Because Xie Er was present, it was difficult for Shen Yongle to conjecture, except for Mo Jue, no one seemed to have seen the teleportation machine, so no one went there to discuss it.

Everyone's attention was still on the escape from the butler just now.

The fact that Shell was caught by the housekeeper as soon as he opened the door was actually within everyone's expectations from the beginning.

Xie Xinyun seems to have quite a lot of experience with this: "Prop cards are originally like this. It may be the time limit for use. If you stop involuntarily when the time comes, it will trigger danger."

The last time Hokkien Shu used [Kargu Garcia] actually had a similar situation. When chasing Song Xintong, he ran into the killer combination of Mo Jue and Yan Ning head-on.

In fact, calling it "dangerous" is not quite appropriate. When Shen Yongle watched Aksha's live broadcast, he also saw a few times that item cards "returned after they failed". It's the boss chase, and most of it isn't that enjoyable anyway.

Because most props can only be used once or twice in a dungeon, it is not easy to judge whether the upper limit time of each time is consistent.

But Shen Yongle felt that it should not be that simple.

Calgu Garcia himself was caught by the police because the hidden guns and masks were discovered, and Song Xintong discovered the anomaly because Min Nanshu wanted to hide the note.

Perugia was arrested by the local police because he handed over the stolen painting to the Uffizi Museum, and Xie Xinjun also handed over the stolen key to Xie Er before the housekeeper suddenly appeared.

Shen Yongle has played too many games, so he feels that the two are not a coincidence. It may be that the item card itself has some kind of limitation, like - it has both "effects" and "side effects".

But even if this is the case, players can only study the life of props and card characters after the dungeon is released, and try their best to avoid related side effects.

However, the item cards found in this dungeon are usually the most miraculous for clearing the dungeon. Unless Shen Yongle happens to know the background of the characters like this time, it is almost impossible to avoid the side effects.

Shen Yongle didn't get too entangled in this issue. When it was almost time for dinner, according to the original plan, half of the people led by Xie Xinyun led the butler away, while he, Mo Jue, Gu Qingyan and the rest covered Xie Er all the way and met him smoothly. younger sister.

Everyone was a little apprehensive.

Let Xie Er recognize his relatives, in fact, there are two choices: meeting his mother or meeting his sister, and everyone will choose that little devil, because she doesn't seem to be too lethal...

Yet all of them were wrong.

Xie Er was a little confused at first, but when he understood that everyone wanted him to recognize his sister, he opened his mouth slightly, and looked at the little loli in disbelief: "This is not my sister!"

Little Loli blinked, and suddenly let out a very lethal scream.

Mo Jue frowned instantly, and the female player standing next to the girl subconsciously wanted to cover her mouth, but saw that the little loli suddenly had a ferocious expression, and she didn't know where to generate a strange force, and grabbed the table knife on the table. The posture cut the female player's carotid artery.

The female player couldn't even utter a cry, she raised her hand to cover her crazily bleeding neck and fell limp, was caught by Mo Jue who rushed over immediately, and handed it to Gu Qingyan who arrived a step later.

Shen Yongle was taken aback, seeing Gu Qingyan's rescue actions quickly stopped, his heart went cold for a moment.

Everything happened very fast.

Noisy footsteps could already be heard on the stairs, apparently the butler who had heard the girl scream rushed over.

Mo Jue frowned slightly, and the movements of his hands became more and more violent, obviously wanting to resolve the confusion before the butler arrived.

However, the little loli seemed to have been triggered by the rampage switch, and her skills improved several levels in an instant. After a few tricks with Mo Jue, she was forced to the table. As soon as the advantage bent down and got across the table, holding the bloody knife, he rushed towards Shen Yongle.

Mo Jue frowned: "Lele hide!"

Shen Yongle's conditioned reflex trained by instructor Mo for a month played a decisive role at this moment, and he subconsciously rolled to the side, avoiding the little devil's stab in the kidney.

The barrage screamed in fright.

[Ah ah ah, I was scared to death!I almost lost my sexual happiness for the rest of my life! ! ]

Shen Yongle: "..."

He quickly realized that something was wrong - the little devil's target was not him at all, but Xie Er, who had been protected by him all this time!

