Krypton Life Game [Unlimited]

"It feels like some kind of mechanism or rule." Song Ci touched the brim of the hat on the back of his neck, which was his habitual action when he was thinking. Unfortunately, the soft felt hat didn't feel right in his hand. He touched it awkwardly twice, but was at a loss as to what to do. hands down.

The one-eyed old man never seems to appear at night, is it also related to this rule?

"Their deaths have nothing in common, right?" Zhang Chi scratched his hair through the towel.

"Yes, they all had accidents when they were alone." The big man said.

"There seems to be another one." The white-collar girl who woke up not long ago was a little sluggish, and said weakly, "It all happened when the twelve o'clock bell rang after the short lottery was drawn at night."

bell?Song Ci rubbed her chin with the knuckles of her index finger, recalling the first night.He, too, seemed to hear the bell before his claustrophobia relapsed and he fell into the vat.

"Damn it, so that clock is a death knell?" Zhang Chi stared at the western clock on the counter in surprise, "No, why is senior okay?"

"In fact, I almost drowned in the wine tank that night." Song Ci explained the strange situation he encountered that night and the situation where the big man rescued him, deliberately skipping the part about claustrophobia.

While talking, he walked to the counter, and after finding nothing unusual on the Western clock, he flipped through the account book. There were only two wine bills on the first night, but the amount was extremely expensive, and each bill was expensive. There are two gold bars.

A jug of wine can be sold so expensive, no wonder the old man doesn't care that the inn's business is deserted.

"Except for the exception of the first night, it means that among us, one player dies every night at twelve o'clock. And every dead player hides a clue." The big man on the other side concluded.

Not by accident, but by necessity.The big man's reasoning was terrified, and the man with glasses and the white-collar girl were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a while.

Cold sweat broke out on Xiaopingtou's forehead, his lips moved a few times, he hesitated to speak.Song Ci noticed that his expression was wrong, "Did you remember something?"

Xiaopingtou wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, "I also remembered it when I saw No. 5's body. I heard from a player before that there is an elimination rule linked to the limited number of people in the time-limited secret room."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Zhang Chi was dazed by the bunch of 'restrictions' in Xiaopingtou's words.

"The secret room of the nine-person game we are entering now corresponds to a limited time of nine days. That is to say, if we do not find the key, every day that passes, the forced elimination rule of the secret room will be triggered. It will randomly or according to the screening mechanism Kill a player until we are all eliminated." Song Ci put down the ledger and looked at Xiaopingtou confirmingly, "Is that what you mean?"

"Yes, yes. That's basically it."

"Then, how did you get the system to agree to set the screening mechanism as a 'drawing'?" Song Ci raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiaopingtou, the plaid shirt and the fat man, all of whom were selected by lottery, and the fat man was not even on duty in the lobby , but still died.

"This has nothing to do with me. It should be the person who is 'on duty' according to the system selection rule."

"But No. 2 is not on duty?"

"In the novice game, the 'contract' that everyone recognizes will be automatically judged to be valid by the secret room. Therefore, at the moment when the short lottery is drawn on the 2nd, he is the 'on-duty' person recognized by the system, and it has nothing to do with where he actually stays. Not much. It’s like giving me points after you agree to clear the level.” Xiaoping swallowed, “Why don’t I worry about you breaking the contract? Because in the novice game, as long as the verbal promise is established, the system will recognize the contract and enforce it.”

"Didn't you say such an important thing earlier?" Zhang Chi angrily grabbed Xiaopingtou's collar.This guy didn't have any good intentions from the very beginning!

"I'm not sure if it's true! So I want to verify it." Xiaopingtou was much shorter than Zhang Chi, and because he was being pulled by the collar, he had to stand on tiptoe and struggle to explain.

The big man frowned, "Your method of verification is to see if there are any clues on the corpse?"

"Well, forcing a player to be eliminated every day is equivalent to the punishment given by the Chamber of Secrets to players who have not found the key, but relatively, as compensation for downsizing, the Chamber of Secrets will give a clue on the corpse of the eliminated player." His face was flushed from the tight collar, and he stumbled when he spoke.

