deadly round table

Jiang Wenyuan trusted Lu Yu very much, but the three-story old bungalow involved the truth of the game world in this round. To be cautious, he asked one more question: "Our current location should be the center of the path, and the three-story old bungalow is the distance from the center. More than two kilometers away, we are standing in the position of the normal temperature tree, and we should not be able to see the three-story old bungalow with the naked eye. Is what you see a real three-story old bungalow, or a mirage?"

With Jiang Wenyuan's reminder, Lu Yu also understood that he was impatient because he didn't have an NPC game, and some things should not be said by him.

Lu Yu no longer mentioned that he knew the truth of this round of the game, but explained to Jiang Wenyuan: "The environment and climate of this world do not meet the conditions for forming a mirage, but it is undeniable that there are indeed false phenomena in this world. First, We saw two old bungalows at both ends of the path; second, after entering the four-story old bungalow, no matter how long we walked along the path or in the forest, we could not find the opposite three-story old bungalow; Now we are standing in the position of the normal temperature tree, not only can we see the three-story old bungalow, but also the four-story old bungalow on our side! Among these three pieces of information that contradict each other, there must be false information in it.”

"Not just a three-story old bungalow, you also saw a four-story old bungalow?!" Jiang Wenyuan pondered for a while, "Then describe what the two old bungalows you saw looked like."

Lu Yu’s point of view is not the old bungalow itself, but the path connecting the two old bungalows, “From our position to the four-story old bungalow, we can completely see the stone steps connecting the path to the gate of the four-story old bungalow. It is only about 200 meters away, and the distance between the three-storey old bungalow and the center of the path is about the same. It is the same as the result we measured by walking the entire path for the first time. The two old bungalows are basically symmetrical about the center of the path. The distance between the old bungalow and the path The border was clear, so I ruled out the possibility of a mirage with a high degree of certainty."

Jiang Wenyuan didn't continue to follow Lu Yu's words, but asked him another completely unrelated question, "Every time you finish your solo search outside, how do you come back? The key point is that you got stains on your arms. What happened after the acid."

According to Jiang Wenyuan's request, Lu Yu answered briefly and in detail: "Before my arms were stained with acid, I would choose a different route when I returned to the old bungalow. Fruits or small animals. After my arm was injured, I was not so calm. I was injured last night when I was catching grass chickens. The location where I caught grass chickens was relatively close to the path, so I ran to the path immediately , ran back to the four-story old bungalow as fast as possible. This morning I walked the whole way through the forest to find the way to the three-story old bungalow. Because I stayed in the rain for too long, my wound was a little uncomfortable, so I went back to the four-story old bungalow. When I was in the bungalow, I put my arms on my chest and ran back, running faster than last night."

"Put your injured arm under the umbrella so it doesn't get caught in the rain." Jiang Wenyuan was silent for a while, then tilted the umbrella completely to Lu Yu's side. He took out a small monocular telescope and handed it to Lu Yu.

After Lu Yu took over the monocular, Jiang Wenyuan said: "Since you can clearly see that the small road borders the old bungalow, it proves that the two old bungalows are not visual illusions that affect the eyes. However, it cannot be completely ruled out that they are direct For the illusion that the brain works, because each player’s actions are different, this type of illusion cannot unify everyone’s perception of all the details. Let’s talk about the four-story old bungalow we just arrived at and the four-story old bungalow we just arrived at. The difference, if you can say what I want, then I admit that the two old bungalows you see now are not hallucinations."

Jiang Wenyuan's words actually set the boundaries for Lu Yu.The difference between him and Jiang Wenyuan's perception of the old bungalow appeared when they acted separately.When Jiang Wenyuan left the old house alone, his range of activities was probably concentrated in the lobby, master bedroom and kitchen on the first floor.

Lu Yu adjusted the focal length of the telescope and focused on observing these three places. After a while, he put down the telescope, "I found the difference. The kitchen window was originally intact, but now a window is broken. My Is the answer correct?"

Jiang Wenyuan nodded slightly, affirming Lu Yu's answer.