Mo Jue had already noticed the problem, his eyes darkened instantly, he glanced across the table from the corner of his eye, quickly selected a fork, raised his hand and threw it over.

Yet someone was faster than him.

Shell was so frightened that he backed up again and again. The little girl was only half his height, but she held up the table knife and stabbed the boy in the heart... Then someone lifted her arm skillfully, and her body turned uncontrollably. The same angle from the female player pierced her artery.

Probably because she was running too fast, due to inertia, the knife cut through the artery without stopping, and cut the trachea all the way. At first glance, it seemed that half of the head had been cut off.

The maid who arrived with the butler screamed like a chicken again, and even a few female players couldn't help screaming.

Gu Qingyan withdrew his trembling hand calmly and nodded at the butler: "Mr. Michaelis."

The butler's eyes lightly passed over him and landed on Shell.

Shen Yongle quickly got up from the ground, and pulled Xie Er behind him, blocking the housekeeper's view.

Unfortunately, it was obviously too late.

Mr. Mikalis smiled slightly, and walked up to Shell: "Please follow me back."

Xie Er didn't seem to have regained his composure, he glanced nervously at Shen Yongle, and then glanced at the other players as if asking for help.

Mo Juechong shook his head at Xie Xinyun, who was about to speak, and everyone remained silent, watching the young man's eyes gradually fill with tears, followed by the butler step by step, and left the chaotic scene.

Gu Qingyan sighed angrily.

The maids began to clean up the scene.

Xie Xinyun glanced at the corpse that was carried away, walked over and lowered his voice in surprise: "What's going on?! Lin Li...?"

Gu Qingyan briefly told her what happened: "...that's about it. When I saw her rushing over, I didn't have time to think about it, so I moved my hands..."

He also seemed a little apprehensive, but tried his best to suppress it.

Xie Xinyun couldn't comfort him either, and thought for a while: "Xie Er said that wasn't his sister? What does it mean?"

Gu Qingyan frowned tightly: "I don't know... Is it not just Xie Er who was replaced?"

It is also possible to think so, Xie Er was replaced, his mother and younger sister could not have been aware of it, maybe even the mother and younger sister were replaced by Jieer's relatives...

Beside him, Shen Yongle raised his hand to touch his bosom, only to realize that the diary he had been carrying with him had been accidentally dropped just now.

Mo Jue stood not far away, picked it up for him and handed it to him.

"Eh?" Shen Yongle noticed that a corner of the diary that looked like an old photo was exposed on the edge, it seemed that it broke the interlayer when it was thrown out, and it accidentally fell out.

He slowly pulled out the photo from the interlayer of the cover, and found that it was a family portrait. In the photo, the normal Shell, his sister, his mother, and the deceased old Duke were smiling at the camera.

Shell looks much healthier than now, and the younger sister in the photo - looks exactly like the little devil who just went berserk.

Shen Yongle and Mo Jue looked at each other.

He looked up and scanned the crowd, and finally expressed the suspicion that had arisen from the moment he saw the Transformer: "Maybe it's not a replacement...or rather, it's not a simple replacement."

The players all looked over.

Shen Yongle inhaled slightly: "Do you know the machine that replicates people in "The Prestige"?"

If this is a duplication setting, the principle does not need to be correct, and duplication can be achieved through the shape changer.

And the "shape-shifting" that runs through the entire dungeon story is likely to be the so-called "greatest magic" that will be staged on the fifth day in the mission.

The "impostor" in this dungeon may not only be the replacement between Sher and Jieer, but also the replacement between the original sister and mother and their duplicates. Only in this way can it explain why the current The younger sister obviously looks the same as before, but she is identified as an imposter by Shell.

Before Shen Yongle could explain further, the butler had already returned, but obviously everyone had understood what he meant, and they all looked at each other anxiously.

There was one less player, but everyone had no time to grieve.

They originally thought that if their sister died tonight, there would be no magic salon. Who would have thought that when the stipulated time came, the curtain of the stage would still be opened, revealing the huge water tank and an elegant lady.

This was clearly Shell's mother, who looked exactly like the lady in the photo.

The Duchess greeted everyone gently, and then turned to Gu Qingyan: "Sir, are you willing to cooperate with my magic trick tonight?"

