A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

A rope is less than 20 meters, which is actually not long enough.Fortunately, before entering the first dungeon, he had prepared ropes for all the players, and Gu Jinhong, who has always been cautious, also brought things with him this time as a spare, and the length was almost the same.

The players upstairs hung down the rope, and the two girls below tied the rope to Zhao Jun, and the people upstairs pulled him up.Then the rope was lowered again for the two girls to tie around their waists as insurance in case something happened to them while climbing the scaffolding.

These things are easy to say, and they can be regarded as routine operations in adventure novels, but in reality, it is far from as simple as it is written in the novel.

None of the people present had any similar experience, including Xiao Fengdi, whose hands trembled badly when dragging people up, causing Zhao Jun to bump back and forth against the scaffolding and the wall several times—he still Whether he can wake up or not is very powerful in a sense.

I don't know if I have been cursed by some kind of sleeping.

But no matter how bumpy the process was, the entire group still got together, which is really gratifying

You can't move down from the scaffolding, but you can return to the interior of the seventh floor normally.

You Qingyu supported Zeng Xin and jumped into the window, and the two of them slumped back to back along the window root, gasping for breath, obviously too tired to move.

They were all stained with a lot of blood. Zeng Xin's left foot joint was swollen and distorted in an unnatural shape.

Fang Shiqing checked the information before and knew that "fracture" is not easy to happen in the game, but after it happened, he couldn't use medicine to treat it easily, so he couldn't help but feel a headache.

"What's wrong with you? How did you do it?"

It’s okay not to mention it, but when this was mentioned, Zeng Xin’s eye circles immediately turned red, and she wiped away her tears and said sobbingly: “Stop talking, I finally forgot how painful it is, once you mention it, I’ll miss it again. When I got up, it hurt so much that I wanted to amputate my leg.”

"...Let's just say goodbye, amputation hurts even more. So how did this happen?" Fang Shiqing couldn't help but get more and more headaches when she cried like this.

"Probably a broken bone, it was broken when I fell." In the end, You Qingyu answered.

She bent down and poked Zeng Xin's left ankle. Zeng Xin screamed immediately and frantically swung her away, "Ah, it hurts! Don't touch it!"

"..."

So, isn't it already broken when it just fell?She dragged her broken foot for such a long time, and climbed tens of meters of scaffolding in one breath?

However, she was still full of vigor just now, but now she is as coquettish as a water doll that shatters at the touch of a touch. This girl is also amazing.

But if it's really broken, you really can't move it casually.Fang Shiqing instinctively turned his gaze to Xiao Fengdi for help, the latter sighed, and still leaned down to press Zeng Xin's wound, which made Zeng Xin let out a groan again, not knowing whether it was embarrassment or pain of.

"No broken bones," he said, "dislocated."

The so-called "dislocation", that is, dislocation of bones and joints, is an experience that many people have experienced.This kind of problem is usually much easier to deal with than a fracture, and you don't even need to use a doctor. Many experienced elderly people can accurately restore it.

Zeng Xin immediately realized something, her face turned pale, and she shrank behind You Qingyu in horror: "No, no, don't touch me! No, I don't need brother Xiao to bother, I, I, I, I'd better go to the hospital after the dungeon is released— —Go to the hospital for an anesthesia injection..."

"..." Are you so afraid of pain? !

Xiao Fengdi didn't force it, he just let go and backed away: "That's fine, anyway, the dungeon will end soon."

Fang Shiqing suddenly remembered that this boss seemed to be reluctant to touch other people's bodies before—although he was in a hurry, and if he needed his help, he would definitely not refuse, but now the other party took the initiative to say no, he Clearly having a good time.

Because the physical contact between the two became a lot more after they got acquainted, he gradually forgot about it, but considering the difference between men and women, this problem will definitely become more serious when touching the opposite sex.

"..." You Qingyu couldn't say anything, "But then we have to deal with the boss, right? You...are you going to fight the boss in your current state?"

