  Chapter 1613 Another missing person

Seeing that Xu Huo seems to be particularly interested in the fungi in District 013, the people in Brown Leather City have said a lot about fungi, which is different from the descriptions in books that focus on growth characteristics. They will describe in detail the state of being parasitized by fungi , such as what kind of symptoms will be produced, what does it feel like to feel pain, or some fungi just offset the side effects of a certain fungus in the body after being parasitized.

They seem to be accustomed to suffering, and they will deliberately pick out some interesting fungi to entertain the players who are listening, such as inhaling the spores of a certain choking fungus, sneezing from morning to night for ten days and a half months, It takes time to drink saliva, and another example is some fungi that can make people twitch regularly or hear certain sounds.

"The kid from the Li family on our street just ate the convulsion fungus, and he was determined to lie down when he got excited. He could barely hold back after several illnesses, but when he got married, he directly wiped his whole body in front of the bride's family. I wiped the floor of the house, and I can't even press it..."

  The people in District 013 said something very interesting, and they laughed while talking.

   "Then what happened next?" Tong Qi asked with interest.

   "His child was so happy on the day he was born, he passed out and didn't wake up again." The brown leather city man who told the "joke" said: "Not long after, the child followed his father. The mother couldn't accept it, and died of hunger strike."

"Hunger strike in Area 013 is a relatively peaceful way to die." Chi Xian suddenly said: "There is a kind of fungus with anesthetic effect that will release venom after the host stops eating for more than ten hours. Eat something to wake up, wait until the host passes out of coma, there is no way to wake up the person directly, if left unchecked, the person will be eaten up by other fungi in a very short time."

   "However, there was not much pain in the process. What is painful is the choice to end one's own life."

   "Is that similar to our state?" Liao Xiaorong asked.

   "After entering Area 013, players will be infected with fungi to some extent, and poisoning is normal, but after waking up after anesthesia, there will be sequelae of weakness in limbs, dizziness and brain swelling, which is different." Chi Xian replied.

Having said that, neither the listeners nor the speakers can go on. The people in Brownskin City are not numb enough to give up life and death completely, and the players who are used to killing are not so cold-blooded that they have no fluctuations in the tragedy. You can't change the reality, you can only choose to avoid it.

In this dungeon, Vigil is more prone to drowsiness than usual. Tong Qi was about to say something to brighten the atmosphere, when Xu Huo pushed him away suddenly, and stood in front of a supporting pillar ten meters away. He stretched out his hand as if trying to grab something. But it came to nothing.

  Tong Qi, Chi Xian and others all followed, looking at a small stool left on the ground, their complexions changed slightly.

  Liao Xiaorong took the surveillance device in the corner and dialed back the content a minute ago.

It was normal at first, but just ten seconds ago, the screen suddenly flickered a few times and then fell into a brief darkness. When it turned on again, Zhao Qing, who was sitting on the pillar, disappeared—she was in front of everyone. Except for Xu Huo and Chi Xian who just happened to see it, the others didn't even notice that such a person was missing.

  After watching the video, everyone fell silent.

  A moment later, Liao Xiaorong asked: "There are so many people here, why did only Zhao Qing disappear? Is it random?"

   "It's over, it's over, I don't dare to sleep anymore." Another player said: "If I fell asleep and was sucked into another space, wouldn't it be a dead end?"

   "Zhao Qing should be asleep." Xu Huo said at this time: "So far, who has seen someone disappear while awake?"

   Anyway, Tong Qi and the others did not.

   "The things that happened in the dungeon should not be as simple as random, not to mention that this is a spiritual dungeon." Chi Xian stroked his chin and said, "Maybe there is something special about the missing person."

   "What's so special?" Tong Qi pondered for a while, "For Zhao Qing alone, I think her mental state is a bit problematic."

   Fighting against drowsiness and being tense to guard against other players. In fact, many players present today are not in the best condition.

   "Is it related to mental strength?" Scar glasses looked at Xu Huo.

   "It's hard to be sure," Xu Huodao said, "As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no uniform standard."

The normal situation should be that people with weaker mental strength are more likely to be affected, but both he and Zhao Qing, who fell asleep for the first time, dreamed in a very short sleep time, while others such as Scar Eye went to sleep for the first time but did not dream , Liao Xiaorong fell asleep for the second time, and she also had a dream.

  There may be two factors, one is mental strength, and the other is sleep time.

   Without a large enough sample, it is difficult to determine whether the disappearance is directly related to these two factors.

   "Could it be that only those who are asleep are sucked into other spaces?" Tong Qi guessed: "Or it will only happen at night. Anyway, I haven't heard of anyone who suddenly disappeared in broad daylight."

  Besides being able to use props and instruments to detect a little trace of space fluctuation left behind, there are no other valuable clues.

   "What kind of dungeon is this?" Tong Qi muttered: "There are no hints in the background, it's okay to tell a false story in an ambiguous way, and it's the same in the dungeon. There is no hint who knows what to do."

"Isn't the reminder already obvious?" Liao Xiaorong said: "The meaning of the game background is to let you find the answer in your sleep. Anyway, the limit is stretched. When the dungeon is about to end, you will either die or find 'Midsummer Night Xinghe' to clear the level. There are no other roads."

  Tong Qi rolled his eyes and remained silent.

  After the discussion was fruitless, everyone went back to rest. Regardless of whether Zhao Qing died or passed the level, everyone agreed that she would not come back.

  Xu Huo sat down again in the seat just now, but he was thinking about another thing.

Among all his props, only the "Gate of Idealism" can clearly open overlapping spaces. Although the introduction of the props points to the spiritual world, the space that can be opened must exist in substance, and the space that can be constructed in the spiritual world is also Same, mandatory and objective.

  The next time someone goes missing, maybe you can use "The Gate of Spirituality" to try.

  However, this also has a high risk, because it is not necessarily possible to get out. If this overlapping space has nothing to do with customs clearance, it is only used to remove players, and it is very dangerous to enter.

   "Someone is coming." Chi Xian suddenly reminded in a low voice.

  Xu Huo turned his head and saw two heavily injured players jumping off the opposite building while supporting each other. They were rushing towards the clock tower, and the following players could be seen faintly behind them.

   It was just that the three people who followed stopped when they saw that the injured two had walked within 100 meters of the clock tower, and did not force forward.
