Physical persuasion, scientific transcendence [unlimited]

The phantom on the girl's side has obviously turned into the girl's mother.

Wen Youning could guess with just a glance.

This kind of bad things in the family, he saw a lot when he went to the countryside to help the poor.

However, compared to the kinship between the two, Wen Youning's attention was still more focused on the girl's dark, sharp and obviously abnormal nails.

Thinking of the term "spiritual value" in the personal information in the live broadcast room, Wen Youning was thoughtful.

His expression hardly changed. He picked up a tattered express carton next to him, and put it over the head of the middle-aged woman who turned into a monster, directly blocking the sight between the girl and the monster.

Seeing the square carton, the girl was startled.

Seeing this, the young man who was beside Wen Youning stepped forward with special winks, "I'll come, I'll come!"

While speaking, the young man quickly pulled the monster out of the girl's arms.

Then, he directly dragged the hooded monster aside, and blocked the girl's sight with his own body. In the blind spot of the other party's vision, he planned to quickly deal with the monster so that she would not see the girl growing up with his mother. The monsters that are exactly the same are sanctioned.

After separating the two, Wen Youning looked at the girl who was still holding the knife in her hand, and asked as gently as possible: "Can you stand up?"

The girl saw that the young man stabbed at the monster, and then the monster directly turned into a strange appearance that had shrunk many times.

Failure to face up to the death of her "mother" somewhat reduced the girl's stimulation.

However, she still almost bit her lip to bleed.

After a while, he finally stood up with his hands on the wall with difficulty.

During this period, the girl's sharp and long black nails even cut a few obvious marks on the wall, like some kind of extremely sharp weapon.

The big man also noticed the girl's nails at the moment, and when he took a closer look, he found that in addition to the nails, the skin on the back of the girl's hand also seemed to have a few sporadic scale-like gray and black spots, which had a twisted and weird look. feel.

He is not a person who is good at hiding his emotions, the shock and astonishment in his eyes directly showed, "You, what's wrong with your hand?"

Some girls who were in a trance subconsciously looked at their hands.

Wen Youning suddenly felt that something was wrong, rushed over, and directly pressed another black courier bag that was casually thrown aside on the girl's hands, "Wait a minute!"

After Wen Youning interrupted the girl's movements, she asked, "What's your mental value now?"

At this moment, with the complete death of the fourth phantom, a new system message finally appeared on the screen of the live broadcast room.

[The newcomer UP main team is completed, and the live broadcast mission will officially start in 5 minutes. 】

The big man was taken aback, "The live broadcast task has not started yet?"

Thinking of Wen Youning's action of separating herself from the monster just now, the girl instinctively tended to trust him.

Even the very obedient one didn't look at his hands under the black courier bag, but glanced at his personal status bar.

After seeing her current personal information, the girl was shocked by the yellow mental value.

The girl was stunned and said: "My current mental value is 30/90, how could it be so low! I remember when I first came in, it was still around 78."

The young man blinked.

He didn't ask about the stats of Wen Youning and that big guy, but intuitively, their teammate's initial mental value was 90, which should be slightly lower among the crowd.

Wen Youning calmly reminded the girl: "Don't worry, 30 is just a critical point of mental state, you must calm down now, relax, and take a deep breath."

Seeing this, the big man couldn't help but check his mental state.

He is 97/120 at the moment. Generally speaking, he is still in a relatively safe state, and he is relieved.

The girl followed Wen Youning's reminder, and found that there was a small gray "" mark behind the three values ​​of her personal information. After clicking on it, the question mark contained the specific explanation of the three values.

[Hunger value]: When the hunger value is lower than 10, the mental value will be consumed faster; after the hunger value is cleared, the life value will continue to be consumed.

[Spiritual value]: When the spiritual value is lower than 50, hallucinations will appear; when the spiritual value is lower than 30, the hallucinations will materialize;

When the spirit value is lower than 15, the realized illusion monster will attack actively.

[Life Point]: When the health value is lower than 0, it will die.

The girl murmured: "When the mental value is below 30, the hallucinations materialize—you stopped me from looking at my hands just because my hands have changed, right?"

Wen Youning repeated in a gentle voice: "It's just an illusion, can you tell it clearly?"

The girl nodded and took a deep breath, "I'm mentally prepared, I can."

Only then did Wen Youning let go of her hand, allowing the girl to take away the black courier bag, revealing her dark, sharp, monster-like nails.

The girl's pupils tightened for a moment.

However, because of Wen Youning's reminder as a buffer, after she lost her mind for a moment, her eyes were only in a trance for a moment, and then her mental value temporarily stabilized, and did not continue to drop due to this shock.

At this time, there were still 3 minutes and 27 seconds before the live broadcast task displayed on the light screen officially started.

After confirming that the girl's mental state would not get out of control, Wen Youning sped up his speech and said, "Time is running out, let's make a long story short."

Seeing this, the big man who was still confused and had countless questions immediately shut his mouth and nodded seriously.