The kitchen window, which he had broken himself this morning before he baked sticks and canes in the kitchen.Jiang Wenyuan trusted Lu Yu, but he would not blindly trust others. Even though Xu Zhou behaved very harmlessly, Jiang Wenyuan still guarded against him.Because Jiang Wenyuan couldn't see, in order to prevent Xu Zhou from turning the kitchen into a closed space and poisoning him with carbon monoxide, he personally broke a piece of glass in the window to ensure that the kitchen was well ventilated.

The kitchen window was the old-fashioned two-window that opened outwards, and it was broken when Lu Yu left this morning.Lu Yu came back from the search this morning. Because of the unbearable pain from the wound on his arm, he would not pay attention to the window at all.So Lu Yu could tell that the kitchen window was broken, and Jiang Wenyuan believed that what he saw was not an illusion, but a real four-story old house.In the same way, the three-story old bungalow on the other side should not be an illusion.

Jiang Wenyuan frowned, "The distance between the two old bungalows is shortening! We can't reach the third-story old bungalow, and we can't see the players from the third-floor old bungalow coming to look for us. The two groups of players are separated by an invisible barrier. Isolated, unable to reach the old foreign-style house opposite. The blood words 'run away' on the wall of the four-story old foreign-style house..."

Jiang Wenyuan felt that he was also close to the truth of this world.

Continuous rainfall, constant high temperature, two symmetrical white old bungalows with ever-compressing distance, and a large area of ​​high-temperature forest.There is corrosive acid in the forest, and the two old bungalows and the things in the old bungalow will not be corroded by acid.

Jiang Wenyuan originally suspected that the high temperature forest might be the back of some huge monster, but now, he has a new perspective. The game world of this round is still a part of the huge monster, but this part is not the monster's back.Jiang Wenyuan said softly to Lu Yu, "Are we in the mouth of a monster?"

Lu Yu replied seriously: "It's very possible."

The abnormally high temperature is the body temperature of a monster.

The constant rain is the saliva of monsters.

The forest full of hot trees is the monster's mouth.

The two white old bungalows are the upper and lower rows of teeth of monsters, that's why Jiang Wenyuan didn't think the old bungalows were a place for people to live in.

Now the distance between the two old bungalows is shortened because the monster is slowly closing its mouth. The players in the two old bungalows are the food that is about to be swallowed by the monster.In order to prevent the food from escaping, the monster separated the players separated by two old bungalows to prevent the players from realizing their situation!

Jiang Wenyuan felt that the truth was too terrifying. The monsters regarded them as food, and it was impossible to let them go.But they were in the monster's mouth, and they could escape there.

Jiang Wenyuan took out the red ivy fruit in his bag, and finally struggled: "If the old white house is really the monster's teeth, then the ivy is the monster's teeth. What would be in the teeth?"

After taking a deep breath, Jiang Wenyuan stuffed the red fruit into his mouth, and lightly bit off a piece. The soft texture didn't feel like eating fruit at all, but more like eating a piece of meat. No wonder Xu Zhou said that the ivy fruit is red Yes, no wonder the red fruit has no core.The monster disguised its teeth as an old bungalow where humans lived, and its prey was of course humans, so it goes without saying what kind of meat this piece is.

Jiang Wenyuan spat out the pulp in his mouth, and stuffed the red fruit back into his carry-on bag, "This monster has a very special body structure, it has no tongue, but its stomach and mouth are very close, so there will be a The player is corroded by its gastric juice. Where we are now, the temperature is obviously lower than that of the high-temperature forest. This may be the corner of the monster's mouth. Let's first determine how many normal-temperature trees there are in this area. This is our last line of defense. "

Jiang Wenyuan and Lu Yu held the same umbrella, and began to circle around the normal temperature tree whose branches had been cut off to confirm the number of normal temperature trees.Neither of them mentioned the players in the four-story old bungalow. Those players were tricked by the monster, thinking that the hot forest outside was dangerous, and only the old bungalow was safe.

As long as they explore the length of the path a few more times, or are willing to stand up and look for the normal temperature tree with them, they may still have a chance to escape.But they didn't do anything, they would rather feed their hunger with leaves and bark, stay in the old bungalow, expecting others to clear the game and take them away from the round table game.There is only one dead end waiting for them now.

