flying switch

Moon held on to the door, Alai's footsteps stopped at the door, and Z turned his head in a daze.The zombies howled, as if losing their minds, one by one scrambling to the place where no bell fell, waving their limbs and falling, and soon completely covered the place where no bell fell into the sea.

The three turned their heads in unison, and at the end where their eyes met, the man on the motorcycle stared blankly at the sea.The sea breeze blew off his hood, and through the hazy moonlight, his violently heaving shoulders were no longer hidden.The zombies didn't even look at him, and jumped off the cliff with the big army without looking back.The edge of the cliff that was originally full was cleared up in an instant, leaving only one or two stragglers looking for prey at a loss.

The zombies locked on to the nearest living body, and ran towards [-] who was still staring at the sea with claws and claws. He suddenly turned the motorcycle accelerator, and was about to rush out of the cliff——

"boom--!"

The two running zombies didn't have time to make a sound, their entire heads were crushed by the rear wheel of the motorcycle, and they fell softly to the ground one after another without making a sound.The rear wheel of the motorcycle landed steadily, Qian Shuichong suppressed his emotions, and came to the lighthouse door: "Let's go."

His mood was so calm, the outburst of venting his anger just now seemed like a hallucination, but several people present could clearly see that the rear wheel of his motorcycle was still stained with fresh brains and blood.

Moon is complicated.On the one hand, she knows that this is just a game, on the other hand, the death in the competition is rendered very realistically. It is not difficult to imagine how [-] felt when she fell off the cliff without a clock just now and watched the whole process but was too late to stop it.She didn't say anything in the end, but gave [-] the way to enter the door.

Alai was still in a daze, [-] swished past his eyes, leaving a trail of cold air on his forehead.He shivered and looked towards the edge of the cliff: "No..."

Moon took his hand and comforted him: "Without the reminder of his teammate canceling his account, Wu Zhong should be able to come back."

But all the mutants in the competition will not be able to cancel their numbers except for the teleportation array. After the competition, I don't know whether it will be counted according to the number of sales or what. This can only be used as a consolation, not at ease.Alai couldn't bear to look at the sea again, his head was still dazed, and the scene of [-] passing by was replayed again, and he couldn't help asking: "Then [-]...?"

Moon was silent for a moment: "To be honest, I don't know. It's the first time I saw him like this."

Qian Shuichong walked into the lighthouse in silence to search for the treasure. He felt an uncontrollable anger and sadness in his body, which made him a little flustered.This is just a game, he knows this, but Wu Zhong's determined eyes reappear repeatedly, and the scene of falling into the sea is like an ice cone nailed to his heart, and it is difficult for him to regard the game as "just a game".

Alai and Moon on the first floor of the lighthouse were talking about something, but he didn't pay attention, looking around distractedly.

The sea breeze blew, and the smoke was crushed by him.Qian Shuichong looked down, the smoke under his feet was so familiar, he followed the traces of the smoke to search for the source, and saw a lonely wooden door.

The wooden door looked badly damaged and crumbling, but when I walked in and pushed it, I found that it was very strong.

Qian Shuichong failed to push open the thick heavy door, turned his head and wanted to call Wuzhong, but after a pause, he twisted into "MOON".But there was no Moon and Alai behind him, nor was there an empty first floor of the lighthouse.Seeing the thick fog behind him, Qian Shuichong unconsciously changed his tone: "This is not a good way to say hello."

The sea breeze came from behind, and said in a light voice: "This is not a good reaction to finding a treasure."

Qian Shuichong turned to the wooden door.The wooden door has been opened, revealing a completely different view on the other side.At the top of the tower, the sea breeze swayed the wizard's robe wantonly. The witch turned her side and smiled with red lips under the hood: "Long time no see."

Qian Shuichong didn't respond.

The witch didn't care whether she got a response, turned around and continued to look at the sea, and introduced herself: "This is the top of the lighthouse, and it is also where the treasure is hidden. You are the first player to come here, congratulations on getting the treasure .”

She moved a step to the left, revealing the treasure chest in front of her: "Come and get your treasure, warrior of the doomsday."