Hearing that Zeng Xin stopped talking with tears in her eyes, she seemed to be conflicted in her heart.

"Actually, it doesn't matter," Fang Shiqing scratched his head and said, "the boss of this dungeon shouldn't need to be 'fighted', right? Who can beat that kind of monster, it must rely on outsmarting or some other method. Let's go to the boss later. Go up to the rooftop to see the situation, if you can’t do it, let’s talk.”

He turned his head and saw Zhao Jun who was unconscious next to him, so he asked again: "What happened to you all, what happened to Zhao Jun?"

"..."

Having said that, the expressions of the two girls changed subtly at the same time.The two looked at each other, then one looked at the ground, the other looked out the window, neither of them spoke.

Fang Shiqing wanted to continue asking, but was stopped.

Gu Jinhong pressed his shoulder and interrupted: "These are not important, right? The important thing is that now that everyone is together again, we can have a good discussion about what to do next."

"...Huh? But Zhao Jun now—"

Fang Shiqing was stunned.

And "what to do next", does it need to be said?Of course, it is to climb to the top floor through scaffolding, so there is nothing to discuss.

Compared with that, isn't the situation of the unconscious teammates more worthy of attention?

He was a little confused.Gu Jinhong glanced at him silently. He felt that the other party's eyes showed a sense of caring for mentally handicapped children, and he was embarrassed to ask back. Did his thoughts go wrong?

"...Okay," Gu Jinhong nodded at him as if to make a comeback, "You have already explained the same content two or three times, and it should be annoying. Let me explain it to them this time, is it okay?"

"Ah... oh."

He was even more confused, and could only walk away with a bewildered expression on his face.

Gu Jinhong was talking to the two girls, while He Xiangwu was squatting in the corner on the other side, taking a pickaxe and tapping on the wall, as if he was digging again.Zhao Jun was still lying unconscious on the ground, but he could tell he was still panting.

Xiao Fengdi leaned against the window, not knowing what he was looking at.He felt that it was better to talk here, so he slipped over and asked in a low voice, "Boss, look at Zhao Jun, what the hell—"

"He's fine, you don't have to worry."

Xiao Fengdi waved at him, then suddenly picked up the rope thrown on the ground, and jumped out of the window again.

Fang Shiqing didn't know, so he poked his head out to look outside.The other party landed firmly on the scaffolding, folded the rope, threw it up casually, glanced at him, and sighed again.

"...No, no matter how you look at me, you look at me like a fool?" Fang Shiqing said dissatisfied.

"It seems that you really didn't notice it." Xiao Fengdi swept the dust on the plane and sat down on the spot. "Zhao Jun is very conscious now, he is just pretending to be unconscious."

"--What?!"

This frightened Fang Shiqing so much that he almost fell headlong.Fortunately, Xiao Fengdi helped him in time, pushed his head and pushed him back to his original position.

"Before pulling him up, when the rope swayed the most, his whole body was tense, and he obviously exerted force in the opposite direction. He even raised his hand to climb the scaffolding, but he couldn't bear it until he was halfway up. You didn't pay attention to this Are you there?"

--Absolutely not.Fang Shiqing really wanted to find a piece of tofu to bump himself to death. At that time, he also sighed that this person was still awake after being hit like this, he must not be in a deep coma, anyone who thinks it is just pretending? !

He couldn't help but want to shrink back and observe Zhao Jun, but the boss held his head in the palm of his hand again.He thumped twice, and then slowly calmed down.

Since the boss said he was faking it, it must be true, and there is no need to confirm it.

Moreover, thinking about it carefully, the boss even switched to another scene to tell him this, obviously because he didn't want others—especially the two girls—to find out the anomaly.The issue is:

"Pretending to... dizzy... But why is that? Why does he have to pretend in front of us!"

