A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Xiao Fengdi briefly talked about his own experience.

The moment Fang Shiqing took off his coat and rushed into the factory, the third dungeon was officially opened, and the other players were also teleported in.However, they—at least Xiao Fengdi himself—did not directly enter the dungeon scene, but were sent into an illusion.

He did not describe the specific details of the illusion, but only said that it is a beautiful virtual world that is so wonderful that people can completely forget the reality and indulge in it.In the illusion, he seems to have become the emperor of modern society, sitting on the wealth and beauties all over the world, which can be said to have reached the peak of a man's desire.

And after he broke the illusion, he recovered and found that he had already appeared in this room.

During the process of his narration, Fang Shiqing gradually calmed down a little.Hearing the other party's description of the illusion, he couldn't help asking: "Then how did you break the illusion, big brother? If others are also trapped in the same illusion, can they come out?"

"This artificially constructed illusion can be broken by relying on personal willpower as long as the person being manipulated realizes that it is an illusion." Xiao Fengdi said lightly, "Although the illusion is beautiful, it is not very clever. There is nothing in the illusion. Male creatures, only women, and all women have the same face—the face of the puppet. In this case, it is not obvious that it is an illusion and only a ghost."

"……what?"

Wait, what does it mean that everyone has one face? ?

"It means literally. Everyone in the illusion, including servants, subordinates, and the so-called harem beauties, all have her face." Xiao Fengdi glanced at the closed door, "Looking over, It's similar to the impression of the group outside the door now."

Fang Shiqing recalled the scene of being besieged by a large group of puppets just now, and suddenly felt a chill.Could it be that the boss of the dungeon only pinches that face, or doesn't he even change it?

"However, even so, it is not easy to break the illusion."

Xiao Fengdi paused and said, "It's not difficult to see through its essence, what's difficult is to use one's own will to overcome it. You must know that the illusion is very comfortable, and people are lazy, wanting to change the comfortable status quo It is very difficult. I think that, except for me, no one else has the ability to break the illusion on their own."

Fang Shiqing remembered that when she ran into the puppet in the morning, she had said that she had made a "deal" with Zhao Jun and put Zhao Jun in a "sweet and happy dream"—it seemed that she used this This illusion must have trapped Zhao Jun.

"——I see. So, it is likely that others are still trapped in the illusion, right? We need to find them, especially Zhao Jun."

Afterwards, Fang Shiqing also talked about what happened on his side, and organized his thinking while talking.

"All in all, there are a few things that can be confirmed now: first, she is the neighbor's sister who suddenly disappeared in the old story told by Carpenter Wang. Second, she may have had a very good male friend..."

He struggled for a long time, and really didn't know how to describe the relationship between her and that "ex-boyfriend".I don't know if they have been in a relationship, or if that person's death has something to do with her, and I don't know if it is because of that person that she became what she is now...

"Anyway, that person died later," he could only say at last, "I feel that as long as we figure out what happened between her and that person, we can find the key to clearing the dungeon. Is the puppet still guarding, we have to continue investigating nearby..."

As he spoke, he glanced at his watch. It was already past midnight, and there were only about twelve hours left for them to act.

Speaking of the outside, Xiao Fengdi seemed to think of something: "Did you see the painting on the floor of the factory outside?"

"Are you talking about the circular magic circle several meters..."

"No, I mean the scattered bloodstains around."

Fang Shiqing really didn't notice any bloodstains, but thinking about it carefully, apart from the three-meter circular formation in the middle, there seemed to be some strange symbols scattered far and near.

"Those symbols are deformed ancient Hebrew letters, which are used to indicate the direction," Xiao Fengdi said. If you walk in the indicated direction, you will get lost in the formation."

Fang Shiqing understood that under the influence of this so-called "array", the factory building outside became an endless random maze. If you go the wrong way, the scene will loop, and you can only move forward if you choose the right way.

"So that's what happened, no wonder I couldn't get to the end no matter how I walked at the beginning..."

He couldn't help praising, "Speaking of which, boss, do you still know ancient Hebrew?"

"No. There is a problem here," Xiao Fengdi shook his head, showing a subtle expression.He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Whether it's this kind of formation or the use of deformed Hebrew letters to guide the direction, they are all common methods used by contemporary spirit removers."

"--Hey?"

Fang Shiqing couldn't understand what he meant for a moment.

"Contemporary spirit eliminators often use similar techniques," Xiao Fengdi further explained, "When encountering large-scale incidents that require a long-term solution, we will set up this kind of formation in order to avoid involving ordinary people. Dangerous items are hidden at the core of the formation."

Fang Shiqing nodded. This is very understandable, just like the wizarding school in "Harry Potter" would use magic to prevent Muggles from entering by mistake.

"It is an unwritten rule within the organization to draw ancient Hebrew characters on the formation to indicate the direction. When there are multiple spirit removers working together, if there is no corresponding mark in the formation, it is easy to trap your own people He said, "Did you find out? Those symbols are drawn with fluorescent paint, which is also one of the habits of the spirit removers, because we often have to work at night."