Young people and girls also looked at Wen Youning.

Wen Youning pointed to a dirty and dilapidated window in the small kitchen outside connected to this room, and motioned for the other three people to look at it.

Then he said: "The time I entered the horror live broadcast room was 11:19 on the 49th, but the sunlight leaking through the window here can prove that it is daytime here, that is to say, the time of the live broadcast room and The real world doesn't correspond."

The young man immediately said: "I didn't pay attention to the specific time when I entered, but I just had dinner not long ago, so it must be around seven or eight o'clock in the evening."

The girl followed up and said: "I got off work at 07:30 in the evening, and I just got out of the company's elevator, and the time is about the same."

The big man said briefly: "Then we should enter the live broadcast room at the same time."

Wen Youning nodded, and directly called the other three people to walk into the living room with him, and said at the same time: "I didn't stay in the room for a long time, it should only be a few minutes. When I got into the living room , the time of the clock hanging on the wall is 11:28 in the morning."

But now, the time on the clock has changed to 11:54.

The young man reacted quickly, "About half an hour has passed since entering the live broadcast room."

Wen Youning took another look at his three survival values. The hunger value and mental value dropped a little.

Although there were not many drops, combined with the time just now, this is obviously not a reassuring phenomenon.

Wen Youning: "If I'm not wrong, if there are no special circumstances, our hunger value and survival value will drop by 1 point every half hour."

The big man frowned: "The live broadcast plan requires survival for seven days, which is not enough for it to drop."

Wen Youning: "The hunger value should be supplemented by food. At the same time, there must be a way to replenish the mental value."

The young man gave a guess: "It may be resting and sleeping, or eating food."

For this teammate who did not take off his peaked cap and sunglasses in a dimly lit environment, the girl could not help showing an indescribable expression while nodding.

The young people didn't feel disobedient at all.

Wen Youning didn't care about these insignificant details.

——It doesn't matter whether the other party covers his face so tightly, the purpose is to look handsome, or he simply doesn't want to show his face in the horror live broadcast.

He just glanced at the girl and reminded: "Wait and restore your mental value to above 50 as soon as possible. Hallucinations will affect your judgment or bring some unexpected situations."

After a pause, Wen Youning added: "However, the decrease in mental value is not completely useless. Your nails just now left obvious marks on the wall, that is to say, after falling into the hallucination, we You can gain power that you can't have under normal conditions."

During the talk, the countdown to the live broadcast room has arrived.

As if the scene had been refreshed, it was still this cramped group rental house, but the monster corpses and blood stains all over the four rooms had disappeared in an instant.

The originally silent environment suddenly became crowded and noisy.

In addition to the four of them, several strangers appeared in this group rental "cage house" used as a live broadcast scene in an instant.

A young, pale woman was making instant noodles. The short cabinet where the instant noodles were placed had a broken table leg, and tiles were randomly placed underneath to make it even.

On the single bed behind the woman lay a sleeping baby of several months.

On the other side of the living room, a middle-aged woman was sitting on a small bench, frying cabbage with an induction cooker on the floor.

The nearby area became smoky from the frying and oily fumes, and the wok was still making a loud "sizzling" sound.

The strong smell of instant noodles, cooking fumes, the dark and damp moldy smell of the house, and the smell of stinky shoes and sweat piled randomly under the bed are mixed together, making it difficult to breathe.

Wen Youning's face suddenly turned pale.

The ground here is not paved with floor tiles, but only an extremely old cement surface, which has even become uneven due to long-term friction and bumping.

The white ceiling fan hanging on the roof has turned gray-black due to the dust that has covered it for an unknown number of years. Whether it should be worried that it will suddenly fall or will suddenly stop firing completely.

——This is one of the worst group rental houses that Wen Youning has ever seen.

At this moment, the door leading to the outside world from the living room was suddenly pushed in with a key, and was roughly twisted several times to open it.

Then, a middle-aged landlady, about 50 or [-] years old, with rough and curly semi-long hair tied randomly behind her head with an old-fashioned black rubber band, walked in.

The landlady urged with a sullen face, "It's time to pay this month's rent! A bed is two hundred, and anyone who can't pay the money today will get out of my house!"

Wen Youning didn't touch his pocket.

The consequence of the popularization of mobile payment is that he has not carried banknotes and cash with him for a long time.

The two teammates, the young man and the girl, should be in the same situation. The girl even had to carefully hide her dark and deformed nails.

The only burly man who subconsciously touched his pocket, his expression changed slightly after he found nothing.

——The wallet he brought from the real world was missing.

The landlord's impatient eyes have already landed on Wen Youning and the others, as if they will be kicked out in the next second.

The theme name of this live broadcast room is there, and the required time is seven days. Then, since it is called "Cage House", it is impossible to let them go out and sleep in the bridge hole for seven days.

Paying the rent and staying here is obviously a key node in this live broadcast scene.

