A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Fang Shiqing showed this content to his teammates.

This text is dense and long, but after excluding the recorder's own thoughts and mental torture, the useful information is limited. It is nothing more than "Murderers cannot be trusted" Shortcuts", "there is a way to get out of the top floor", that's all.

Gu Jinhong flipped through the paper, and rarely showed a look that was deeper than sympathy: "It seems that this person should have a certain degree of depression symptoms, so that he lost interest in life, refused to take medicine, and finally became That's it."

"Depression" is not a new term in contemporary times, but not many people really understand this concept.Fang Shiqing didn't know much about it, but I heard that although the external manifestations of this disease are mainly emotional problems, they are essentially affected by hormone secretion and are also physiological problems. Generally speaking, drugs are needed to help regulate them.

I don't know if Gu Jinhong has any relevant experience in reality, but he is particularly touched by this matter.After a moment of silence, he clicked on the words "Do you want to live?" and said softly, "Anyway, as a healthy person, I really want to live a good life forever."

"Why did you say this suddenly?" The Second Monk He Xiangwuzhang was puzzled, "Don't think too much about it, just like Brother Fang often said, it is a background story written by the game system, there is no need to compare it with it. Normal people would not want to How about living well?"

Fang Shiqing lowered his eyes and did not participate in these conversations, but picked up the few architectural drawings again and examined them carefully.

If you look at it with peace of mind, in fact, this drawing is not completely incomprehensible.

Of course, his professional stuff is by no means something a layman like him can read, but the guy in the water has carefully ticked off all the important things, and wrote a bunch of notes beside it, although the words are still small It's crowded, but the content is very clear.

The direct secret passage mentioned in the text has an entrance on the second floor, the mezzanine of the third floor, and the fifth floor, and the locations are marked with red pens.

——This person wants to die with all his heart, but at the same time, he also sincerely hopes to help others survive.

This made him feel a little pain in his heart, and he quickly shook his head vigorously to get rid of the thought at this moment: This is just a fabricated background story in the game, not a real person or thing that existed.If you are too real about it, isn't that tantamount to losing the game?

Having said that...

He gradually realized that it was getting more and more difficult to treat this "game" as a "game".The experiences of the BOSS in the dungeon and the victims who only live in the background become very clear, very real, and very resonant.

Don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

*

Now that I have missed the previous entrance, several people discussed it and decided that we can only continue to the fifth floor.

According to what He Xiangwu said, Xiao Fengdi may have followed the npc to move on, and now he doesn't know if it is on the mezzanine between the fourth and fifth floors, or somewhere higher.

The stairwell is as long as the first two floors, but there are fluorescent tubes overhead to provide the most basic lighting.

When climbing the stairs, the three of them tensed their nerves to the extreme, afraid that the psychotic murderer would suddenly run out from somewhere, or the ground under their feet would suddenly explode, blowing them all over the sky again.

Fortunately, this kind of thing did not happen. After reaching the top of the stairs, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

In this situation, Fang Shiqing took the lead and entered the fifth floor as a matter of course.

In reality, if you want to ambush a person indoors, the most efficient way is of course to launch an attack at the moment when he pushes the door open and is most relaxed. Lack of awareness.This is also the reason why Xiao Fengdi always takes the lead when he is in the team. In his opinion, the front is undoubtedly the most dangerous.

But because of this, the situation of "opening the door to kill" usually does not appear in the dungeon-this is a bit too anti-human for players.

Fang Shiqing thought he understood the game's routines, so every time he entered a new level, his sense of crisis was always the loosest, and he was more curious about the new environment.

Therefore, at the moment when he entered the fifth floor, he was completely dazed——

All the way from the bottom to the top, the floors are brighter and brighter than the first floor, and the fourth floor is simply brightly lit, even the stairwell has light tubes.Therefore, the players put away their flashlights a long time ago, and gradually let go of their guard against the darkness.

Who knew that when they reached the fifth floor, they were plunged into darkness again, without even the slightest glimmer of light.

It's uncomfortable to go from a bright environment to absolute darkness all at once.

Fang Shiqing's flashlight had been hanging by his waist all the time, and he was about to turn it on instinctively at this moment, but before he could make a move, there was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing the air.

The sound was so fast that there was no time to dodge.He only had time to let out an ah, and subconsciously shrank back a bit, without realizing what it was at all.

There was a crisp "ding", but the thing was knocked down very close to him.

Then a flashlight lit up not far away, and Fang Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw the other party.

"Boss, you—"

Xiao Fengdi waved his hand at him, rushed over in two or three steps, and picked up a dagger from the ground: it was the one they had bought together before.

There was also a small knife without a handle lying on the ground. It seemed that it was this thing that attacked him in the dark just now.

It seemed that Xiao Fengdi threw the knife over and barely knocked it flying.

Everything was just in the blink of an eye, and the other people behind didn't know the situation here, so they still stepped in.He Xiangwu bumped his head against Fang Shiqing's back, Fang Shiqing's small body couldn't withstand his head, and the two fell to the ground screaming.

"Oh, it hurts like hell...Brother Fang, why are you blocking the door—what are you doing?"