"You kid just waited for others to die to pick up clues, right?" Zhang Chi looked at him distrustingly.

There are seven required clues, so when seven players die, the last remaining player can get the most complete clues through the death of other companions.When no one else knew about this rule, it was obvious that Xiaopingtou was the most likely to be the last survivor.

"No, really not." Xiaopingtou hastily denied.

"Is there anything else you're hiding from us?"

"It's gone, it's really gone. I've only entered a secret room with a maximum of two stars before, so I didn't dare to speak nonsense because I was really not sure about the authenticity of this news." Xiaopingtou's face had already turned purple.

Song Ci patted Zhang Chi's arm, and if he didn't let go, they would reduce their staff again.

Only then did Zhang Chi relax his hands.

Xiaopingtou coughed violently a few times, and shrank behind the man in glasses and the white-collar girl.

The man with glasses shivered and pushed his glasses, "Since No. 8 was able to rescue No. 3 that day, does it prove that there is a loophole in this mandatory elimination, and if the rescue is done properly, it may not really be dead."

The big man glanced at the time, "It's possible, but it's more likely because of the particularity of the first night. According to the current situation, the 'clearing' time for the secret room is twelve o'clock every night. And the first night At twelve o'clock in the evening, we have not been in the secret room for 24 hours, which can be counted as less than a day. There is also a possibility that we only have eight players. Looking at it from another perspective, it can also be counted as the first day It has already been reduced."

The glasses man's eyes lit up, and he looked back at Xiaopingtou, "Does that mean that if one of our companions has already died, we don't have to die in the middle of the night?"

Xiaopingtou waved his hands again and again, "I don't know, I really don't know about this."

The man with glasses sighed and lowered his head.

"Let's hurry up and follow the clues to find the key." The white-collar girl said worriedly, "It's fifteen past one."

According to the rule they just learned, their lives have entered the countdown.In another twenty or so hours, if the key cannot be found, one of them will die immediately.

Time was running out, the six of them were divided into three groups, and quickly selected their targets to act separately. Zhang Chi and Song Ci went straight to the firewood stack outside with oil-paper umbrellas.

After going out, Zhang Chi went to Song Ci's side, "Senior, do you think Xiaopingtou is telling the truth?"

"About eighty percent. In short, don't completely believe what he said." The raindrops hit Song Ci's umbrella, making crackling noises, which muffled his voice quite a bit.

The idea of ​​the lottery was put forward by Xiaopingtou. The next morning Xiaopingtou was surprised to see him still alive. Judging from these two points, Xiaopingtou remembered the mandatory elimination rule much earlier than 5 When No. dies.

"Don't worry, I don't trust anyone except you, senior."

"If only one person can live in this game in the end, are you not afraid that I will sell you out for your life?" Song Ci teasingly squinted at Zhang Chi.

"Don't be afraid, my brother said that although you have a lot of problems, you are afraid of the dark, afraid of heights, weak in body, picky, a little lazy and a bit lecherous..." Zhang Chi counted out a bunch of things skillfully with his fingers, "but you It's his best friend in this life, I believe you won't harm your best friend's younger brother."

Song Ci: ……………

Qi Huan, how many bad things did he say about his father behind his back?

"In case, I mean in case, the two of us really can only run away." Zhang Chi grabbed Song Ci, under the rain, his expression was very serious, "When the time comes, senior, you run your own way, don't worry about me. "

"What's your score in the [-]-meter run?" Song Ci yawned lazily.

"10 seconds 96."

"Then you can rest assured, my 20-meter running speed is only 58 seconds, and you can always run ahead of me at any time." Song Ci patted Zhang Chi's tense shoulders, "To you, who speaks ill of me all day Brother promise."

Zhang Chi: ……………

Oops, did he just say something that shouldn't be said?

They searched all night, and when they returned to Datongpu, the fat man's body had disappeared, leaving only dark marks on the floor tiles.

