Physical persuasion, scientific transcendence [unlimited]

The elder secretary next to him couldn't help but raise his head from the front of the laptop, "The same board—the two group rental houses belong to the same landlord above? She bought three houses directly at that time?"

Director Wang shook his head and said: "No, the tube buildings in places like urban villages are usually four or five stories high, and many of them are built by the homeowners themselves. They can't live in themselves, so they are specially used for rent."

Brother Secretary: "In other words, it is very likely that this building belongs to the landlord?"

The fat brother sighed with emotion, "Even if it is a village in the city, the landlord should be quite rich, and he still lives in such a place."

Director Wang is considered to be of the same age, but he can understand this kind of mentality, "People who are 50 or [-] years old should have lived here all their lives and are used to it."

Cha Cha: "Brother Ning and the others are on the second floor. The people in this live broadcast room should be on the third floor? The landlord lives on the fourth floor."

Director Wang: "Yes..."

In the words, Director Wang's tone was still a little emotional, "But to be honest, for a 45-year-old person, going up to the fourth floor every day, the legs and knees are quite hard."

Afterwards, he quickly ordered again: "Everyone refresh the webpage of [Thriller Live] for a while, and see if we can find all the live broadcast rooms about [Cage House]."

ADHD suddenly reacted, "That's right, we just watched Brother Ning's live broadcast, and his three teammates should have their own live broadcast room too!"

It's just that, because Wen Youning and the others have been acting in unison, the people in the meeting room didn't pay attention to it for the time being.

Now that we realized that the topic of [Cage House] was not just Wen Youning and the others, everyone immediately put down what they were doing, and took their mobile phones or computers to keep chatting on the main page of [Thriller Live]. Click "Change" to try to refresh several other related live broadcast rooms.

About half an hour later, Fat Brother exclaimed again: "I found another one!"

While speaking, he directly sent out the URL of the live broadcast room.

Next to it, ADHD directly probed the brain, and then integrated the link of this live broadcast room.

Director Wang glanced at the screen in the live broadcast room, and it was not difficult to judge, "The four people here didn't act together?"

Brother Secretary: "If they and Ning Ning have similar tasks, they should also have the option of meeting teammates."

Cha Cha roughly observed the beds in the group rented room in the live broadcast, "It's the same layout as Brother Ning's, and the number of tenants is similar."

At this moment, an accident suddenly appeared on the screen.

A fat-looking man, panting from exhaustion after going up to the third floor, suddenly looked straight at a UP owner.

"You shouldn't be here."

The UP master was startled.

Next to him, his three teammates were also frightened. They didn't say a word, but they were all trying to avoid the frightening sight of the fat man.

"You shouldn't be here."

In an instant, it seemed that countless people were repeating this sentence, making people's eardrums almost perforated, but it had a strange brainwashing effect, which made people involuntarily repeat while suffering.

Chacha frowned, and directly lowered the sound of the video to the lowest level, "What kind of noise pollution effect is this!"

Director Wang: "Look at that UP master, his eyes are not right."

As if hypnotized by the voice just now, the UP master who was targeted just now has become in a trance, his body is as stiff as a walking dead, and finally returned to the bed in a daze.

His three teammates couldn't figure it out at all, but they were all terrified, and they didn't dare to approach this person again, let alone wake him up.

·

The young man came out of the kitchen with noodles.

Summer is already hot. There is no air conditioner in this group rental house. Several people just stayed in the "kitchen" for a while, and now they are already sweating profusely.

The young man couldn't help looking at Wen Youning's listless look, and whispered, "Let it cool down for a while before eating?"

Given the objective environment of the cage house, Wen Youning's depression was beyond words, "Hmm..."

Song Lingdi said while handing the bowls and chopsticks: "Put them all out and put them in a bowl to dry, so that they will cool down faster."

As for the pale woman just now, while Wen Youning and the others were cooking, she got up from the ground, returned to her own bed, and closed the curtain again, as if nothing had happened just now.

The apple that Wen Youning used as a weapon to plug the monster's cracked mouth still had clear tooth marks on it, and it was just casually discarded on the uneven concrete floor.

Wen Youning's eyes fell on the apple, he couldn't help but walk over, bent down and picked it up.

The eyes of the other three teammates naturally followed Wen Youning's movements, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes for a while.

As if sensing Wen Youning's footsteps, the bed curtain trembled slightly, not sure if it was the pale woman trembling.

After Wen Youning picked up the apple silently, he motioned for the other three people to see.

There are extremely clear sunken tooth marks on the apple peel, however, there are faint dark red blood stains inside the tooth marks.