Footsteps finally sounded, and Qian Shuichong quickly walked to the treasure chest.With a wave of the witch's hand, the treasure chest flew to Qian Shuichong's waist for easy opening.Qian Shui opened the box calmly, and put the treasure into the storage without even looking at it.

"You get the treasure, the competition is over..." The witch paused and turned to him: "Generally speaking, the program ends here, but I can make an exception. Your companion—"

The witch continued calmly: "Although he has sunk in the sea of ​​illusion, there is still a glimmer of life."

Qian Shuichong finally gave the witch some attention: "Will he be canceled?"

"Perhaps." The witch smiled, flipping her hands to conjure up two crystal balls, one on the left and the other on the right, and showed them to Qian Shuichong: "There are two choices here. The one on the left," she held up the crystal ball in her left hand, "is a treasure. The one on the right is your companion in the sea. But—”

The witch stopped Qian Shuichong's choice, and stated in a low voice: "Even if you choose a companion, I can only guarantee that he will not be canceled for the time being. He was bitten twice by the mutant species of the Sea of ​​Illusions, and was poisoned by the illusion essence emitted by the poppy." It has been strongly affected, and unless it is awakened, it will remain asleep in the illusion."

This is equivalent to a pin number in disguise.

Qian Shuichong found the treasure and returned it to its original place: "How to wake him up?"

The witch looked at his movements and was not very surprised: "Enter his illusion, let him wake up on his own, and let him realize that he is in the illusion. But pay attention, the current illusion is different from the illusion of the sea of ​​illusion or the single effect of the poppy illusion element." , it will be more real and painful. It is no longer a dream, but a nightmare."

"What if I fail to wake him up?" Qian Shuichong asked.

The witch replied: "Then you have to stay in the illusion until he wakes up. There is endless time in the illusion. In fact, it will not exceed one day in the game or in reality."

"Can I choose when to enter the illusion?"

"Of course, but when it comes to this," the witch's smile remained unchanged, and she took out the treasure again and handed it to Qian Shuichong, "I have to use it."

Qian Shuichong looked at the treasure in the palm of his hand—the pocket watch, and was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"It means that I like the choice you make, so I will give you the treasure," the witch waved her hand, the red light flashed, and the pocket watch was turned to zero by the light, and the witch said, "The pocket watch won't turn automatically. If you want to enter the environment, turn the second hand forward one notch. As for your companion in the sea, you will know his position when you leave the competition."

Qian Shuichong looked at the most conspicuous second hand on the pocket watch, which was different from what he saw along the way, and said in puzzlement, "The clue to the next treasure..."

"Of course it's provided by the pocket watch," the witch grabbed a black cat in the air, "I wish you good luck."

[System notification: The treasure has been collected, and the competition is about to end. Thank you for your hard work and participation. 】

The competition system notification popped up, distracting Qian Shuichong for a moment, and then looked in the direction the witch left. The smoke, witch and black cat all disappeared completely.

Moon's call came from the earphone, and [-] settled down: "Moon? I got the treasure. I have to tell you one thing, I have a way to save Wuzhong."

[System notification: The countdown to the end starts in [-] seconds. 】

Seeing the sudden smiles on the faces of MOON and Alai, Z breathed a sigh of relief, and closed the system notification with peace of mind, waiting for the transmission.

The treasure is not in her hands, and the plan is reset. She has to find another way to get into the Swift Gang.And the three guys in the SUV, if I may...

Insufficient funds looked at Z's tall and straight silhouette thoughtfully, thinking of something, the corners of his mouth twitched.The poppy swayed in the preservation tube in her hand, the moonlight fell, the sea calmed down, and a red gleam lingered around everyone.

[System notification: [-] seconds, transmission starts, goodbye everyone~]

In the red light, fingers painted with red nail polish paused on the dashes of this notice, caressing them reluctantly.The sea breeze blew again, the system notification disappeared, and all players disappeared.The competition map was distorted and compressed, and finally turned into flying smoke, disappearing to nowhere where the data was stored.