"How do I know, I have to ask myself," Xiao Fengdi said coldly, "Maybe it's something happened with them down there."

what happened?Anyway, Fang Shiqing couldn't imagine what could make someone lie down and pretend to be dead.Although I don't know when he started to pretend to be dizzy, but judging by his posture, he must have been dragged out by two girls for a long way. Doesn't he feel ashamed?ah? !

"About this matter, don't mention it again. We will talk about everything after we get out. Anyway, there are not a few steps left, and it is not difficult to take a 'comatose' person."

Fang Shiqing nodded, and swallowed back the suffocation.

After the previous feeling of madness subsided, the uneasiness in my heart swelled up again.He couldn't help thinking, what kind of experience made Zhao Jun have to do this?Zhao Jun sometimes does some weird things, but overall he is a shrewd person, so he won't suddenly go crazy. ...Will this matter really not affect their next dungeon strategy?

What will happen on the rooftop?The final boss—that "landlord", that unlucky newcomer architect, will it wait here?

If it could really run from the ground to the rooftop, then it probably... came up by an elevator.

There is no point in thinking too much, it is better to go directly to see the situation.

After resting for a while, seeing that Zhao Jun didn't intend to "wake up", others couldn't wait any longer.

In the end, it was decided that He Xiangwu and Gu Jinhong would get Zhao Jun up. As for the injured Zeng Xin, there was no need for others to worry. Even if she couldn't move one leg, she was still much more agile than others.

Of course Xiao Fengdi was the first to go up.Since the above situation is unknown, and under the premise of "can go up or not down", he may not be able to turn back and pass on information, so he finally simply took the rope up, and agreed to use a specific frequency to pull the rope to indicate safety.

The height of a few meters is nothing to him, he climbed up to the roof of the building easily, but after a while, no one else waited for any reply from him.

The anxiety in Fang Shiqing's heart grew wildly.He couldn't wait any longer, walked a few steps on the scaffolding, and finally climbed up unbearably.

Following him was You Qingyu, seeing her hesitating to speak, but finally did not stop her.

After overcoming the fear of heights, scaffolding is really not difficult to climb.He quickly reached the top, stepped up to the roof, and looked around.

The situation here is not as expected.

The seventh floor is so clean that there is nothing left, but the top floor is piled up in a mess.On the left hand side, there is a large pile of cement bags in a mess, and there are many mixing buckets, discarded steel pipes, wood, etc. around, making it look like a garbage dump.

Fortunately, he saw Xiao Fengdi at a glance, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

The other party stood upright more than ten meters away, with his back turned to this side, and a familiar elevator was not far in front of him.

The difference from the previous floors was that this time the elevator door was not wide open, but only opened a gap one person wide, but the inside was obviously empty, and there was no monster more than three meters tall inside.

"Boss? Boss?... Brother Xiao?" He yelled twice, and walked to the other side, "What are you looking at? Is there any problem? Why haven't you-uh."

He suddenly fell silent.

There is a piece of pink paper pasted on the elevator door, which looks like the notice from the neighborhood committee in the corridors of residential buildings.

There are several lines of writing on it.

The text is all handwritten, the handwriting is very regular, a little familiar, and it is exactly the same as the fine handwriting written with a beautiful pen in the handbook left by the architect.

The paper reads:

"I still need a sacrifice."

"I need a living sacrifice, a living and emotional sacrifice. Its blood and heart will be used to fill the last piece that this building lacks, and become a part of me and my building. When the time comes, This long obsession will also come to an end."

"As long as the sacrifice is delivered to me in the elevator, your suffering and mine will all come to an end. I wish you happiness and health in the future, my friend."

— offerings.

The meaning of this word is very clear, it is something that is offered to gods and ghosts during sacrifices.

I heard that the general construction site will also worship God before the start of construction. At that time, there will definitely be melon and fruit snacks, wine and meat incense candles, praying that everything will be smooth and safe during the groundbreaking process.But the message left by the BOSS here certainly doesn't mean asking them to sacrifice a whole pig or sheep.