It's not that Jiang Wenyuan refuses to save him.He has only one doll that can guide the way.Even if Lu Yuqiang wrote down the route from the old bungalow to the normal temperature tree, there is no guarantee that this route will always remain the same.Jiang Wenyuan was just helpless...

The two walked around until they came into contact with the high-temperature tree, and then immediately retreated to the normal-temperature tree area.The room temperature tree area is not large, there are only 32 trees in total.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and Jiang Wenyuan was afraid that Lu Yu would get lost in the forest looking for food, so he was not allowed to look for food.The two snuggled together, holding an umbrella and sitting under a normal temperature tree on the outermost edge.After all, the umbrella surface of a folding umbrella is limited. If two big men share an umbrella, they will inevitably get wet.Although the body is uncomfortable and the stomach is very hungry, but being able to snuggle up with Lu Yu quietly, the feeling is not so annoying.

The two waited for about half an hour, Jiang Wenyuan straightened his waist, "Lu Yu, get up quickly, this normal temperature tree is getting hot!"

Lu Yu was a little confused, he touched the tree trunk, "It's not hot."

Jiang Wenyuan stretched out his hand along Lu Yu's shoulder to touch his cheek, his hand was hot, and Lu Yu had a fever.

Lu Yu is not an iron man. He has been exploring the map with high intensity for three days, which has exhausted his physical strength, and his arms are still stained with the monster's gastric juice. After cutting off the bad meat, the wound is repeatedly eroded by the monster's saliva rain.It is already a very incredible thing that Lu Yu can persist until now before getting sick.

Jiang Wenyuan helped Lu Yu stand up, he couldn't help coughing twice, and his voice became hoarse, "The lights of the two old bungalows are much closer than when it was just dark. My body temperature is too high now, and I don't feel well." When it comes to changes in tree temperature, although your eyes are inconvenient, it still depends on you to judge the safe area.”

Lu Yu's body may have been extremely uncomfortable, but he insisted on checking with Jiang Wenyuan the outermost normal-temperature trees again. The original 32 normal-temperature trees were reduced by six, leaving only 26 trees.

According to the rate at which the normal temperature tree is declining sharply, it may not even wait until the fourth day of the game before the monster's mouth will be completely closed.Lu Yu accumulated too much exhaustion in three days, and fell ill like a mountain. He wanted to monitor the distance between the two old bungalows all the time, but it was difficult for him to even stay awake.

Regardless of Lu Yu's objection, Jiang Wenyuan carried him to one of the trees in the center of the normal temperature tree area. He asked Lu Yu to sit under the tree and left the umbrella for Lu Yu.Jiang Wenyuan took out a climbing rope from his bag, tied a strong knot on the trunk above Lu Yu's head, and then walked towards the outside with a cane. Make a circle around the trunk, and then continue to walk towards the periphery. After wrapping around four normal temperature trees in a row, you will reach the outermost part of the normal temperature tree area.

Jiang Wenyuan stood under the outermost normal-temperature tree, leaning on a cane in his right hand, sticking his left palm on the trunk, and putting the remaining climbing rope around the bend of his left arm, quietly watching the changes of the normal-temperature tree in the rain, and also guarding the tree trunk. Lu Yu was burning in a daze.

The alarm clock rang for the seventh time every 10 minutes, and the temperature of the normal temperature tree guarded by Jiang Wenyuan gradually increased, and their safe zone was compressed again.Jiang Wenyuan didn't disturb Lu Yu, and retreated a tree's distance to the safe area along the direction of the climbing rope.

Jiang Wenyuan didn't expect the temperature of the normal temperature tree to heat up so quickly for the third time, but within 10 minutes, the temperature of the normal temperature tree under his palm heated up extremely fast.The safe area is compressed from the periphery to the inside in a circular area. In the current safe area, only the tree where Lu Yu is and a few trees around him are left.

