A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

After making a decision, his mood began to become lighter.

He felt as if he had never been so sane, so quick-witted.When the final goal is finalized, there is no need to hesitate about the next thing to do, and a series of things appear in the mind automatically and spontaneously, just like a program that has already been written.

——It seems that I have already thought about it unconsciously under the premise of this decision.

He first clicked on the props at hand, did some processing, and then used his peripheral vision to observe the scattered teammates.

After he walked away, Gu Jinhong didn't say anything, just sat in another place, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth.The others hardly paid attention to their conversation; You Qingyu walked to the corner of the rooftop alone, wondering if she was crying, Zhao Jun was in a coma, and Zeng Xin was in a daze.He Xiangwu was still digging his head into the cement block.

——Xiao Fengdi was looking at him calmly.

Speaking of which, this big guy has been standing by the side, scanning everyone's situation, but he seems to look at him a lot, and he doesn't know whether he is expecting him to find something or has other intentions.

This is undoubtedly a problem that needs to be solved.It may be the problem that needs to be solved the most.

After observing for a while, he turned around and walked towards You Qingyu as if nothing had happened.

Halfway through the walk, he "seems to have just realized" that You Qingyu was hiding and crying alone, so he had to turn around in embarrassment and forcefully walk towards someone else.

He Xiangwu was the closest to him, so he squatted down next to He Xiangwu.

"Brother Fang." He Xiangwu temporarily stopped the pickaxe in his hand, and forced a smile at him, the smile was weak.

When he first saw the piece of paper on the elevator door, He Xiangwu was very excited and made a fuss, but then he became very depressed, knocking on rocks and knocking on rocks throughout the whole process, letting others make trouble, Hardly looked up.

The ground around him was battered and pitted.Fang Shiqing turned over the broken stones around him, and found that there were a few ores mixed in, and said in surprise, "I didn't expect there to be mines here?"

"Only a little bit." He Xiangwu said listlessly, "It's much less than the one on the first floor, and it might not be enough to hit a hammer if you dig it all out."

"Speaking of which, have I told you? Actually, I also dug up a lot of things," Fang Shiqing said, "but it's not ore, but... gems and the like."

As he spoke, he took out the gemstones he dug up from the item bar piece by piece.

"Uh, do you have skills related to gems? Are these... quite valuable, and is there any other use besides selling them?"

"Whether it's useful or not can only be used after going out," He Xiangwu was unhappy, "It looks quite beautiful, if I can go out, I can use them to decorate jewelry or something, but now we don't even—"

"That's not necessarily true." Fang Shiqing interrupted, "By the way, do you want to check the items in the inventory as well? You should have a full set of tools with you. If possible, can you... Upgrade the weapon on the spot, or something? Maybe it will come in handy."

"Stop joking, Brother Fang," He Xiangwu lowered his head, "there are tools, but there is no smelting furnace here, let me strike iron with my head."

He was dejected in words, but in action, he still followed what Fang Shiqing said, took out all the ores he had mined, piled them on the ground, and counted them scribbled.

Probably he just wanted to find something to do for himself.

However, this is enough.In this way, the next step can be smoothly advanced.

Fang Shiqing took the opportunity to take out all the gems in his inventory and threw them beside him.He Xiangwu picked up two of them and looked at them, his expression finally moved.

"The quality of these gems is very high," he repeatedly studied against the light, "I don't know if the processed gems can be used again in reality, but I can use my skills to reprocess them and make them into ornaments or ornaments If so, it must sell well.”

"That's a good relationship," Fang Shiqing said with a smile, "You take your time."

After a while, he pretended to take out a few written materials and flipped through them, said, "Hey, this place doesn't seem right...I'll go to them to discuss it," got up and walked away.

He Xiangwu was completely unaware of this, and was still concentrating on flipping through the piles of things on the floor.

He breathed a sigh of relief.In this way, the gems harvested before can be brought back.

Xiao Fengdi was still watching him from the same spot, he thought it was because he was the only moving object on the entire rooftop.

- This is a problem that must be solved.

He took a deep breath and walked over to the other side.