The "sacrifice" here refers to...could it be... right?

……No way.

In the midday sun, he felt dizzy and could barely stand.

It shouldn't be him scaring himself; in this case, anyone would think in that direction.

The "owner" of this building is asking them for a "human sacrifice", a living person, as a toll.

This is simply the worst kind of situation.

It’s not that he hadn’t thought about this possibility before, but he still didn’t dare to think deeply about it. He just didn’t think it would be so unlucky, and the dungeon wouldn’t have such an anti-human clearance method—

However, now that the bloody reality is in front of us, it is really so anti-human, and there is no room for negotiation at all.

Xiao Fengdi grabbed his arm in time, turned around to look at him, his face was a little heavy, but his expression didn't change much.

"That..." As soon as he opened his mouth, he found that his throat was extremely hoarse, "Did you also see what was written on that piece of paper?"

Xiao Fengdi nodded: "I see, it's not a hallucination. But the specific meaning is not so obvious, and its correctness is debatable. Don't worry yet."

——That's not what the cold sweat on your forehead said, Fang Shiqing stared at him and said to himself.

The other party is acting very calm now, but judging from the way he didn't even know when he climbed up just now, he was probably so shocked that he lost his ability to respond the moment he saw the piece of paper.

However, after being pulled like this, he calmed down.

The boss is right, and even if the BOSS is asking them for human sacrifices, there may not be other solutions.

Speaking of ghost in the mirror dungeon, they also picked up a notebook that said "sacrificing female body to ghost in mirror will free you", didn't it turn out to be nonsense in the end?

He settled down: "I understand, that... big brother, in short, call everyone up first?"

Since the current situation is like this, it can't just be delayed like this.

Xiao Fengdi looked at him, made sure that he had really calmed down before letting go, and went back to the side of the roof to pull the rope.

Fang Shiqing looked at the piece of paper and the elevator in front of him more carefully, trying to find some other explanations.

As a result, the more he looked at it, the colder his heart became.

Judging from the location, this elevator is the one that runs through the whole building.The difference from before is that there is not only an elevator shaft here, but also an actual elevator box parked here.

No matter inside or outside the elevator, the double-opening metal doors only exposed a gap that only allowed one person to pass through.There was also no operating panel by the door. He walked a little closer, peeked through the crack of the door, and found that there were operation buttons inside, but there were only two buttons, "close the door" and "B2".

"B2" refers to the place where the boss stays, which looks like an underground parking lot. He couldn't help but slander, with the depth of that location, how could it be B2? B12 is about the same.

It seems that he had completely reversed his mind before.This elevator does allow people to meet the BOSS, but it is not used to send the BOSS up, but to take people down.

As for after going down—the BOSS is definitely not just asking people to have a friendly chat.What it wants are "sacrifices", "bone, blood and heart". That is to say, those who go down will probably have their hearts ripped out, their marrow sucked out of their bones, and they will die miserably.

He thought of the document he found in the water, what was written on it?

"If you are alone, then you are dead. ... If you are in a team, then, back to the original question. Do you want to live? How much do you want to live? What steps can you take to survive ?”

Now it seems that these words actually contain such a terrible deep meaning.Why is it impossible to survive when the reader is left alone? Is it because there is nothing to sacrifice?And in the case of a team of people, what does "what step can you do in order to survive" mean?What the hell is he implying?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel horrified, and felt that his heart was soaked in icy water that was far colder than that on the fourth floor.

The same goes for the murderer before, since he can freely come and go upstairs and downstairs, of course he has already seen the information posted here.Why does he insist on seeking cooperation from others?Did he want to... bring the "living sacrifice" here?

Also, Gu Jinhong once said before that this building seems to deliberately create a situation where the players are shunted and cause conflicts among the players.It... is for this moment, isn't it?