Everyone's heart trembled, and their worried eyes instantly focused on Gu Qingyan.

Just now everyone saw Gu Qingyan kill his sister, so this is... just like Zhang Lei, triggering the punishment of collapse?

Gu Qingyan was quite calm. He stood up, fixed his eyes on the cuboid water tank supported by an iron frame and had transparent walls, put his hands on his chest and bowed slowly: "My honor."

Like the chainsaw, "Water Prison Escape" is also one of the classic magic tricks, and its most famous performer should be Harry Houdini.

The key point of this magic is actually the skill of knotting when binding hands before starting the performance - when binding, you should keep your hands crossed in front of your chest, inflate your lungs, make a fist with one hand and place it under your armpit, and loosen your fist after the performance begins Inhale, and there will be a gap to break free.

Gu Qingyan obviously knew this technique, and took the corresponding pose before being tied up.

But my wife shook her head: "No, I have to tie it according to my method. Come on, you first stretch out your hands..."

Shen Yongle clenched his fist suddenly.

Shen Yongle raised his hand: "Hi Ma'am, may I come on stage and help you tie him up?"

The Duchess stopped her hands, looked up at him, and then shook her head gently: "No, I only need an assistant tonight."

The Duchess quickly tied Gu Qingyan's wrists tightly, then tied his feet together, and finally connected his hands and feet with a rope, controlling the length to about one meter, so that he could only keep his hands hanging down when he stood upright. posture.

Gu Qingyan's face was very ugly, even if he didn't say a word, everyone could tell from the tightness of the rope that this NPC should be extremely strong.

From the opening of the curtain, Shen Yongle noticed that there was a steel frame at the four corners of the water tank, which seemed to be used to support the water tank, but it was nearly one person's height higher than the top of the tank.

Only now did he know the true function of the steel frame.

The Duchess let Gu Qingyan sit on the top of the water tank, and then fixed the knot of his ankle somewhere, and waited for the bracket to rise slowly, pulling Gu Qingyan upside down directly above the water tank, so that everyone could see clearly It is a grid-shaped box cover that can be lifted and lowered. There are two cross-shaped iron bones in the center. It rises to a certain height to lift people up, and then slowly lowers back to be parallel to the top of the box.

In the eyes of the players, this process is extremely long. Everyone looked at Gu Qingyan's face gradually congested, and they were so anxious that they could not wait to go up and manually accelerate it.

The huge machine is like a part of the performance. When the iron frame returns to its place, there is a "click" sound, and the lights hidden in the four steel frames are also lit up one after another, announcing the beginning of the magic with a full sense of ceremony.

There is already a layer of water in the box, and there are countless keys under it. Obviously, the key needs to be found in the end to open the box lid.

A steady stream of water began to pour along the four walls, and soon covered Gu Qingyan's forehead.

Shen Yongle was a little anxious, she turned her head and glanced unconsciously.

He was originally a person who was easy to talk to, other players who hadn't spoken much were fine, but Gu Qingyan fought with them these days, as if he was already half a teammate, he really couldn't bear to see death .

Mo Jue was also frowning, thinking quickly about the solution.

Gu Qingyan has exhausted all his strength since he was hung upside down, trying to dislocate his wrist and try to free his hands first.

However, half a minute later, his mouth and nose were already covered with water, and the knots on his wrists were getting tighter and tighter, not to mention there were still keys all over the floor waiting to be tested.

Fortunately, his waist strength is good, and he can barely bend down temporarily by leaning against the wall of the water tank, and put his mouth out of the water to take a breath.

Shen Yongle looked at the keys all over the bottom of the tank, and couldn't help feeling anxious for him. With so many keys, even if he could try one, he would have to try for a long time: "This is simply an impossible task!"

Mo Jue was also frowning and staring at the key. Hearing this, he shook his head: "It is impossible to set a dead end in the game. It must be too late to try it all. Most likely, we have to use other ideas to unlock it..."

He thought for a while and guessed, "The lock on the lid of the box may be of a special style, such as a plum blossom keyhole or a cross hole, so that people can see the shape of the key at a glance."

Shen Yongle nodded, squinting at the key at the bottom of the box.