"Have you discovered anything new?"

Seeing him shaking his head, Xiao Fengdi was not surprised, he just glanced at the other players, turned sideways, and stared at the distant sky.

He secretly looked at Xiao Fengdi, and found that his brows and eyes were also a little tired, but there was no look of despair or discouragement at all, and finally he felt a little relieved.

"Well, boss..." He tentatively said, "Do you have any thoughts—"

"Wait," the other party interrupted suddenly, "Actually, I've wanted to ask for a long time. Why do you keep calling me that? This kind of address is rarely heard, and it sounds like a term in a gangster movie."

"……what?"

Fang Shiqing was stunned for a moment.

He never expected that the other party would say such a thing at such a time—this is really a topic without any tension.

Xiao Fengdi turned his head to look at him.He realized that the other party was not joking to ease the atmosphere, but was seriously asking.

"Well, it's because you are more powerful. Recently, it is popular to call people who are more powerful in the industry big bosses." He said vaguely, "You... don't you really like it?"

"Not really." Xiao Fengdi paused, "It's okay, I'm just asking, you can call whatever you want, I know you're calling me."

Having said that, Fang Shiqing felt a little embarrassed.When he first yelled, he didn't think much about it, but he thought that in the novels he usually read, he yelled like a big boss to such characters, so he yelled casually, but he didn't expect it to take so long afterwards.

"Then, what do people you know before usually call you insiders?"

Xiao Fengdi was silent for a while: "...It's nothing special. The previous generation was called Comrade XX, but now it seems that they are generally called Teacher XX."

In addition to being different from Fengshui, Yixue and other systems that focus on inheritance, Lingren is essentially a practical occupation, and in a sense it is a technical type of work. Therefore, even when traditional culture is most suppressed, it develops relatively stably. ...very down to earth.

"Then... is it okay to call it that? Teacher Xiao?"

Fang Shiqing called out tentatively, the other party visibly froze, and turned his face away as if electrocuted.

"...Forget it, it sounds even weirder." He said, "You can call it whatever you want."

Fang Shiqing scratched his hair, thinking that whatever he called was the same, anyway, this was probably the last time he had a chance to address this person face to face.

"Anyway, that, what do you think about the current situation?"

He was in the mood to gossip, Xiao Fengdi probably knew it already.

"Well," the other party nodded, turned his head and looked into the distance, "I think it's impossible to find any clues here."

Looking into the distance from the rooftop, only the blue sky and white clouds and the faint background of the town can be seen.The clouds in the sky are all solidified, just like pasted pictures—or maybe they were originally stickers.

Fang Shiqing's heart sank a little, but Xiao Fengdi seemed to have something to say, so he didn't speak for a while.

Sure enough, he paused and said, "If you think about it carefully, we don't lack any clues. According to the experience of the last dungeon, all we need to find is the background of this dungeon, the story of the final enemy, and the clues leading to the final dungeon." The road where the BOSS is located is all that. Now they are all in front of us. All we need to do is to destroy it in the past."

With the experience of the last dungeon, he has learned a lot about the process of the game, and he can already use concepts such as "dungeon boss" and "boss room" normally.

"No, no, this place is different from the last dungeon, completely different," Fang Shiqing hurriedly objected, "Besides, even in the last dungeon, we first guessed the way to eliminate the BOSS, and then cooperated with each other to find the key prop mirror , this barely passed the level? And now, we don't know how to fight the boss of the abandoned building—"

"Maybe you'll know it when you see it," Xiao Fengdi said. "Didn't you say that the monster looks like a composite of two different human bodies? This kind of synthetic monster is often very fragile, and the position where the attack joins OK."

--This is impossible.Fang Shiqing had seen the final boss before. Although the big guy moved in a strange posture, he obviously formed a harmonious whole long ago.

"Even if...you can move, this time is different from last time." He felt his throat a little dry. "In the last instance, if you were injured, you still had the opportunity to go back to the previous scene to rest. Here, once you go down, There is no way out."

"But staying here is not an option. You have to try to know."

You just have to try it - it's really his style.