Jiang Wenyuan didn't know when the next rise in temperature would come, and the nature of the rainwater also changed slightly. Although the skin exposed to the rainwater was not corroded, it still felt slight pain.

Jiang Wenyuan didn't care about letting Lu Yu rest, he returned to Lu Yu's side along the climbing rope, and shook Lu Yu's shoulder vigorously, "Wake up, we are in danger now!"

Under Jiang Wenyuan's persevering call, Lu Yu struggled to overcome the discomfort in his body, and stood up staggeringly. He put most of his body weight on Jiang Wenyuan's body, and breathed hot breath into Jiang Wenyuan's ear. "Thank you for helping me watch the changes in the normal temperature tree. I took a break and felt much better."

Jiang Wenyuan believed it was his fault, Lu Yu's body temperature was hotter than what he felt just now, but the patient needs to be considerate, so Jiang Wenyuan didn't argue with him, "You're welcome, how far is the distance between the two old houses?"

It was already late at night, and the candles in the two old bungalows were all extinguished. Lu Yu took out a strong flashlight, and after looking at both sides, he said to Jiang Wenyuan: "There are still 80 meters. It will be over soon."

Jiang Wenyuan bore most of Lu Yu's weight, and he patted Lu Yu's back comfortingly, "If you feel uncomfortable, rest for a while, I want to check the number of normal temperature trees again. Ordinary rain is now like acid rain Transformation, I don’t know if this huge monster has the same characteristics as a frog, it can turn its entire stomach inside out, in case it spits out all the stomach acid, we must confirm the safest place.”

Lu Yu embraced Jiang Wenyuan, refusing to move, "No, I know where the safe place is, the place next to the center of the two old bungalows, which is where we are standing now, there is no need to leave."

The fourth time, the normal temperature tree heated up very quickly. In 5 minutes, the safe area was compressed to only the normal temperature tree where Jiang Wenyuan and Lu Yu were standing.Lu Yu calmly said, "There are still ten meters left!"

After reporting the locations of the two old bungalows, Lu Yu slightly distanced himself from Jiang Wenyuan, "Climb up the tree."

Jiang Wenyuan said worriedly, "What about you?"

"Of course I will climb up with you. Although these trees are not strong, they can withstand high temperatures. They are very strong." After Lu Yu helped Jiang Wenyuan climb up the tree, he also climbed up.

As soon as the two climbed up the tree, the two old bungalows collided violently, and even the nearby forest was affected, shaking violently like an eight-magnitude earthquake.

Jiang Wenyuan couldn't see, so he didn't know what kind of scene it was. He could only firmly hold on to the branches of the normal temperature tree.The branches slowly warmed up in Jiang Wenyuan's palm. If even the last normal-temperature tree fell, how could it be safe?

"Chen Mian, come here!" Lu Yu threw away the umbrella, hugged Jiang Wenyuan's waist and legs, and picked him up. Cooperating with the ground's tremor from bottom to top, he lowered his waist and gathered momentum, and threw Jiang Wenyuan diagonally upwards. .

When the monster's mouth is about to close completely, the cloud-like film covering the monster's mouth will be broken. If you want to escape the fate of being swallowed, you only have this chance to escape.The room-temperature tree that was finally exposed to the high temperature was the closest to the corner of the monster's mouth, and it was only one meter high from the crown of the tree.But Jiang Wenyuan's eyesight was inconvenient, and the time he could use to escape was too short, not enough for the two of them to crawl out of the monster's lips.From the very beginning, Lu Yu decided to sacrifice himself for Jiang Wenyuan's life.

However, Lu Yu never expected that when he threw Jiang Wenyuan upwards, his eyes blurred and his body flew into the air. Amidst the doll's fluorescent lights, he fell into Jiang Wenyuan's arms out of thin air, and fell into the monster's closed body outside the mouth.

In the terrifying swallowing sound of the monster, those players who failed to escape from the monster's mouth were all killed, and no one was spared.

Jiang Wenyuan hugged Lu Yu vigorously, and whispered softly in his ear: "Lu Yu, who do you think I am? As long as I am willing to think, even if I cannot see, I can still understand what you are thinking. You Feel the same thing, am I going to let it happen a second time?"

