Hurry up and make money, or you will be banned!

The cruel broadcast ended, and the six surviving players fell silent for a moment.

Immediately, it exploded.

"What's going on?" The surviving girl on the second floor couldn't believe it. "Didn't it mean that the E-level dungeon is 12 hours long without special notes?"

The screaming chicken man also muttered: "It's only been more than two hours now, why is the mall closing?"

The rookies tried to find support in the eyes of their seniors, but Jacket and Sister Ying were also speechless for a while.

According to the blood and lives of countless "Nineteenth Floor" old players, the "Nineteenth Floor" E-level dungeon, as long as there is no special mark on the task panel, has a time limit of 12 hours.

However, once it is a matter of themselves, even veteran players dare not continue to guarantee the correctness of this setting.

Finally, Sister Ying broke the dead silence: "The investigation of the three floors has been completed. Let's sort out the clues first, and it's not too late to discuss."

"But, it's only half an hour!" The girl was visibly panicked, "Half an hour is enough for what to do, it's not enough to go around three floors, this place is so big!"

The jacket yelled angrily: "Why panic! The broadcast only said that the mall will be locked after half an hour to ensure safety, but it didn't say that the dungeon is over. In my opinion, it is probably like other dungeons, the setting of the world inside and outside. Before closing the door It’s the outer world, and the inner world after closing the door is nothing more than the difference in the degree of danger. Now the outer world is definitely safe, and if we don’t exchange clues now, it’s even more useless to enter the inner world!”

What he said made sense, and the players calmed down a lot.

But... thinking about it rationally, in the first two hours of the game, 12 of the 6 players lost.If it is really the setting of the inner and outer world, the outer world is so dangerous, can the inner world still make people live?

This is just an E-level dungeon. A low level means that the danger is low, and it also means that the players who are matched into it are all at the corresponding level-the "Nineteenth Floor" will not give people a way to survive.

The players were confused by the contradictory settings. Under the strong advocacy of Jacket and Sister Ying, they stopped thinking about the time issue and began to exchange the information they found.

The surviving girl on the second floor was named Jiang Qingrong, and she took out a stack of discount coupons.She didn't hide her secrets: "It was found by another girl. She wanted to take it all for herself. The four of us fought, and two of us died. It was also a blessing in disguise, and we discovered the death rules of the NPC 'Zhang Wensheng'."

There are more than a dozen discount coupons, and each player draws a few and examines them carefully.

打折券的面值均是60元，满199元可以使用，且可以叠加；使用日期是2011年6月8日到6月23日。花花绿绿的铜版纸的右下角，印着“广成市人民政府”的红色大头章。

"The purchase coupons issued by the government are used to stimulate consumption," the jacket concluded. "For our mission...I personally feel that it is useless. Has anyone else found anything?"

The clue of sacrificing the lives of three people was lightly rejected, Jiang Qingrong lowered her head, put the consumer coupons that others had put away in her arms, and couldn't help sobbing.

"Don't cry," Sister Ying glanced at her indifferently, "Crying is useless, it will bring you death."

Jiang Qingrong pursed her lips tightly: "I know...thank you, Sister Ying."

The two screaming chickens who survived on the basement floor said one after another: "...We found the reason for the sudden start of the elevator! The elevator switch on the basement floor is on the wall next to the handrail. Someone must have deliberately opened."

Jiang Qingrong's eyes moved: "Theoretically, this type of brake switch should be hidden by a protective cover and locked to prevent customers from accidentally touching it, causing casualties and unnecessary trouble."

She asked Screaming Chicken: "Aside from this, is there anything else you care about on the basement floor?"

The two screaming chickens were frightened before, and their words didn't match up, so they finally held back a sentence: "It feels like the basement floor has just been built not long ago... The corners of the walls are very rough, and there is cement dust on the ground. a lot of."

Regarding this point, Jacket and Sister Ying also have impressions.

The ground floor of the basement is concrete, without tiles, and the walls are only whitewashed, without wallpaper or paint—such a decoration is obviously unqualified for a large shopping mall.

"I don't know if you have read the navigation bar carefully. The navigation bar only prints the introduction of the first floor and the second floor, and does not mention the basement." Sister Ying said, "And we noticed that there is a basement because of a There are stairs leading to the ground floor."

"Just built?" Jiang Qingrong murmured, "No, the first and second floors have obviously been in operation for a long time, and it is impossible to build a basement floor on this basis... It should have been useless, so there is no decoration."

For dungeon players, any small detail may be a clue and cannot be let go.Not to mention the stairs leading to the basement floor without any means of "covering".

Therefore, when seeing the stairs leading to the first basement, players naturally regard the first basement as a normal part of the map.