"I'm going to take the elevator down." He continued, "Although the paper says the elevator is for taking the 'sacrifice', I think it's actually a passage for the boss challenger."

"—Are you planning to go alone?"

"If anyone wants to go down together, of course I have no problem."

Xiao Fengdi's attitude was steady and firm, obviously he had decided to do this long ago, and now he just let him know.

Fang Shiqing glanced back at the elevator.

It was written on the door that only one sacrifice was needed, and the elevator could probably only take one person.After all, Xiao Fengdi has no gaming experience, so he doesn't know that many details are actually a hint of the restrictions given by the game system.

"However," he said after a while, "I prefer to go down by myself. It's the best solution for me to go down alone. You can just wait here. When the matter is resolved, you can leave the instance."

"But if you fail to beat that BOSS, you—"

Fang Shiqing stopped suddenly, then raised his hand and hit his head hard.

You are stupid, you are really stupid.

Although Xiao Fengdi's meaning was vague, it was very clear.If he goes down alone, if he wins, he can directly solve the boss and flatten the dungeon; if he loses, he will directly become the "sacrifice" of the boss.After he died in the hands of the BOSS, the dungeon will be cleared naturally, and the others can survive smoothly...

This is indeed the most "economical", the most "both well-being", and the most "safe" solution.

"How can this be done! Absolutely not," he said immediately, "You... Anyway, you definitely can't do it without you. If you're gone, what will you do next?"

"I'm not that indispensable," Xiao Fengdi said lightly, "In this dungeon, I'm separated from you most of the time. Aren't you all fine?"

"But without you, I would have died several times." Fang Shiqing insisted, "Anyway, I don't agree, absolutely disagree. You are a guide for players, and you are so powerful, even if everyone else is gone, you should still That's right."

Hearing these words, Xiao Fengdi suddenly smiled.

"Actually, our organization has counted the survival rate of 'game' participants in the past. The survival rate of ordinary 'players' is around 30.00%. Since there may be cases that have not been found, this probability will only be low or not high .As for the so-called 'guide player'—”

He looked at Fang Shiqing, "What do you think is the survival rate of 'guiding players'?"

You can guess from his expression that this is definitely not a good-looking number.

"——Two percent." He said slowly, "The organization has been recruiting spirit removers to participate in the 'game' for more than 20 years, and the number of people who have returned alive can be counted on one hand. For us, participating in this game , It’s no different from suicide. Did I tell you before? I have already prepared for it. From the time I participated, I knew that there would be such a day.”

"..."

If he hadn't already had a separate plan, he would probably have to kneel down and hug his thigh to beg him not to go this way, Fang Shiqing thought.

Now the opponent's plan only strengthened his determination to carry out his plan.There is only so much you can do to avoid situations you don't want to see.

"Besides, it doesn't necessarily mean failure." Xiao Fengdi added, "Everything is unknown now."

He looked really fearless, very calm, and not nervous.Probably what he said was true.

"..."

Fang Shiqing lowered his head and said nothing, thinking quickly about how to lead to the next topic.

The silence lasted for a moment, Xiao Fengdi reached out and gently touched the top of his head.

"Anyway, you have to persevere, and in the future... try not to be dead, and cherish your life more." He paused, "Last time you said that destroying a gem and destroying A glass bead brings different feelings.... But you know, there is someone who is willing to work hard to keep the bead; for him, the glass bead is as important as any precious stone .”

Fang Shiqing felt sore in his heart.From the perspective of the other party, these few words are basically leaving his last words, and his last words are actually explaining himself, a stranger who has only known him for more than two weeks... Boss, he is really a very good person, he thinks .

Because of this, nothing can happen to him.People saved him more than once, and now it's time to reciprocate—although no matter what you do, it's not a serious "return".

"Well, actually..." He tried his best to adjust his facial expression, looked at the other party cautiously, and said hesitantly, "Actually, when I found the body, I also found something else. Because I feel that the information in it is not very good. Wonderful, so I didn't show it to everyone..."

He glanced left and right, lowered his voice, "Boss, you'd better take a look at this before making a decision."