Wen Youning immediately found an excuse, and explained with a good temper with a smile: "I will withdraw the money in the afternoon, and I have to work part-time in the afternoon, and when I come back from work in the evening, I will definitely send you the exact money, do you think it will work?" ?”

There is a saying that stretches out one's hand and does not hit a smiling face.

Especially Wen Youning was already good-looking, when he smiled, he felt more of a kindness like gentle wind and drizzle.

The landlord couldn't help but glanced at him a few more times, and probably didn't understand how such a good-looking young man could be reduced to living in a group renting a house even if he could earn a living by his face.

Wen Youning pleaded kindly here. Although the landlord still had a drooping face, he didn't continue to evict him. He just emphasized repeatedly: "Tonight is the deadline. If you don't pay the rent, no one will beg for mercy. make!"

After dismissing the landlord, Wen Youning went out directly.

The young man, the big man and the girl all looked at each other and immediately followed.

The other people in the group rented room were completely in a state of turning a blind eye to the situation just now.

Stir-fried vegetables, instant noodles with instant noodles, only the crying of the baby after being woken up, proved that those people could clearly hear the movement just now.

Wen Youning stood in the old, narrow stairs that were even piled with debris, with one hand in his pocket, raised his head slightly, and counted the landlord's footsteps.

After the sound of closing the door, he lowered his eyes, and then whispered to the other three people: "The landlord lives in the house on the upper two floors."

The other three subconsciously looked up in the direction upstairs.

Afterwards, four people quickly walked out of the narrow corridor.

Different from the dark and damp inside the group rented house, outside the corridor, there is great sunshine.

Even if the general layout of a place like an urban village is very unreasonable, with roads blocked and many illegal buildings, the midday sun still dispels the gloomy atmosphere just now.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

The air outside was scorching and hot, Wen Youning immediately took off his suit jacket, and handed it to the girl next to him.

The young man's eyes behind the sunglasses suddenly widened, and he couldn't help but said, "It's not cold today..."

The girl also froze for a moment, but didn't answer for a long time.

Wen Youning made a gesture and said briefly: "Put your hands inside your sleeves to protect your arms from the sun."

The girl understood now.

She put Wen Youning's suit jacket in front and put it on her arms, tightly covering her still weird black nails.

The young man exhaled, his eyes hidden behind the sunglasses couldn't help staring at the suit, almost burning a hole in the suit.

Faintly aware of that scorching gaze, the girl was stared at so that she was a little confused.

While walking, she subconsciously went around to the other side of the big man, and finally isolated a little bit the atmosphere that seemed to be surrounded by resentment.

The big man glanced at the young man, feeling baffled, "You also want sun protection? Big man, don't be so particular about it!"

young people:"……"

Immediately, the girl who covered her hands said, "We don't have any money, right? The rent is 200 a month, and we need money for food. The four of us must earn more than 800 yuan today to barely make ends meet."

After thinking about it, the girl suggested: "We can go to the nearby supermarket to see if there is any need for product promoters. This kind of work is usually completed on the same day. I have done it before, and there are 80 to 200 a day.

There are also leaflet distribution, courier sorting, and near the school, many college students need some temporary substitute classes and errands, all of which can be settled on the spot. "

Coming out of the area of ​​the village in the city, the young man looked up, and just in time saw a luxuriously decorated facade that was somewhat incompatible with the surrounding environment - "Zhangsan Microfinance Company".

The young man's eyes brightened, "I don't think so, we can find a small loan on the side of the road, and they don't even need a mortgage."

Following the young man's gaze, Wen Youning and the others also noticed the door face.

All three of them looked back at him in astonishment, "??" Why are you so proficient?

Wen Youning asked directly: "Why do you have such an idea?"

Although the big man didn't speak, the expression on his face clearly expressed his incomprehension.

This young man looks like a human being, but he actually wants to usury when he encounters a problem...

Wait, that's not right, this dude's sunglasses seem to be of some famous brand, he seems to have heard it mentioned by someone in the office before.

It looks like an ordinary cap and T-shirt, and the Logo on it doesn't seem to be ordinary.

Dahan usually doesn't pay much attention to these things. The inherent impression of this kind of luxury logo is that it is inexplicably expensive.

Ah this...

The young man told the truth: "It's always like this in TV dramas! Any weird person can borrow money from loan sharks. We'll just stay here for 7 days. I think it's okay to go to the loan sharks."

For a moment, the other three felt that they were about to be persuaded.

Wen Youning was silent for a moment, "I have dealt with this kind of people when I dealt with things at work before. There is no good thing for usurers, so don't believe it."

However, in the next second, he changed the subject and calmly gave up on himself: "Let's go on the seventh day. We will guarantee the repayment on the seventh day later."

Young man: "Huh? Why not a month?"

Wen Youning didn't raise his eyelids, and replied very calmly: "The group rental house must be haunted in the later stage. I want to see if the loan sharks, the landlord and the tenant can fight."

Girl: "..."

I just wanted to take this group of teammates to the mall to find brand promotions and make money at the end of the day. She has such a normal way of thinking that she deserves to speak?