Mo Jue is also squinting, the water surface is full of foam and splashes stirred by Gu Qingyan's movements, but the part near the bottom is very calm.

It seems that for the convenience of the audience, a bracket is made of glass inside the water tank, which is slightly higher than the bottom surface. Below is a whole piece of cool light, which can clearly reflect the outline of the key.

Mo Jue quickly paused, and vetoed the guess just now: "No, all the keys look the same."

"Ah?" Shen Yongle almost wanted to lie on the wall of the water tank to look, "Impossible..."

On the stage, Gu Qingyan was still desperately trying to break free from the restraints. It seemed that he was a little hypoxic because he had been hanging upside down for too long, and his movements were obviously getting slower and slower...

Shen Yongle frowned tightly.

If the keys are all the same, you can probably only try one by one, but even if you start looking for keys as soon as you hit the water, when will you find so many keys? !

Is it really just luck?

It's not that there are no Aksha levels depending on luck, but this is the death threat triggered by the collapse of the human design. If it's just luck, it's a bit too unreasonable...

Wait...the key in the water?

Shen Yongle suddenly had a flash of inspiration - what is the name of the material that can become invisible in the water this afternoon? !

Gu Qingyan paused for a few seconds, and finally changed his method. Instead of trying to free his hands, he bent his knees desperately, trying to reach the knot on his feet with his hands to hang him upside down.

Probably because a person can unleash a certain potential at the moment of life and death, he really tore the knot loose, and the whole person fell into the water half a person's height with a "plop".

Even though Gu Qingyan was always careful, he still couldn't avoid choking on the water. Coupled with the lack of oxygen, his entire chest seemed to be on fire.

It was as if a very thin needle spread along his trachea, cutting countless slender wounds where it passed.

Probably because I was too nervous, the bullet screens were much less.

[Ahhh, I have been holding my breath! ]

[I'm so nervous I can't breathe! ]

Gu Qingyan calmed down, observed the keyhole on the top of his head for a moment, and quickly started groping in the water.

Shen Yongle was still thinking about how to remind him at first, but fortunately, he seemed to think of it soon, and began to focus on the place that seemed to be empty...

Time flies by every minute and every second.

Not only did the violent struggle consume a lot of physical strength just now, but the air in the box seemed to be getting thinner and thinner. Gu Qingyan dived several times while breathing, and choked on water several times during the period. His face was as pale as paper, and he could hardly stand up. Planted firmly in the water.

Fortunately, when the water surface was still [-] centimeters away from the top of the box, he finally paused, as if he had touched something in that "empty" place.

However, he soon realized that he was facing a bigger problem-his hands and feet were still tied together with a rope, and he could use his hands to fumble when he squatted down and dived into the water, but he couldn't raise his hands at all. The action of reaching the keyhole on the top of the head.

The water was up to his nose.

Gu Qingyan gasped and stood on tiptoe in the water tank, with his back leaning against the wall of the tank, he had to work hard to raise his chin to absorb the last oxygen...

Xie Xinyun's eyes were already red, and Sun Chenyu couldn't help standing up.

Mo Jue clenched his fists tightly, looked at the stage without blinking, and slammed his fist on the table.

How to do?

Shen Yongle desperately turned his head...

What is the solution?Is there any other way to save him? !

Shen Yongle, you can think of it!You have played so many games, watched so many horror movies and mystery novels, think again, there must be a way!There is another way...

Shen Yongle's eyes were red with anxiety, she almost wanted to jump up and circle around this small venue scratching her head.

Gu Qingyan's lips gradually turned blue, and he couldn't even stand still.

His fingers gradually lost strength, and the key that he had found so hard was about to slip off again, and he clenched it tightly again at the nick of time.

Shen Yongle hugged her head——

Ah ah ah ah ah! !

Shen Yongle, give me some strength! !

He suddenly stopped.

Shen Yongle seemed to be hit by some extraterrestrial gospel, almost rummaged through his pockets frantically with shaking hands, and took out his own character card... and that one, which once changed the rules of the world, but the downgrade did not disappear, it has become the last hope— —

"Aksha!"

Shen Yongle can't wait to kiss the card piously.

I beg you.