"Shh, shh, shh!" Fang Shiqing frantically signaled the other party to be quiet, he looked nervously at Xiao Fengdi who was on guard, and then turned his head to look into the darkness where the knife had just been thrown out.Someone here—or a monster attacking him, who?The murderer?

"Ah? Brother Xiao, what's the matter? Is there anything over there?" He Xiangwu followed his gaze to look at Xiao Fengdi, and then subconsciously yelled.

"..." Fang Shiqing wished he could sew this guy's mouth shut.

At this moment, Gu Jinhong also followed. Fortunately, this person was more cautious. He knew something was wrong when he saw the situation, so he immediately squatted down by the door, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xiao Fengdi turned off the light all at once.

The surrounding fell into a silence.Without the interference of extra human voices, the subtle sounds hidden in the darkness became very clear. Fang Shiqing could distinguish the sound of metal friction and the sound of bumping against the ground—this is the characteristic of those "armored robots", and... …the sound of water dripping, and a very unpleasant muffled sound.

After a trivial tone, an extremely loud shouting and cursing suddenly sounded like a thunderbolt, which shocked several people.

The voice was somewhat familiar, and it turned out to be the former worker surnamed Liu—the murderer.He shouted at the top of his lungs, not in Mandarin, but in a dialect that was difficult to understand. Although he couldn't understand what the content was, he could guess it just by the tone of voice. It must be very unpleasant.

So, what happened to that guy?Totally insane? !Fang Shiqing was a little panicked, and couldn't help shrinking back.Humans instinctively fear and recoil in the face of such utter outpouring of anger and madness.

However, at this time, the flashlight not far away turned on again.

Xiao Fengdi put away his defensive posture, lowered his arms, and said to them: "Okay, it seems that there is nothing wrong. The attack just now should be his last counterattack. Now he has done everything except shout out It's gone."

"……what?"

His voice was interspersed with the furious cursing from the darkness, making it unclear.

Fang Shiqing stared at the other party in a daze, not understanding what he was saying at all.

Xiao Fengdi retracted the dagger, freed his hand to grab Fang Shiqing's arm, and pulled him up.

"Are you all right?" he asked.

"No, no, of course I'm fine, you..."

Fang Shiqing was anxious to look at the other party's situation.

There were several rips on his sleeve, and he didn't know whether it was scratched or cut by a knife, but he didn't see any blood, so he shouldn't be injured.

The insults from the darkness continued, but the voice gradually became quieter, and the momentum became weaker and weaker, as if it had exhausted its strength.

"Brother Xiao..." He Xiangwu murmured, "Well... the one who is making... that sound now is the npc from before, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Fengdi nodded.

"What happened to you and him? Got into a fight?"

"——what is 'what happened'?" Xiao Fengdi frowned, "What else could happen, he wanted to kill me, but he failed."

"Why did he kill you?" Gu Jinhong asked suddenly.

"Probably because the conversation broke down." He glanced at the other party and replied lightly.

"Uh……"

So what's going on in the specific situation, what's wrong with the NPC now, why did it become like this? !

Fang Shiqing wanted to continue asking, but he didn't know where to start.

The cursing sound in the dark finally disappeared completely, and instead, the unpleasant dull sound continued and even became more obvious.

After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Fengdi asked, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

If no one speaks, it means acquiescing.

A group of people began to move into the darkness.

The fifth floor is very clean and very empty.Except for Xiao Fengdi, several people turned on their flashlights and kept looking around, but they didn't see anything except the familiar elevator shaft in the middle of the hall.

The further you go, the more obvious the dull and viscous sound becomes.Fang Shiqing slowly remembered what the sound was like—it sounded like the gurgling sound of stuffing meat when making dumplings for the Chinese New Year when he was a child.

They walked towards the place where the sound came from, passed through most of the hall, and reached a place less than ten meters away from the wall on the other side.

From this position, you can already use the flashlight to see everything on the opposite side.

"—"

At that moment, not only Fang Shiqing and He Xiangwu, but even the silent Gu Jinhong held their breath.

Three or four "armor-type robots" were surrounding the wall, holding up the rapier in their hands, repeatedly stabbing something nailed to the wall at a fast and uniform frequency, making a strange sound like stirring meat .

No, that "thing" probably wasn't nailed to be precise, it was just pushed against the wall and couldn't slide down because of the actions of the armors.

——It was a mass of flesh-colored and blood-red things, roughly in the shape of a human.As for a more specific description, several people couldn't tell, because Xiao Fengdi's flashlight only stopped at a lower position and did not move up, and the others didn't have the courage to turn the light around.

From time to time, viscous liquid dripped down from it—this was the "sound of water drops" in the darkness just now.

"..." He Xiangwu tugged at the corner of Fang Shiqing's clothes, and said weakly, "Brother Fang, I want to vomit."

"This is your illusion. We don't have the physiological function of 'nausea' in the game."

Fang Shiqing replied, but he understood what He Xiangwu meant.Even if there is no physical reaction, the scene in front of him is enough to make a normal person feel sick psychologically.

He grabbed Xiao Fengdi's arm, pointed to the wall in front, and asked in a low voice: "Boss, is it... the npc from before?"