Jiang Wenyuan felt that something was wrong from the moment Lu Yu hugged him sticky under the normal temperature tree.Lu Yu has always been very restrained in the game. Jiang Wenyuan didn't believe that he would become weak because of illness. Something must have happened to Lu Yu to behave like this.

When the normal temperature tree area continued to shrink, Jiang Wenyuan made it very clear that this safe area was not a real safe area, and they were still in the monster's mouth.But Lu Yu never mentioned how to get out of the monster's mouth. He must have seen something but didn't tell him.Thinking of Lu Yu clinging to him, Jiang Wenyuan figured it out. Lu Yu wanted to sacrifice himself to save him.But Lu Yu himself was not sure what would happen if he died in the round table game again.

Fortunately, Jiang Wenyuan's little boy doll, function: get back anything you lost (only things lost in games using dolls).

Jiang Wenyuan turned over and pressed Lu Yu under him, and straddled Lu Yu's body, "Lu Yu, let me tell you. In this game world, you don't have to trust anyone, but you must trust me! This is not a request, nor is it a request. Not an order, I'm just stating objective facts."

Lu Yu stared at Jiang Wenyuan. Even though Jiang Wenyuan's eyesight was taken away, he still felt the light in Jiang Wenyuan's eyes was so dazzling that it hurt his eyes and made him want to cry.This is the person he loves, and it is precisely because of this that he hopes that Jiang Wenyuan can quit the game and stay away from the pain that he should not have to bear.

Lu Yu didn't respond to Jiang Wenyuan's words, "It's time for us to leave the game, my body needs timely treatment."

He held Jiang Wenyuan's wrist and led him to touch a soft object with his hand.

Jiang Wenyuan couldn't see the scene change, but he knew from the sudden drop in temperature that he had returned to the round table space. He reached out to touch the tray in front of him and touched the functional crystal.The crystal shattered, and Jiang Wenyuan finally regained his lost vision.

Originally there were 28 huge round tables with [-] chairs, but now there are only three left.

One is where Jiang Wenyuan is sitting, the other is for Lu Yu, and the other is for an empty seat that was originally vacant.

No NPC round table games are already so difficult.Jiang Wenyuan couldn't imagine how difficult the game would be when the round table was full of people.Having just experienced a physically and mentally exhausting game, Jiang Wenyuan really didn't want to choose to continue the next round of the game. He really didn't know what kind of willpower Chen Mian relied on to persist in the game round after round.

Jiang Wenyuan clicked on the option to rest, and returned to reality in a blink of an eye.After being exposed to acid rain in the game world for a long time, now his skin is sore all over his body, he really doesn't have the heart to deal with the work assigned to him by Zuo Zhiyan.

Just as Jiang Wenyuan walked out of the game preparation room with the sheep doll in his arms, he saw Shan Xiaoran walking back and forth at his door.

Shan Xiaoran saw Jiang Wenyuan coming out with the doll, he was stunned for a while, and then said pleasantly: "You came back from the game and got the doll, that's great!"

"Thank you." Jiang Wenyuan smiled, "Is there anything you can do with me? Is the schedule I gave you not going well?"

Shan Xiaoran shook his head, "No. You brought a spare mobile phone into the game, and Yongqian called your regular mobile phone in real life. If you didn't answer it, he would call me and ask me to tell you. Give him a call as soon as you are free. call back."

Jiang Wenyuan thought that Yongqian deliberately took the opportunity of not being able to get through his phone to make friends with Shan Xiaoran, and he rolled up the sleeves of his sweater to show Shan Xiaoran his reddened skin from the acid rain, "I'll go to the hospital first. Call him back while you take a shower and do a skin check."

Shan Xiaoran stopped Jiang Wenyuan, "No, Jiang Wenyuan, I wasn't joking with you. Yongqian's attitude was very serious. I asked him what was the matter, but he refused to tell me. I said I was afraid that the message would not be clear, and he Just replied, it’s about C.”

Jiang Wenyuan immediately turned around and returned to his room, picked up his regular mobile phone, and dialed Yongqian.
