A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Gu Jinhong let out a long breath, and slowly put his hand down.

Even though he was on the verge of losing control just now, after venting his emotions briefly, he returned to calmness as quickly as possible.

However, although his attitude calmed down, that desperate attitude was firmly imprinted in his eyes.

"I'm not kidding you," he repeated, "it's over."

Facing this situation, You Qingyu was caught off guard, showing a little bewildered look.

Fang Shiqing was stunned.His previous experience with Gu Jinhong basically overlapped, so he quickly understood what he meant.

"You mean, the correct way to clear the level is... we should grab the construction worker on the fifth floor, bring him all the way up, and then use him as a sacrifice here? This, doesn't seem right. "

This doesn't make sense logically.

It was impossible for them to predict the information posted on the elevator door in advance, and it was impossible for them to know in advance that they would save the life of the worker surnamed Liu.Under this premise, when that guy was besieged by armor, unless the Virgin Mary had a heart attack, who would have thought of saving his life?

Assuming it was really saved, then... the Holy Mother who will save the murderer, at this time, it is impossible to send the person he saved as a sacrifice without blinking an eye, right?

If someone would do this, then this person... is too schizophrenic.

After understanding what they meant, You Qingyu frowned immediately.

"There's nothing wrong with that murderer. He himself is a 'prop' provided by the game." Gu Jinhong lowered his head and said softly.

"I should have thought of it a long time ago - in the system of this abandoned building, his appearance itself is very strange. Don't you find it strange why he appears here in a human form? Obviously he and the copy of this copy The BOSS has nothing to do with the construction of this building. Why is such a character designed in this dungeon, and what is his role?"

In terms of function, isn't the biggest function to increase the risk factor for the players... This kind of alive and kicking murderer is much more frightening than a cold armored robot.

However, as mentioned before, Gu Jinhong's understanding of "games" is very essential.He will not consider the external performance effect, but will try to reach the root, and directly think about the intention of the game designer.

"The existence of this character itself is a hint, including the way he appeared on the stage, the invitation to cooperate, and even the way of death—unfortunately, it is too late to say this now," Gu Jinhong smiled bitterly again, "There is no other way."

"You can't help it if you say it can't be done?" You Qingyu suddenly turned and walked to the other side, "It's too early to give up now. We haven't investigated this layer carefully, maybe there is something crucial that can be solved. It works. Shiqing, I'll go over there to have a look, can you just check this side?"

It is said that in extreme situations, women tend to be more stoic and calm than men-this has now been verified.

Fang Shiqing pressed his heart.

He can still maintain a calm face, but in fact, a storm has already set off in his heart.

In the conversation just now, he has gradually understood Gu Jinhong's logic, and has almost been convinced by him——

The so-called "game" is something artificially designed.A miraculous escape from a desperate situation—such a situation may happen in reality, but it is absolutely impossible in the designed journey.

Once the key points are missed, it becomes inevitable to walk into BE.

However, when You Qingyu turned to leave, he still forced himself to calm down.

Instead of saying something high-sounding like "it's too early to give up now", it's better to say that there is actually no way out now.

He looked around and found Xiao Fengdi standing on the other side of the roof, looking at him without blinking, so he ran over in small steps.

"That..." He struggled for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Boss? Did you hear what we just said?"

The rooftop is wide enough, and the volume of their conversation is not low. If you want to hear it, you can hear the voice on the other side.

"Well," Xiao Fengdi pursed his lips, "What do you think should be done now?"

——This is his plan after discussing it with himself.This undoubtedly means that he is completely unsure about the current situation.

"In short, there is no turning back now. Let's check this floor first. Oh, I'll just come and look for it. You don't have to do anything, boss. Just stay here. I'll call you if something happens."

He didn't understand why he said that, probably because he had a bad premonition in his heart.

You Qingyu has already reached the westernmost corner, kicked away the cement bucket in front of him, and rummaged through the garbage on the ground for something that might be useful.Fang Shiqing said a few words briefly, then followed what he said before, turning his head and turning in from the east side a little bit.

Gu Jinhong leaned against the randomly stacked bags of cement, silently watching him work.

Fang Shiqing dragged a bag of cement from beside him and threw it on the ground, splashing a thick layer of dust.He finally asked, "Do you think this behavior makes sense?"

"Ah?" Fang Shiqing wiped off his sweat. These cement bags are not light and it is very difficult to drag them.

"You know it's just useless work," he said, "repetition of such meaningless actions will only make people feel ridiculous. Compared with that, it's—"

"It's not completely useless." Fang Shiqing was stunned, and suddenly pointed at his back, "What is that?"

Something sharp and solid poked out from the cement bag behind Gu Jinhong.

"This is..." Human - hand bones.

Gu Jinhong was startled.

Under the current circumstances, bones, corpses and the like can no longer arouse instinctive fear.Fang Shiqing ran over and dragged the bag away, only to see that what was pressed underneath was indeed a fragmented human skeleton.

Gu Jinhong finally started to help, and the two quickly moved the cement pile away completely.There are a lot of human bones stacked between these bags, most of which are already soft and crisp, and I don't know how long they have been in the sun here.