The pinnacle of his acting skills in this life is probably explained here.Xiao Fengdi looked at him and frowned slightly, but he didn't doubt it.

"……what?"

"I'll show it to you," Fang Shiqing reached into the item bar, "It has to be combined with the documents found in the water before. I think...it's quite important."

He sandwiched the record taken out of the water with the soft-faced copy he found on the rooftop, and handed it to the other party like a thief.

Xiao Fengdi took it over, opened it without rushing, and stared at him for a few seconds.Fang Shiqing looked back calmly, and urged him to be careful not to be discovered by others—especially not to be discovered by Gu Jinhong and Zhao Jun, otherwise it may cause trouble and so on.

He finally lowered his head and opened the book.

There are not many texts in the soft copy.But Fang Shiqing did some processing on it before, deliberately blurring some handwriting with water, and sketched a lot of miscellaneous information on it, and putting it together with the records in the water, it is even more confusing at first glance, and you need to concentrate on reading.

He looked around the rooftop with feigned unease, and started to walk towards Zhao Jun.

When moving, Xiao Fengdi immediately raised his eyes to look at him, until he knelt down next to Zhao Jun and didn't look back.

Zeng Xin sat beside her with her knees hugged, looking out of sorts.Sensing someone beside her, she raised her face, which was covered in tears.

"Shiqing," she asked in a low voice when she saw it was him, "You... tell me the truth, are we unable to get out?"

"How is it possible?" Fang Shiqing replied immediately, "There is always a way, don't worry so much. We will find a way."

At the same time, he felt his gaze shift away from his back.

He had vaguely noticed it before, as if when he was talking to Zeng Xin, the boss would always temporarily divert his attention.Maybe it's because she thinks this girl is strong enough to fight, and it's safe to talk to her?He didn't think about it, but instinctively felt that this point might be useful.

Because in fact this girl is neither cautious nor suspicious, and she is very easy to fool.

"You're talking like you're trying to coax me into being a fool," Zeng Xin bit her lips, "It's about time, so stop talking nonsense. Shi Qing, we... no matter who it is, we won't do anything wrong." The kind of thing that sends someone down as a sacrifice, right?"

"—I won't." Fang Shiqing squatted beside her, and said sincerely, "Boss certainly won't either, we will try our best to avoid this kind of thing from happening."

Zeng Xin's expression relaxed for a moment, but then tears began to fall again.

"But if this is the case, what shall we do in the future..."

Fang Shiqing walked around behind her and patted her on the back lightly.

While sobbing, she said intermittently, "Why did it become like this? Why does this game force us so much? Qingyu said that the game is prepared for clearing the level. A game that cannot be cleared is not a good game. But this copy You obviously don't want us to pass the customs properly...you have to leave something behind before you give up...Shi Qing?"

She said a lot, and then realized that the person who was next to her seemed to have disappeared.He looked around with tears in his eyes, but only caught a figure from the back.

——It was far away from her, but very close to the elevator in the middle of the rooftop.

"Shi Qing!!"

Zeng Xin screamed and jumped up in fright.The injured ankle sprained again, and she fell to the ground, and it was too late to get up again.

Xiao Fengdi's reading speed is actually very fast, even if the paper is messed up, he can scan it at a glance.However, when he turned to the last page, he found that there were some faint marks on the back of the paper, as if someone had scraped it out with fingernails.

With a thought in his heart, he turned around and faced the light with the paper, carefully moving the position, looking for the angle of reflection.

He found that these were actually some words, so he focused on distinguishing——

"I voluntarily"

"I am very happy to have this opportunity"

It says so.

He suddenly felt very bad.These words seem to have nothing to do with the previous content, so who left them?

"—Shiqing!!"

Zeng Xin's scream suddenly came from behind, startling everyone.

He turned around suddenly.

Fang Shiqing calmly turned sideways and squeezed into the elevator door.No one noticed his actions before, everyone was only focused on the world in front of them, and everyone was far away from him.No one can stop him.

There was chaos on the rooftop.Zeng Xin propped herself up with her arms in a panic, Gu Jinhong stood up suddenly, and there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground not far away.