Immediately, Wen Youning cut the apple open with a knife, revealing the traces inside.

Zhao Min's expression changed immediately, and he said in a low voice, "Why is the blood stain this color? Even if the air is oxidized, it cannot become like this in a short time."

Wen Youning recalled the details of when he observed the pale woman up close, and said in a low voice, "When I threw that person to the ground just now, her arm was bruised and purple."

The young man was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, "Isn't it? It's possible to be red and swollen all of a sudden, but the bruise is the congestion formed by bleeding from the subcutaneous tissue. It usually takes a few hours or even a day. Only then will the colors emerge.”

Wen Youning said softly: "So, I even suspected just now that her physical condition doesn't look like a living person."

The large bruises were like the impact wounds left by a corpse before death.

It's just that Wen Youning is not a forensic doctor, and he doesn't dare to be completely sure about this.

But now he was convinced that the pale woman just now was definitely just pretending to be normal.

Also, these camouflages are not perfect.

As long as something slightly breaks the original illusion, those disguises will be exposed directly.

Obviously, the air in Qun's rented room was stuffy and turbid, but at this moment, an inexplicable chill rushed straight up, sending chills down the spine.

Song Lingdi clenched the chopsticks in her hand as if holding a weapon, and murmured softly: "The landlord will be affected by 'some kind of unknown debris' and become a monster, but the tenants here don't seem to be affected by those cinders. The effect of the jelly ball?"

Wen Youning shook his head, "Not necessarily, but their reaction may be weaker."

Hearing this, Song Lingdi suddenly thought of something, "I tried it before, but I couldn't put those 'crumbs' in the backpack of personal belongings. This should also be for the purpose of keeping us in this 'crumb' ' under the influence?"

The young man couldn't help but said: "But this is not in line with common sense? These debris are dropped by ourselves from monsters, so we don't need to pick them up and bring them with us."

Wen Youning glanced at him, then shook his head, "Are you sure you won't pick it up?"

The young man made a "head" and said in a low voice: "Well, this thing appeared at the landlord's door. If you don't pick it up, the landlord will turn into a monster right away. It's hard to say."

Having said that, the four couldn't help but looked at each other for a while.

After a while, Zhao Min asked in a low voice: "The landlord has problems, and the tenants also have problems. What should we do?"

Wen Youning said softly: "It's only the first day, and we still don't know much information. Let's eat to recover and see the situation tonight."

Song Lingdi is obviously the one with the lowest mental value, but the state she has been showing is quite stable.

Song Lingdi also said softly: "What we're talking about now is just speculation. We haven't seen the situation at night yet. Let's talk about it when the situation is confirmed!"

Zhao Min nodded, that's true.

After such a delay, the noodles in the bowl were not completely cooled, but the temperature could barely be eaten.

Wen Youning looked at the bowl and chopsticks in his hands somewhat sadly, then took a bite and tasted it.

There was a look of surprise in his eyes.

——Although the surrounding environment makes people lose their appetite, this young man's cooking skills are surprisingly good.

The most common and good vermicelli in the supermarket, only with a few commonly used seasonings, it outlines a refreshing taste.

He couldn't help but looked up at the young man.

This guy is still wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap, even though the glasses have been smoked by the heat of the noodles, he has never removed the slightest bit.

To hide her face so tightly, Wen Youning couldn't help but think about it...

In fact, for the four of Wen Youning now, apart from replenishing the necessary physical strength for this dinner, the most important thing is to see if it has any effect on the state of the body.

It's just a few mouthfuls of noodles, and it doesn't take much time to eat a meal.

Song Lingdi was the first to put down the chopsticks in his hand, took a look at his state, and then said softly: "It's exactly the same value as when I ate roasted cold noodles at noon."

The three of Wen Youning naturally also discovered this detail.

Zhao Min said thoughtfully: "It is estimated that the effects of food are similar."

Wen Youning: "Ordinary food can be used to maintain a person's normal state of consumption, but if you encounter monsters or go out at night, your mental value will drop rapidly, and the daily three meals can't make up for it."

Thinking of this, Wen Youning suddenly realized a detail that he had overlooked before, and immediately said to Song Lingdi: "When you were outdoors at night, your mental value dropped like ours. At that time, you also carried those 'crumbs' on you. '."

Song Lingdi was taken aback, "Yes, yes...but when we were indoors, those 'crumbs' worked again."

Zhao Min was puzzled, "What kind of situation is this?"

Wen Youning said calmly: "The simplest explanation is that there are many reasons for the decline in mental value. 'Debris' can prevent the indoor one, but it cannot prevent the outdoor one in the dark state."