Miss Ying's heart skipped a beat.

She suppressed her uneasiness and said, "If it's not necessary, let's not enter the basement level for the time being. I feel about that place... very bad."

Among the six people, only Jiang Qingrong who explored the second floor had never been to the basement floor.But from the description in the mouth of the screaming chicken, one can imagine the horror scene on the basement floor.If it is not forced, no one will take the initiative to go.

Jacket said that he has visited almost every corner of the mall.He noticed that the consumption of goods in the food section was unexpectedly lower than that of daily necessities.

"Under normal circumstances, the consumption of the food area must be the largest. If it is the background of the end of the world, the food area and the daily necessities area will be looted. I can't think of the reason for this."

Finally, everyone's eyes focused on the last person.

The young man who was tied up with a prop rope by the jacket and was forcibly thrown to the basement floor to explore the way, when he introduced himself at the beginning, he said that his name was Liu Haiyang.

After being tied with a rope, Liu Haiyang knew that he was trying his best to find the way, and he tore his face with everyone, saying that if he came back alive, he would fight for his life with others.But halfway through the rope, Liu Haiyang suddenly became quiet.Not only that, Liu Haiyang, who survived and returned, seemed to be a different person, quiet and obedient, doing whatever the jacket asked him to do.

It's just that the smile on his face... makes people look very uncomfortable.If I had to say it, I couldn't tell what made it uncomfortable, Jiang Qingrong thought indiscriminately, it was a bit like the clay doll she was afraid of when she was a child.

Even though five people were staring at him, Liu Haiyang's weird smile remained unchanged.

The jacket broke the embarrassment: "Xiao Liu... did you find anything on the basement floor?"

Liu Haiyang shook his head: "No."

"Really?" Sister Ying narrowed her eyes. "Brother Wang did something wrong before. I apologize to you on his behalf. But any clues may help us complete the task. Don't lose sight of the overall situation because of your anger."

Liu Haiyang showed an apologetic expression: "I'm not angry, I really don't know anything."

Jiang Qingrong had just escaped from the second floor to join the others, so she didn't know about the previous conflict between Liu Haiyang and the others.She couldn't help but said: "Why are you like this, we are all partners, what is there to hide?"

Liu Haiyang stared at her for a while, Jiang Qingrong noticed that something seemed to move in his pupils.

Thin and small, flashed by.

She couldn't help but take a step forward: "Your eyes...?"

But upon closer inspection, it seemed to be just an illusion.Jiang Qingrong comforted herself, it should be the reflection of the flickering lights of the broken shopping mall.Then she noticed that Liu Haiyang was gesturing to her in the blind spot of other people's vision.

[Private chat later. 】

Jiang Qing was taken aback.She has experienced three dungeons, and she has also seen that players will temporarily form cliques when there is a grievance among the players, so she understands it in her heart, shuts her mouth, and does not target Liu Haiyang again.

It was just a round of communication clues, and there was no progress in the progress of the task.Seeing the time go by every minute and every second, the players couldn't help muttering together in twos and threes.

Seeing Sister Ying pulling the jacket and going to the corner for a private chat, Jiang Qingrong took the opportunity to follow Liu Haiyang's leaving footsteps.

Liu Haiyang stopped behind a large shelf of hygiene products.

Jiang Qingrong couldn't help but said, "Did you have something to do with me?... You didn't say it just now, did you find an important clue?"

Liu Haiyang spoke slowly: "I want to hear your opinion first, do you have a clue about the main mission?"

Jiang Qingrong felt that Liu Haiyang was testing whether he was qualified to be a teammate.

She didn't think about it, and said directly: "I have a clue. The mission requires us to find [the most precious item]. Since it is an E-level copy, Brother Wang (the jacket) analyzed that it will not be particularly circled. It is probably 'survival' '+'Looking for things'. But according to Wang Ge's thinking, we took all kinds of goods, and no one passed the level, so it must not be 'precious' in the literal sense."

Seeing Liu Haiyang nod approvingly, Jiang Qingrong continued: "I have been to a dungeon that is also E-level before. It looks very simple on the surface, but in fact it is necessary to analyze the background story to understand the meaning of the main mission."

"Then what do you think is the background story this time?"

"You see, there is blood everywhere. There must have been a mass 'killing'. The basement level is full of corpses, which should be a morgue. So, the reason for the mass killing, and why the corpses are parked at Seventy The basement floor of a shopping mall, if you solve these two points, the answer should come out. Also, before the NPC kept asking us 'Have you seen my eyeballs?', maybe the NPC will give us some clues if we find the props prompted by the mission."

Liu Haiyang couldn't help but applaud her: "You are so good, you have exactly the same idea as me."

