Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

It is not allowed to go around Tara counterclockwise, and it is not allowed to go around Brega clockwise.

When they first saw these two prohibitions, anyone would feel incredible.

But when the ban is linked to the game of "throw the handkerchief", the situation is a little unusual.

The so-called handkerchief throwing is carried out by a group of people sitting together.One of them would run around them from behind them, and after choosing one, he would quietly throw the handkerchief behind that person.

The person who has lost the handkerchief finds that there is a handkerchief behind him, picks it up, and then chases the person who threw the handkerchief.

If the person throwing the handkerchief returns to his seat successfully without being caught up after going around the field, it is considered a pass; otherwise, once he is caught up, he is considered a loser and has to perform in public.

Correspondingly, if the person who is thrown the handkerchief finds that there is a handkerchief behind him and finds it late, or fails to catch up with the thrower in time, he should be counted as a loser.Then he would be the next to throw the handkerchief.

In this way, since there is a link of running circles around the crowd in the game, the restriction of counterclockwise or clockwise is necessary.

Among the NPCs, is there anyone called Tara or Brega?

If these two people exist at the same time, how to avoid the prohibition when they have to run laps?

Having reached this stage in the game, when all the players present heard the words "throwing the handkerchief", they undoubtedly immediately understood the danger, and they were all anxiously waiting for the answer from the proprietress—she would What's your name?Is it Tara, or Brega?

"My name is Dar."

The proprietress just smiled and said such a sentence, then got up and led everyone towards the square.

On the way, He Xiaowei chased after her and asked a lot of questions first, such as if she knew Tara, or did she know who Brega was?

But Dar didn't answer a word, just kept smiling and saying hello to the people passing by.

It seems that she is very popular here and is very popular with everyone.

When he walked out of the hotel, Zhou Qian took a special look at the statue made of three human heads, but he didn't notice any changes in the statue for the time being.One of the heads is still facing west.That is the direction where the sun sets, and it is also the direction where the hinterland of the village is located.

Tartar is leading everyone from the Tartar Hotel at the entrance of the village all the way west, heading for the village.During this period, Zhou Qian thought of something, so he deliberately turned his head and took a second look.

At first glance, Zhou Qian looked at the statues of the three heads.

When he first came to this dungeon, he remembered that the west-facing head was reddened by the sun, including the eyes inside, which were also glowing red with the setting sun.

But at this time, looking at it from this angle, the eyeballs of that head were actually faintly blue, so deep that the bottom could not be seen.It seems that there is a dark world hidden in its eyes.

Zhou Qian's second glance was at the glass on the second floor of the hotel.

When I checked in the inner room on the second floor before, I didn't find any abnormalities in the glass from the inside of the house.

But when you look at it from this angle at this time, you will find that the glass is actually blue.

The blue transparent glass was illuminated by the setting sun with a purple glow, radiant, somewhat crystal-like, and also slightly eerie.

The moment he withdrew his gaze, Zhou Qian already understood what was going on.

It's just that he didn't say anything for the time being, but just continued to move forward with the crowd.

After a while, everyone went deep into the village and came to the central square.

There are already many people sitting on the ground here, and they form a circle of sixteen people, forming a total of three complete circles; another eight people form a semi-circle, and they seem to be waiting for players.There are exactly eight players, and you can form a fourth circle with them after you sit down.

In the center of the square, there is a large pile of animal bones, mixed with straw and other things, and there are some beef, mutton, grains and other things next to it, which seem to be used for sacrifices.

The four circles formed by the villagers playing the game are exactly located in the four directions of the pile, the southeast, the north, and the west.

When the players arrived, a man who looked like a leader was pouring oil on the straw and bones.

The innkeeper's wife named Tar stepped forward first, and said hello to this person: "Village Chief, I have brought the people from the Kingdom of Silence. They will participate in the game together."

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work." The village head nodded to the proprietress, and then greeted everyone, "Hello, my name is Abu. Please take your seats first! The game is about to start!"

The village head is a 40-year-old man who looks like a wise man, as if he did not become the village head by qualifications or force, but by wisdom.

Zhou Qian sized up the village chief a few more times, and sat down with the others.

Of course Bai Zhou sat next to him.

After he sat down, Zhou Qian said to him through private chat props: "If you play this handkerchief throwing game outside, I will definitely throw it to you. Let you chase me."

Bai Zhou looked at him and smiled faintly. "good."

"Then you have to move faster. Otherwise, you won't be able to catch up."

"Well. It will be soon."

"How fast?"

"How fast do you want?"

"Well, anyway, it can't be too fast. If it's too fast, it won't be interesting. You have to run for a while."

"it is good."

"Look, Brother Zhou, your patience is good. You will ignore my boring questions."

"not boring."

"As long as you're with me, you're never bored, are you?"

"Yes."

"Sure enough. Am I an interesting person?"

"Well. Then Zhou Qian, you will feel—"

Is Bai Zhou worried that he will find him boring?

Before he could open his mouth, Zhou Qian had already replied: "Brother Zhou is also very interesting. Next time after turning into a dragon, you can play with your horns for me, and I will touch your tail."

Above the square, there was a lot of voices.

The two of them were having a secret conversation that no one knew about.

It doesn't matter whether the content of the conversation itself is nutritious or interesting.

For the two of them, it is actually rare enough to have such a long-lost reunion in another world, and to be able to say wanton and willful words like no one else.

