hunter had not discovered him.

In fact, he was also in a dilemma at that time. The soul hunter was too close to him. As long as he moved, he would be chased and killed immediately.

When Wei Miao found Zixu, he did not look away. The vision of the soul hunter is wider than that of normal humans.

Sniffing the prey is only the first step, and killing the prey is the key.

At that time, Zixu was leaning against the opposite corner.

If she climbed through the window into the house, Lixu would still be a few meters away.

He could react immediately and get up and climb out of the window behind him.

Climbing through the window is like running. There are mandatory regulations. As long as you make the action of climbing through the window, there will be an action similar to the system taking over. Whatever speed is what speed, it is impossible to break the set upper limit, but there will be a certain degree of fluctuation according to the actual posture and action.

The speed of running through the window is different from that of climbing through the window in place. The former is faster than the latter.

The traveler's window-climbing speed is faster than the soul hunter's. Wei Miao is not sure about the traveler's window-climbing speed, and the soul hunter's window-climbing speed is limited to about 1.5 seconds.

With the speed difference between the two, Zixu may be able to leave the house when she enters the house and increase the distance again. This is not what Wei Miao expected.

It was because of Zixu's indecision during the patrol that Wei Miao dared to pretend to be ignorant and deceive him, circled back from the other side, and directly climbed in through the window that should have been his retreat.

Even if Zixu reacted quickly and ran to the opposite window, the action was almost completed when the window-climbing action was discovered, and it would take time for him to run and climb the window, so the probability of a successful escape was greatly reduced.

Facts have proved that the figure of the soul hunter flashing in the opposite window gave Zixu great psychological pressure, firmly attracted his attention, and made him unable to react in time when Wei Miao climbed in through the window, and was directly blocked in the corner.

This successful hunt consumed almost no resources, and both the crow feather blade and the flying demon were available.

What Wei Miao needs to consider next is the same as the traveler.

"There are three travelers in the southeast city, two of whom have already met, but they will definitely react to the elimination of the detective."

"Knowing the detective's skills, they may guess that I used the overall perception and leave the area."

"But I was going to the candy machine anyway, and the route overlaps, so there is no harm in taking a trip to explore the location. Maybe I can really catch him?"

When the broken black smoke completely dissipated, the dark figure ran again.

In the southeast city, Bluebird was trying to persuade the wanderer.

Because all sounds were swallowed up in the soul-soothing field, the travelers could not communicate normally.

So the two could only express their feelings with gestures and lip movements, using the native language of the dungeon. Even with the system's proficiency bonus, their grasp of the language was still awkward. Most of the time, they were confused by each other's lip movements, and they stumbled and danced when communicating.

"We must leave here, the soul hunter will soon find us."

The wanderer pondered.

"You mean overall perception? But where should we go?"

This question stumped Bluebird. This is exactly what she was struggling with.

The location information obtained by [Detect Evil] before was of little reference value after a period of time.

She couldn't be sure where the Soul Hunter was at the moment, or how far away they were.

But the Soul Hunter knew their location.

Before [Detect Evil] cooled down, the Traveler was temporarily at a disadvantage.

Waiting for death was definitely not Bluebird's style.

Bluebird: "It's better to go anywhere than to stay where you are. If you go two blocks to the next, the probability of colliding with the Soul Hunter is only 50%, but if you stay here, the probability of colliding is 100%."

Wanderer: "Then I opened so many doors, all in vain?"

Bluebird: "You can move the battlefield."

Wanderer said seriously: "But if I am discovered, I have a geographical advantage here, and I can't escape anywhere else."

Bluebird: "It seems... a little reasonable?"

She actually thought there was nothing wrong with the Wanderer's logic.

Bluebird asked him one last time: "So you really don't want to give up this place?"

The wanderer hesitated, but Bluebird didn't have the patience to continue to entangle him with this question.

She was determined to leave.

"Then I'll go first, be careful."

Before the wanderer could stop her, Bluebird had already run in one direction of the street.

That was the block where she was born. When she met the wanderer in the southeast area but not other travelers, Qingniao guessed that the birthplaces of the four people should be evenly distributed, corresponding to four blocks.

Compared with the other direction, she preferred to choose her birthplace.

When both ends are unknown, people tend to return the original way, hoping for a false sense of familiarity.

Qingniao did not realize that her attitude towards the soul hunter had changed subconsciously, from the eager confrontation when she first entered the dungeon to cautious avoidance.

The deterrence imposed by the soul hunter exceeded her expectations.

The wanderer stood there, watching Qingniao go away almost blankly.

He didn't know what to do next.

He looked back at his busy work for half an hour. The rows of buildings opened their doors to outsiders, and the gray walls were like silent tombstones.

He did not experience the expected sense of accomplishment. After learning about the upcoming threat, he was unwilling to give up the housing area he had worked for a long time, and was deeply terrified about the next pursuit.

This feeling of being on the verge of death was the most uncomfortable.

The Soul Hunter would definitely come, he was convinced of this.

The Wanderer suddenly realized: "It's like... I built a cage for myself with my own hands?"

He remembered what the casino cheater said when he met him: "The most important thing in the casino is to stay calm, withdraw in time, and don't be blinded by the good situation."

He couldn't give up the geographical advantage he had worked hard for, and was bound by the advantage, trapped in this area of ​​houses, and still stayed here.

The Wanderer knew that he didn't have the decisiveness of the Blue Bird, and was about to bite his teeth and change his mind, but the sudden perception gave him a shudder.

"The Soul Hunter is here!"