"So, can you tell me what important clues you found in the basement?"

Liu Haiyang showed a big smile.The corners of his mouth were raised high, but there was no smile in his eyes, which inexplicably made Jiang Qingrong's back feel cold.

"They're all lying to you," he said. "You just have to go to the basement and see for yourself...you'll understand."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Qingrong was taken aback, "They are all lying to me? What are they lying to me?"

Liu Haishen shook his head mysteriously, and stopped talking.Before Jiang Qingrong could ask more, she heard a series of anxious footsteps, and when she turned around, it turned out to be Sister Ying.

For some reason, Sister Ying was extremely alert, holding a whip-like weapon in one hand, she shouted sharply: "Xiao Jiang! Come here, stay away from him!"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Qing didn't move, "Is there anything you can do for me?"

Without saying a word, Sister Ying rushed forward in three steps at a time, grabbed Jiang Qingrong's wrist, and pulled her away involuntarily.

Jiang Qingrong was dragged away for several steps without knowing it, before she began to struggle: "Sister Ying, what are you doing? What happened all of a sudden!"

Sister Ying was expressionless: "Stay away from him, if you can, don't have any contact."

Just now, Liu Haiyang had already told Jiang Qingrong how the jacket threw him to the ground floor to step on thunder.Jiang Qingrong brought herself into the disadvantaged group, and at this moment, her trust in the old players fell to the bottom.She forcibly broke away from Miss Ying: "Do you have anything else to do with me?"

"you……"

Jiang Qingrong sneered: "Are you going to take me to the basement floor to find the way for you?"

Sister Ying couldn't react to what Liu Haiyang and Jiang Qingrong said.She knew it would be useless to talk too much, so she didn't try to explain anymore.

Before leaving, she left her last words: "Don't go to the basement. We are hopeless...you may still be there."

Jiang Qingrong didn't know if she had listened to Sister Ying's words, her eyes were fixed on the direction of the stairs on the first floor, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

-

Half an hour passed.

At the last moment when the second hand passed, all the lights were turned off, and the hum of the exhaust fan disappeared. Finally, the deadly [-] shopping mall entered a carnival of darkness.

In the darkness, Liu Haiyang's eyes flickered strangely.He gently picked up the bloody eyeball in his pocket, and while the others were in confusion, he dodged into the broadcasting room.

-

10 minutes ago.

"Really!"

Xuelu manipulated the cash register system, and found what she wanted in the interface where the "Settings" button was hidden deep.

551 quickly helped him call Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang was holding a wrench, as if he had dismantled something violently, and came back wiping his sweat: "Are you sure it works?"

"Probably." Xuelu continued to look through the functions in the cash register system, and stepped aside to let Uncle Zhang take a look.

Emergency alarms, emergency fire calls, emergency activation of firewalls, manual application of sprinklers.

And their goal "Emergency Power Off".

In the whole shopping mall, the staff room may be empty, the manager’s office may be empty, but the cash register will not be empty, so as Uncle Zhang expected, some emergency functions are hidden in the cash register system to prevent emergencies. Unprepared.

Waiting until the last second of half an hour, Uncle Zhang pressed the "emergency power off" button in the cash register system.

The moment the message "Power off successfully" popped up on the screen, all the lights in the mall went out, and Xuelu heaved a sigh of relief.

Feeling that the system could not be used, his hand accidentally abducted a small cabinet of the cash register.

"Huh...is this?"

In the small cabinet, among the mess of sundries, lay a strangely shaped key quietly.On the handle, there is a yellowing label paper.

"Staff lounge?"

Xuelu looked at Uncle Zhang begging for help: "Uncle Zhang, do you still remember the hidden door in the radio room that couldn't be opened? Could it be there?"

"It's possible." Uncle Zhang thought, "Although the key is hidden in the cash register, it's not locked... In theory, it's possible for the player to get it. This should be a key clue! Xiaoxue, well done !"

After receiving the compliment, Xuelu smiled embarrassedly: "Hey, it's all because of Uncle Zhang's good teaching."

551 burst into tears: "It's my master who easily found something that others couldn't find, Master Sasuga!"

The shopping mall fell into darkness, and the players were on high alert. They used shelves to build a defense system for themselves. Those with equipment were equipped with anti-equipment, while those without equipment were carrying mops.Uncle Zhang said that he was going to take advantage of the player's unresponsiveness to be tricked into making trouble, and by the way, look for the eyeball who died before the master died.Xuelu took the opportunity to search for the hidden door in the broadcasting room.

Just the moment he stepped into the broadcasting room, a hand stretched out in the darkness, and ruthlessly pushed Xuelu down to the ground!