——Is it hoping that at this time, the players who have conflicts will send their teammates as sacrifices in order to survive?

It is very disturbing that all the details point to a single assertion without any deviation.The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was no way to face his teammates, so he simply left the elevator door and stood on the other side to blow the air.

Other players came up one after another.

You Qingyu was the first one, she noticed the thing on the elevator door almost at the first sight, and she was not surprised after seeing it, but her complexion became very bad.

"...It turns out to be true." She murmured in a low voice.

"Did you already know?" Fang Shiqing was surprised.

"Well," she smiled wryly, and came to Fang Shiqing's side, watching the people behind him climb up together, "I heard that the worker surnamed Liu said it."

"He's looking for you too?" This man is really a elusive man, and he actually searched for three groups of people.

"No," You Qingyu lowered his eyes, "We have nothing to hide from you, so let's just say it directly, he is looking for Zhao Jun."

"Didn't we fall down before? I don't know what happened to the hole, but it went all the way to the first floor. I thought I would definitely fall to my death, but fortunately, Zeng Xin used her hook to cushion it. When the two of us finally stood up, there was still a layer of bloody skin. Zeng Xin sprained his foot, so we could only support each other to find the way. The worker walked over while talking."

"We heard what they were talking about. That person basically said everything, including the words on that piece of paper." She pointed to the elevator without looking back, "He is discussing cooperation with Zhao Jun. To ask him to come to us, trick us into arresting us, bring us up, and stuff them into the elevator as some kind of sacrifice—he probably thinks that Zhao Jun is easy to cooperate with, and we two girls are easy to catch."

Fang Shiqing's heart sank again: "Zhao Jun...agreed?"

"I don't know," You Qingyu said, "In all fairness, from what we've heard, he's just hanging on to each other in an ambiguous way, and we don't know if he's afraid of that person, or he's setting up information. But I'm not sure if I continue to say that Will he agree to it? Then Zeng Xin jumped out and beat people. In the dark, she was crying and beating people. Although she had broken a leg, she was still very lethal. When I turned on the flashlight, only Zhao Jun fainted on the ground by himself, and the worker didn't know where he went."

"..." Fang Shiqing didn't know whether he should laugh or sigh now.

So Zhao Jun was so dizzy?From this point of view, it is not incomprehensible for him to pretend to faint all the time, after all, the situation before the fainting was very embarrassing.

"When the two of us led the unconscious Zhao Jun to find the way, we kept silent on this issue, but at that time I was thinking about what we should do when this time really came."

Everyone climbed onto the roof and saw the paper.He Xiangwu was yelling to express his doubts, Zeng Xin pulled him to persuade him a few words, but tears burst into tears after persuading him.

"I've thought about it all the way, but I can't think of a solution." She rubbed the space between her brows, "I think there must be another solution, there must be. You see this scene is so messy, the answer to the puzzle must be hidden around here, Let's search carefully, and we will definitely find another way out."

Before Fang Shiqing could speak, a voice suddenly broke in not far away.

"Impossible. Not anymore."

Gu Jinhong leaned against the pile of debris on the ground, sat down slowly, and buried half of his face in the palm of his hand.Fang Shiqing and You Qingyu didn't realize when he came here, and they were taken aback by his appearance.

This seemed to be the first time this person showed such uncontrollable emotions.In my impression, Gu Jinhong has always had no sense of presence, but his attitude has always been calm, his emotions have not had too many ups and downs, and his control of his self-image can be called precise.Now, however, he seems to have broken down.

He smiled to this side, and there was a taste of despair in his smile.

"I finally understand. This dungeon does have other solutions, but we have completely missed it," he said, "The murderer...he is the key to leave the dungeon. He is the living thing that the dungeon prepared for us' Sacrifice'; yet he was dead before.

"Can you understand? There is no other way, it is impossible to have it again. It has always been like this in puzzle games. Once the opportunity is missed, it is impossible to get the key item again—never."