You can tell by looking at their expressions that none of them have discovered anything new.

"We even turned over the firewood stove." The man with glasses said.

"It's weird, it's not anywhere. Could it be that the key is really in the guest room on the second floor?" Zhang Chi scratched his head anxiously.Except for the Tianzi Room, they haven't had a chance to go in and check the rest of the second floor.

"Details are the devil, calm down, just like that clock, there may be something we have overlooked." The big man motioned to Zhang Chi to be calm, and asked the white-collar girl to take out all the cloth strips and put them on the cleared Chase. On the bed, "Take a closer look."

Song Ci also fell into deep thought, chai, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, what is the connection between these seven things and the key?

Solving the mystery was fruitless, and seeing that the sky was about to dawn again, the anxious people had to lie down and rest.

Not long after, the one-eyed old man asked them to get up and continue to decorate the wedding hall.

It was still raining, and no other customers came to the door. The old man who had nothing to do was sitting at the counter.Everyone was anxious, but they couldn't get rid of his supervisor, and the whole day was almost wasted.

At 05:30 in the afternoon, the inn was finally arranged in a disorderly manner, and the old man personally placed the pair of dragon and phoenix flower candles half a person's height.

In the cloudy and rainy days, the decorated inn not only did not have the slightest joy, but instead had a somewhat eerie and treacherous atmosphere out of thin air.

Everyone had no appetite for dinner, and it was getting closer and closer to twelve o'clock, but they made no progress at all.Calculating the time, it seems that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow should be the day for the 'wedding banquet'.

After dinner, it was time to draw lots for the night duty again.After everyone discussed it, they still decided to draw lots. The probability of lottery drawing is the same as that of the system for them. On the contrary, lottery drawing allows them to know the result in advance, allowing them to prepare earlier.

The short draw this time is the man with glasses.The moment he got the short lottery, his face turned pale.

"By the way, when I was cooking in the evening, I sneaked into the old man's room and found a box in the drawer of the cabinet. There were some letters in it." The white-collar girl took out some envelopes from her pocket and shook them as if remembering something. , "a box inlaid with mother-of-pearl."

"Heroes among women!" Zhang Chi gave the white-collar girl a thumbs up.

Everyone hurriedly opened them separately. The letters were not titled or signed, but they seemed to be addressed to the same person, and the content was very similar.

[On the evening of the [-]th, ask to marry the girl 'Gengwu Guiwei Dingchou Yisi']

[On the evening of the [-]th, ask to marry the girl 'Gengxu Bingxu Bingwu Guisi']

[On the evening of the twelfth, ask to marry the girl 'Bingchen Bingshen Jiawu Gengwu']

The last letter reads [horoscopes have been combined, it is appropriate to prepare for a big wedding at Haishi on the evening of the tenth.The young master will be escorted to arrive on the [-]th. Please prepare [-] guest rooms. After the wedding banquet, merge the Guhe points as soon as possible. 】

Zhang Chi scratched his head, "These letters are all written to the old man, how can he have so many daughters to marry?"

"Others, I don't understand what it means, but the last letter seems to be referring to that person." The white-collar girl pointed to the Tianzihao room upstairs.Although they don't have exact date information, six rooms are a clear indication.

It turns out that the so-called wedding banquet really refers to the feast of a yin marriage.

The night wind pierced through the hall, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, and everyone who was brainstorming the pictures of the wedding banquet and the Bingguhe acupoint had goosebumps all over their bodies.

Song Ci stared at those letters for a few more times, and lack of sleep for several days made him dizzy.

"Senior, what are you thinking?"

Song Ci slowly rubbed the side of her forehead, "I was thinking, if the one upstairs is the groom, where is the bride?"

The author has something to say:

The mystery will be revealed tomorrow~╮(╯3╰)╭

Lemon [encouragement]: Cici, work harder, can you push the secret room faster?

Song Ci [Reciprocity]: Work harder, can you code faster?

Lemon: ⊙︿⊙