Song Lingdi took out the thinking of the staff of her game company and analyzed: "If this live broadcast scene is regarded as a game, then the environment where the outside world loses mental value rapidly means a high-risk area. In a high-risk area, players encounter There will be many risks, but the relative benefits will also increase."

Zhao Min: "10 points of mental energy will be lost in one hour, which means that if there are no accidents, as long as we come back within five hours, it will be relatively safe."

The young man reminded: "But there is no guarantee that we will not encounter new dangers when we are outside at night. Once the loss of mental value is superimposed, accidents are easy to happen."

Zhao Min also admitted this, "Indeed..."

Wen Youning obviously agreed with everyone's analysis, nodded slightly and said: "Let's take it easy and see what's going on before deciding whether we should take the risk and go out at night to see. At least, we have to wait for Xiao Song's mental value to recover to a certain level." within a relatively safe range."

Song Lingdi smiled, but came up with another way of thinking, "My mental state depends on the situation, right? At least for now, there is a person whose mental value is kept below 50, and he can see hallucinations. Very convenient."

Wen Youning looked at her intently, "If we now have a way to quickly recover our mental value, I will definitely agree with your opinion."

On the contrary, what Song Lingdi is doing now is to dance on the tip of the knife. If there is a slight accident, it will end in a catastrophe.

Song Lingdi naturally knew the risk, she did not refute, but still smiled.

On the one hand, this girl's overall spiritual value is not very high, but on the other hand, she also has an extraordinary tenacity in her bones, and even acts a little crazy when she acts...

Afterwards, the young man took the initiative to clean up the dishes.

The four of them did not continue to do anything, but went back to their own rooms and found their own beds to lie down.

Before parting, Wen Youning said in a low voice: "Pay attention to safety, if there is any unexpected movement, don't act rashly."

None of the three objected.

However, I couldn't help but looked at each other, thinking of Wen Youning's posture when he used an apple to punish that pale woman, I always felt that the words "don't act rashly" should be used to tell him specifically...

After returning to his own bed and lying down, Wen Youning didn't even want to move his body a little bit.

The temperature at night in summer has dropped a little bit, and it is not as unbearably hot as it is at noon during the day.

However, the smell in the group rental house is still bad, and the air is particularly turbid.

Wen Youning closed his eyes and thought, if he could fall asleep deeply in such an environment, it must be caused by the turbid air and lack of oxygen in the human body.

However, the fact is that not long after Wen Youning lay down and drowsy, he suddenly heard an extremely sharp scream from upstairs.

In addition to the screams, what followed was the "cracking" sound of things being swept on the floor.

Anyone who has lived in a building knows that if the neighbor upstairs does something on the floor, it will be like a bolt from the blue to the downstairs.

Especially in the dead of night, between the floor upstairs and the ceiling downstairs, the solid-conducted sound seemed to explode directly in the ear at close range.

Wen Youning woke up almost immediately.

He didn't open his eyes immediately, but only slowly opened a little gap, carefully looking at the situation around him, but his body remained motionless, without making any movement.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his bed, Wen Youning opened his eyes. Under the faint moonlight, he observed the indoor environment and listened carefully to the movement upstairs.

There doesn't seem to be any abnormality on his side.

However, the sounds from upstairs through the ceiling are particularly real. The screams of human pain, the sound of furniture hitting, the sound of tearing fabrics with unknown meanings, all mixed together in a noisy and chaotic way makes people feel like a crisis of breaking out in cold sweat feel.

The space in the group rented house was extremely limited, and the space above the bed was also partitioned for storage. Wen Youning lay on the bed, and he couldn't even see the ceiling at all, but only the wooden boards covering it.

He couldn't help but recall all the things he encountered today when exploring the [cage house] scene.

The floor next to the upstairs happened to be the floor between the group rental house they were in and the landlord. They hadn't seen any information related to Wen Youning and the others before, so naturally they never went to investigate.

But now, the obvious accident happened on the upper floor instead of the landlord on the next floor. This was somewhat unexpected to Wen Youning.

Wen Youning carefully discerned the noisy voices upstairs for a while.

Relatively speaking, the footsteps that are not so disturbing are a little disorganized. Judging from the number, it doesn't look like there are only three or four people living in a family.

In other words, the next floor should be the same as my own, and it is also in the state of group renting.

Realizing this, a thought quickly flashed through Wen Youning's mind: Could it be possible that this upstairs, which seems to have no intersection with them, is actually related to the group of renters he is in?

Tomorrow during the day, maybe they need to go upstairs to look for clues that might be hidden...