The flying switch, the ash area, the roof of Rumeng Library.

When there was a clang of gold coins, three people appeared.

Following the frantically bubbling message notification, Qian Shuichong opened his eyes, looked around, and looked beside him after confirming his safety.Alai and Moon were checking the situation of the gold coins. After confirming that the treasure gold coins disappeared with the awakening map and the external contact was available, they nodded at him and continued to check the expenditure and income of the take-off gold coins.

"Where's No Clock?" Qian Shuichong asked immediately.

"That's right, what about Brother Wu?" Alai was stunned, "Didn't you say there is a way...?"

MOON looked at the reminder that popped up in the safe room, and understood: "Something has just entered the safe room, and it has not been blocked from the door. It should be no bell."

Alai wrinkled his face: "Item? Won't the witch pack him up and put him in the courier?"

"Probably not," MON put away the message and reminded, "The map is closed, it's best to go offline to rest first, and then discuss tactics. Especially you, [-], your condition is not very good..."

"..."

The invisible leaves in the air twirled and left leisurely.

Moon looked at the empty backside and was speechless for a moment. Alai was still struggling with the delivery without a clock, so he didn't pay attention to this at the moment.She sighed inaudibly, seeking a stick of incense for Jiu's future marriage in the bottom of her heart, and picked up the little fool Alai by the way: "Go to the safe room to discuss the next step, and we will talk after the discussion."

When the elevator arrived, Qian Shuichong stood behind the opened elevator door, took a deep breath, and walked forward holding his pocket watch.

The soft light was on in the safe room, and in that environment, he stepped out of the big soft bed connected to the equipment, and the dry and tidy Wu Zhong was lying peacefully.Except for the faintly visible wound on his neck and his unattractive expression, it is almost impossible to tell what happened to him in the game.

Qian Shuichong checked the actual time. It was one minute past ten o'clock in the evening, and he cleared the customs very efficiently, which is worthy of praise.There are still at least eight hours until tomorrow morning. According to Wu Zhong's performance before, eight hours may be enough for him to wake up and leave the nightmare.

"Wait, [-]!" MON rushed over, before Qian Shuichong lay down next to Wuzhong and waved the second hand of his pocket watch, "Let's have a brief meeting first."

"Okay," Qian Shuichong hurried, "I have briefly described the way to save him just now, and I plan to do it next. If you go online, Wu Zhong will probably wake up."

Moon knew it would be useless to persuade him to rest first, so he simply mentioned something else: "Then the new treasure?"

"The witch said that the clues are provided by the pocket watch," Qian Shuichong handed out the pocket watch, "but the pocket watch is an important tool to save the clockless, and the second hand turns me into a bad environment. So actually I doubt that the clues will appear in the clockless environment."

Alai was confused: "Illusion?"

"It's possible," MON thought carefully, "You pay attention to observation, if the pocket watch is still in the dream, then this guess must be true."

Alai was confused again: "Why? Can a pocket watch guide the way?"

Moon smiled: "That's right. An urgent search result. After being addicted to zombie games for a while, Zuo Xing became obsessed with collecting compass. There is a compass in it, which looks like a pocket watch."

"So..." Alai seemed to understand, "Does Dionysus have to rely on Dionysus alone for the clue this time?"

"Probably." Moon replied.

Qian Shuichong held his pocket watch silently: "Understood. After you go offline, take a good rest and see you tomorrow."

Moon wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it. He just pointed to the cabinet beside him: "Coffee, you know. If you can't hold on, get some before entering the illusion. There may be something in the nightmare."

"Well," Qian Shuichong smiled slightly, "Thank you."

MOON moved her cervical spine and greeted Alai: "Let's go Alai, get off the assembly line."

Alai didn't move, he stared at Wu Zhong on the bed for a moment, then suddenly punched Qian Shuichong: "My brother Wu will be handed over to you Dionysus, it doesn't matter if the clues are not clues, the main thing is him. This number he uses For three years, I have formed a team with him for three years, please don't let him cancel the account!"

Qian Shuichong said seriously, "Okay."

Clenching fists, it's a deal.