"These should be the victims who died here before." Gu Jinhong carefully restored the bones. Judging from the number of skulls, there are four corpses here. "This is an open platform. If people die here, The body was neither dehydrated nor cryogenically treated, so the flesh decomposed quickly, leaving only the skeleton."

"Er...can you see how they died?"

Gu Jinhong glanced at him: "I'm not a forensic doctor."

Fang Shiqing looked around, and found that You Qingyu seemed to have found something, and asked Zeng Xin to help clean it up, while Xiao Fengdi was still watching him from a distance, and came over as soon as he received a look for help. up.

"——they were probably killed by someone." The boss also lived up to his expectations at all, and he came to a conclusion after just two glances.

"Not to mention, these few places," he casually pointed to several bones, including two skulls, "they must have been broken by blows, at least they had fought fiercely before they died. Of course, it may also be Injured on the way up the stairs - but considering they were all buried under cement bags, the chances of being killed are higher."

"Killed?"

"Correct."

So here comes the question, it’s all on the top floor, who killed these people?

There should be no more armor haunting here.The murderer could reach the top floor, but he has no reason to kill people here, let alone hide the body under the concrete—rather than kill people, he's more likely to stuff people into the elevator.

This kind of thing can't come up with a result just by thinking about it, you have to find clues.Fang Shiqing began to search under the cement bag again, and soon found several old backpacks, the number and number of people matched.

Despite the dust, these packs are surprisingly strong.Gu Jinhong took one, shook it, and said in surprise: "The logo of this bag looks very similar to a well-known brand in reality. It is the one that specializes in outdoor products."

As he spoke, he opened the backpack and poured out a bunch of messy things from it, including mineral water, moldy and spoiled food, parasols, etc., as well as thousands of yuan in banknotes and some expired bills. The time written on it was in Three or four years ago.

The contents of each bag were similar, and after reading them all, he came to a conclusion: "It seems that these people belong to the same team of backpackers. I don't know why they entered this abandoned building."

"..." Fang Shiqing felt more and more that this person must be a rich second generation with money and leisure.

Although no more clues were found in their bags, the sum of the bits and pieces of money came to more than 2 yuan, which can be regarded as a windfall.

It's not very ethical to take money from dead people, but it doesn't make sense to keep the money buried here anyway.Taking a step back, if they can't find a way to end the dungeon, maybe they have to lie here with them.

Gu Jinhong didn't want to sit next to these skeletons, so he changed his seat.The presence of these bodies did not change his mind.

At this time, You Qingyu told them to go and have a look at the other side. Fang Shiqing glanced at it from a distance, and found that there seemed to be a few corpses found there.At first glance, the rooftop looks very quiet. Who would have thought that there are so many corpses buried under the sundries.

Xiao Fengdi pulled him to stand up, got up first and walked over, but when Fang Shiqing wanted to follow, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.

He bent down, pulled the cement bag at his feet, and pulled out an old soft-bound book.

This book is very ordinary, it is the kind of one five one.He thought it fell out of some backpack, flipped through it casually, but was startled by the frantic large characters on the page.

This kind of book has horizontal grids, but the handwriting on it is not written according to the grid at all. Every character is big and ugly, and the handwriting is crooked, as if it was written under a very excited situation.

"Hello, stranger who opened this page," the opening sentence reads. "Since you can see this book, you must have seen the corpses of my companions. I want to confess here, I want Confess to them, to you. I killed them, I killed them."

When he came into contact with the following lines of text, he slammed the book shut and stuffed it into the inventory, the panic that had been suppressed in his heart burning wildly again.

Finding that he didn't follow, Xiao Fengdi turned around and called him again: "What's wrong?"

"--fine."

He hurried a few steps and ran to Xiao Fengdi's side.

On You Qingyu's side, what was found were two corpses of a man and a woman lying on top of each other.The corpse was lying under a translucent plastic sheet, which was only roughly covered. The time of death should be closer than those on the other side, and the skeleton was still hung with not rotten cloth.

The cause of their death was so obvious that anyone could understand it without Xiao Fengdi pointing it out.

A familiar handleless knife was stuck on the ribs of the male corpse, and Fang Shiqing recognized it as something used by the worker surnamed Liu.

They were killed by the murderer.As for the cause of death, it is unknown, but we can guess one or two based on the situation at the scene: Judging from the posture at the time of death, the two deceased may have a very close relationship, and they must not allow each other to become a sacrifice for the abandoned building.If they went up to the top floor with a worker surnamed Liu, they might have the idea of ​​letting him into the elevator. This would cause conflicts, and the two sides would fight, with the latter winning.

"Why are there so many corpses upstairs?" You Qingyu became a little impatient, "Didn't the seniors who escaped successfully leave us some hints?"

--How can it be.Fang Shi said with a clear heart, according to the setting of the dungeon, no one had ever escaped before.

Zeng Xin sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at the two corpses with straight eyes.I don't know if she is tired from crying or just used to it.

"Did you find anything over there?" You Qingyu asked Fang Shiqing, "Anything is fine, materials, information, pictures, maps, experience of failure or success, anything is fine."

Fang Shiqing quietly glanced at his inventory.

"No," he said, "we only found the body and the money."