"As for why Hebrew was chosen in the first place—I don't know, maybe because the leader of the organization at the time was religious. In short, this is a convention. I actually don't understand ancient Hebrew, but I am familiar with these codes."

"Wait," Fang Shiqing thought more and more, "so those words are your internal codes?"

"Well, so to speak."

——In that case, why do they... appear in the dungeon?

Fang Shiqing was speechless for a while, but some thoughts of deep thought and fear gradually emerged in his mind.

Xiao Fengdi lowered his eyes: "You should have thought of it, it's probably not a coincidence. The formation and those symbols are not from the boss of this dungeon, but from the hands of my peers. There are other spirit removers who once been here."

"But, this is wrong..." Fang Shiqing shook his head vigorously, "Does this conflict with the principle of game dungeon?"

In normal online games, when each team of players enters the maze, the system will make a copy of the maze to form a separate scene, which is the so-called "duplicate".In this scene, any actions of the team players will not have any impact on other people's "copy".

If two different teams play the book successively, they will enter two identical maps with the same content but independent of each other, without interfering with each other——

That is to say, even if there are other spirit removers who have entered the same copy, the traces they left will not appear in this book.

Only the game producer can modify the content of the copy. Fang Shiqing believes that if those symbols are really related to the spirit remover, it is most likely that the game system is built according to the memory of the spirit remover who unfortunately died in the game before.

This explanation will definitely make Xiao Fengdi uncomfortable, so he didn't say it for the time being, but said: "Let's continue to look for clues, maybe we will know what's going on if we look for it."

He acted as he said, first he searched the room thoroughly.

Although Xiao Fengdi had inspected it before, the inspection at that time was more focused on safety and did not pay special attention to possible clues.

Fang Shiqing only had one hand to use, and it was inconvenient to search for anything, so Xiao Fengdi came to help.The two roughly rummaged through the documents on the desk and bookshelf, and determined that this should be the factory director's office.

This factory manager was also the father of the doll girl when she was still alive.According to her, it should be her only blood relative.

However, after searching the entire office, the only thing she found that was somewhat related to her was a group photo of the employees under the glass panel.

In that group photo, she has short hair, wears overalls, and is smiling among twenty or so people.There is a faint melancholy between the eyebrows and eyes, but it is still a bright landscape.

Fang Shiqing pulled out the photo, looked at it carefully, then pointed to a man in the corner and said, "Look, this is her 'ex-boyfriend'."

Xiao Fengdi also took a few glances, and suddenly frowned: "I seem to have seen this person... somewhere."

Fang Shiqing didn't pay much attention.As I mentioned before, that man's face is three points similar to his. If you get used to his face and look at that photo again, you will easily have a certain sense of sight.

Xiao Fengdi kept looking at the photo, so he walked away temporarily and continued to search for other places.

In the corner of the office, there is a tightly closed safe.Just now they defaulted to finding it from a relatively easy-to-find place, so they ignored it for the time being.

But... speaking of it, finding the code to open the safe in a closed room is also a part of the puzzle game.

Fang Shiqing walked around the room twice, looking for all the things with numbers.

A set of numbers was seen on the inside of the ashtray on the coffee table, which looked like someone's birthday; the wall clock on the wall had stopped swinging, pointing steadily to an unchanging time; a date was marked with a red pen on the calendar ...

He tried each of these numbers on the safe, but none of them worked.Then I disassembled and combined them separately, but to no avail.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Fengdi put down the photo and noticed the situation on his side, "Opening the safe?"

"Well, I'm looking for a password. Boss, have you found any special numbers in this room?"

"No, I don't remember anything in particular."

Xiao Fengdi came to him, and casually switched the two sets of combination disks on the safe to try.Fang Shiqing found out that the number he dialed was "6666", and couldn't help being a little amused: I didn't expect that the boss would occasionally make such jokes.

Then--

The safe clicked and opened leisurely.

"..."

"...No."

Not to mention Fang Shiqing, even Xiao Fengdi himself was surprised.

Would a normal person set the password for storing valuables as such a simple and easy-to-decipher repeated number?If it’s okay to lock the screen of the mobile phone, is this a safe?The factory manager really has a big heart.

Of course, the surprise was the surprise, and the two immediately focused their attention on the safe.

Xiao Fengdi reached in and took out the contents: it was a wooden box more than one foot long, painted pure black without any decoration.

I don't know why, but this wooden box looks very uncomfortable, with an extraordinarily gloomy aura.Xiao Fengdi weighed the weight in his hand, and then his face became very ugly.

He put the box on the desk, stopped Fang Shiqing who was about to observe closely: "Stay away."

After Fang Shiqing retreated behind him, he carefully pulled off the lid of the box.

——Things hidden inside were exposed to the fluorescent light little by little.

Although the boss had given an early warning, Fang Shiqing had already prepared himself to some extent, and when he actually saw what was in the box, he still held his breath in shock:

It was a human head.

—It was the head of a girl.

It's the boss of the dungeon——the head of the puppet girl.