The notebook in Xiao Fengdi's hand fell to the ground.

—So you...have such a plan already?

In the elevator, Fang Shiqing calmly pressed the door close button, followed by the B2 button.

The double doors in front of him slowly closed inwards, and looking out through the gap, they happened to be able to see Xiao Fengdi on the opposite side.

From such a long distance, he couldn't see the other person's expression clearly, he could only see that he threw the book in his hand almost immediately, as if he was frightened and angry——

Anyone who has been cheated so much must be angry, he thought.However, this is also impossible.How could I get into the elevator without lying to him a little bit.

That's enough.

"I'm sorry, boss, I took your job," he said to the crack of the door, "Also, goodbye... No, goodbye forever."

The elevator door slammed shut tightly.

This is a sealed iron box, one size smaller than ordinary passenger elevators, and the inner wall is very clean.

It trembled slightly, and began to descend steadily, at a very slow speed, as if it were not the same thing as the one that fell rapidly down the elevator shaft on the third floor.

Probably this time is the correct way to use it, and it was wrong last time.

"Shi-Shi Qing..."

You Qingyu was standing alone on the side, but was startled by Zeng Xin's shout and turned around. She didn't expect to see such a scene, and immediately felt a little dizzy.She took a step towards the middle of the roof, and immediately realized that it was too late.

It's too far away.

Under the attention of the players, the elevator door was completely closed, the elevator vibrated and began to slide downward.The speed is very slow, but it is so unshakable.

It all happened so fast.Too fast, too late to react.Intellectually, she realized what happened for the first time, but emotionally she couldn't understand——

Fang Shiqing... entered the elevator, and... went down?

And then...then what?Will he die?will become this building—

Xiao Fengdi seemed to have cursed something, and started running abruptly.

He didn't rush to the elevator, but ran to the edge of the side where You Qingyu was: this is where the players first went to the rooftop.

His speed was very fast, before the others could react, he had already rushed to the side of the building and jumped directly.

"Brother Xiao!"

You Qingyu screamed reflexively.This is tens of meters high, and if you fall down, you will definitely die.

Is this, is it a sudden suicide attempt by some kind of stimulus?No way, is Xiao Fengdi this kind of person?Or--

She grabbed the edge of the building, and then she was sure:

Halfway through the fall, Xiao Fengdi swung out the hook on his arm and hung on the scaffolding.

This can only be used as a buffer, and it will cause some damage to the body (health value), but it is much better than falling directly.

Using this method, he was on the surface in seconds, possibly even faster than the elevator over there.After the end, he was still able to move freely, and rushed into the building directly.

So... is he going to find a way to save people?

This building can go up or down, but there are occasional exceptions. For example, they have fallen from the hole between the third and fourth floors before.

What it seems to prohibit is the "normal way" of the descent, rather than the potentially fatal "fall".

"Brother Xiao?!"

Zeng Xin saw this scene as soon as she got up from the ground, and she was greatly stimulated.She dragged her injured leg and rushed over, wanting to jump down without hesitation, You Qingyu quickly grabbed him.

"No, Zeng Xin——what are you going to do? Brother Xiao is fine," she shouted, "he just..."

"Did he jump down to look for Shi Qing?" Zeng Xin got rid of her with a wave of her hand, "I also—"

She also knows the cushioning technique when falling from a high altitude, and has used it before.But at that time, the height was only half of what it is now, not to mention that the fall would dislocate her ankle. How dare You Qingyu let her jump again in this situation, and quickly hugged her waist desperately.

"You won't be of any use if you go down." Gu Jinhong came to the back and looked down at the bottom of the building. "Things are already like this, and the next development is no longer within our control."

He Xiangwu threw away the pick a long time ago, ran over and lay down on the side of the building, looking up like everyone else.Except for Zhao Jun who hadn't woken up yet, everyone gathered together.

His face was full of bewilderment and helplessness: "Why...how did this happen, they, Brother Fang, why did he just..."

Gu Jinhong smiled slightly, the meaning in the smile was very bitter.

"Don't ask. For now, be thankful that we survived."