After the two talked for a few words like this, the village head raised his voice to speak——

"Okay, everyone is here. Now I will explain this year's new rules to everyone!"

Standing next to the pile of bones, the village head explained the specific rules of the game to everyone.

The throwing of the handkerchief in the dungeon story is similar to what everyone usually recognizes.

It's just that the scope of the game is wider this time-it turns out that four circles, that is, a total of 64 people play a game together.

The person who has thrown the handkerchief, and the one who has been thrown the handkerchief, can run and chase in four large circles.

In addition to this, the difference is that the loser of each game will be deducted 2 points, instead of the "show" that everyone is familiar with in the real world, and the winner of the game will get 2 points .

At the end of the game, the scores of 64 people will be ranked from high to low, and they will be divided into two groups.

The group with higher scores is the winning group, and these 32 people can enjoy the right to go home and sleep.

As for the other 32 people, they need to hold a vigil at the arrangement of the village chief.

"The moment the sun sets completely is the moment when the 'non-existent time' arrives, and we will usher in an official holiday. Let's enjoy the game until the sun sets!"

The village head said: "So where should the game begin... Let us decide by rock-paper-scissors!"

Under the arrangement of the village head, the first thing to do was a boxing match with 16 people in each group.One winner will be selected from every 16 people.Four 16-person circles will produce four winners, and finally they will have the final duel.

Of course, even if 16 people in the circle are guessing at the same time, there is a high probability that rocks, scissors, and cloth will appear at the same time. In order to save time, the village chief asked them to be divided into four groups to achieve the effect of layer-by-layer selection.

Zhou Qian and his group of 16 people were divided into four groups, with four people in each group.Among them, NPCs play boxing games with NPCs, and players play with players.

During boxing guessing, He Xiaowei, Zhou Qian, Yin Jiujiu and Yun Xiangrong were in a group.

He Xiaowei really didn't understand the situation of these two girls. He turned his head and saw that those NPCs were some distance away from him, so he whispered to them alone: ​​"Let's not fight each other here. We try our best to win, and we all win." Score, then, if there is a winner among us, we must never throw handkerchiefs at each other.

"What we have to do is to work together to defeat the NPC! If an NPC throws a handkerchief behind our players, we must quickly remind each other to avoid being caught up by him. In this way, our score will be the highest!"

Yun Xiangrong glanced at him, and said: "Have you ever thought that if you keep watch outside, you don't have to spend the night in the house. Then, the problem of which room to live in tonight will be easily solved."

"Eh?" He Xiaowei was stunned for three seconds, and hurriedly said, "You can't say that. What if the vigil is dangerous? We still don't know what the non-existent time means!

"About the meaning of Samhain Festival, Qian'er, who is well-read and knowledgeable, has said that it is the day when the Yin and Yang worlds intersect. There must be ghosts coming at night! In the house, the fireplace can drive away ghosts. What should we do outside? ?”

On the side, Yin Jiujiu thought for a while, and said, "The information we have now is indeed too little. Let's take a step at a time. But I think what Yun Xiangrong said actually makes sense. There are a total of 32 people who want to watch the night, and there are What about so many villagers? The village chief wouldn’t send so many people to death, would he?”

He Xiaowei thought about it, but he had no idea, and looked at Zhou Qian as if asking for help. "Qian'er, I think what the two of them said seems to make sense. Then in this game, should we win points or lose? I'm just pointing at you."

Who would have thought that when he turned his head, he saw Zhou Qian asking Bai Zhou, who was in the next group who was guessing, "So, if I make scissors, will you make cloth?"

He Xiaowei: "..."

Bai Zhou really came out with a cloth.

Then he lost.

He Xiaowei: "..."

After a long while, he felt a pair of burning eyes behind his head, and when Zhou Qian turned his head, he saw He Xiaowei.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhou Qian asked him.

I just heard him say: "This common saying is good, a hero is sad than a beauty. Now I want to send this sentence to that god-level boss. I never thought, Qianer, you would say this The 'beauty' in the words."

Zhou Qian: "..."

After 3 minutes, Zhou Qian and his circle of 16 players quickly ended the boxing match.

The winner was actually He Xiaowei.

The next three laps also ended at about the same time, and three winners were selected, all of them NPCs.

Under the auspices of the village chief, He Xiaowei is about to step forward to start the final match of finger-guessing with the three of them.

Before going on the field, he asked Zhou Qian very worriedly: "Qian'er, I feel something is wrong. If you want to win, I'm afraid we won't be able to guess you. I don't understand the twists and turns in gambling, and I don't understand you. How did you do it. But boxing is also a kind of gambling, right? Who are you? You are the king of gambling! How could you lose?"

"It's too much, it's not enough." Zhou Qian said.

"You lost, you let your family lose too, is it really, really okay?" He Xiaowei asked, "Wait for a while, think if it's better to lose? If I win and I have to throw the handkerchief, I will lose the handkerchief again." Who should I throw it to first?"

Zhou Qian patted him on the shoulder. "Relax and play games casually. As for tonight...for the time being, just prepare enough salt."

"...Salt?" He Xiaowei was surprised, "What do you mean?"

"Yes. Salt. Sodium chloride." Zhou Qian whispered to him, "If you have a chance, go to the kitchen and steal more. It will be useful."
