1/2 Nightmare [Unlimited]

"Then what shall we do next?" the elder asked.

076 glanced around, closed the door of the room, and put the pencil case on the table where it was.

He opens the door again.

This time the outside room was very normal, without moving back and forth like Rubik's cube modules.

"This is...Xiao Ming won't let us take away his things?" 612 guessed.

"It should be like this." 076 responded, then glanced around the room, and finally fixed on the basket carried by the elder.

——Because the rabbit spirit elder came out without eating at noon, she specially brought a basket of carrots for lunch.

Qi Lu went over to her and asked her, "How many carrots did you bring?"

The elder first subconsciously clutched his basket, showing the animal's nature of protecting food.Later, when she realized that this young man's identity was unusual, she regained her composure and counted them reluctantly.

"...Seven, eight, nine. No more, the one who brought twelve carrots, I ate one, and he ate two." The elder pointed to 612.

612 nodded: "Ah yes, I just ate two."

076 nodded, then asked the elder for a carrot, and put it in the stationery box.He picked up the pencil case again.

This time, 076 walked to the door of the room, opened the door, and the room outside was not sliding like a Rubik's cube module.

"It means if we take something away, we have to put it back again, isn't it?" 612 asked.

076 is noncommittal: "It should be like this. Since Xiao Ming let us find him from these 27 rooms, obviously, he is very familiar with this place. We can take away some things with his traces after passing through different rooms. is useful."

Both 612 and the elder expressed their understanding.

076's guess obviously does not have a certain factual basis, and it is more based on his experience in customs clearance. 612 convinced him spontaneously. As for the elder, he was originally a foreign aid recruited by 076, so she naturally obeyed 076's words wholeheartedly.

They leave the carrots, take away the pencil case, and leave the room together.

Opposite the room is another room.This time it was a dilapidated, smelly room, someone probably used it as a makeshift toilet.

They left in a hurry.

Then there is the third room, which is also a room.

The room in the third room was not clean, there was only a camp bed and a quilt, and it looked like an adult's physique.They searched around the room, and the elder found a set of security uniforms under the bed. They looked around and found that it had nothing to do with Xiao Ming, so they left again.

The fourth room, the blank room, is empty.

The fifth room...

……

……

Until No.18 room.

They heard several human-made noises at the door of the room.

The elder was already a little irritable, she said: "What's the matter with this kid named Xiao Ming! How can he hide better than our rabbits?! There are more than a dozen rooms here, let's see if I don't find him right away..."

As the elder said, he was already one step ahead of 076, and ran to kick open the door of the room.

612 helped her carry the carrot, but didn't stop her when he saw this, he was also tired.

This kid named Xiao Ming is too good at hiding, right? !

After the door of the room opened, the elder didn't go in immediately, instead she stood hesitantly at the door.

"What's the matter?" 076 asked, strolled over, but didn't go in right away.

— There are other people in the room.

They opened the door so rashly, much like outsiders who broke in suddenly.It is inevitable that there will be some embarrassment and do not want to go in directly.

"You are...you are Qi Lu?" One of the voices sounded familiar, and he was the first to call out Qi Lu's name.

"Are you...?" 076 frowned, he couldn't recognize who was in the room, he could only feel the voice was familiar.

I can't blame 076 for being blind, but the two people in the room are really a little too strange——

They are two people, one sitting on a stool and the other sitting on a bed.Their lower bodies seemed to be entwined with vines one after another, and their legs could not be seen.Or in other words, their legs seemed to be shaped like vines.

"I'm Xu Nian." The person on the stool said.

076 stepped over his face slightly, and saw the person on the bed, only a pair of eyes remained, and the exposed skin on his body had turned into the lines of bark. If you don't look carefully, you really can't see it.

076 immediately thought of "wooden man".

But before 076 could speak, Xu Nian had already said, "Qi Lu, are you... blind?"

Only then did 076 remember that he was still wearing sunglasses.

076 and Xu Sui and Xu Nian were not very familiar with each other, so they didn't explain too much. They just said a simple "hmm" and explained the reason: "612 and I were hurt by the strong light, so we both got a pair of sunglasses first."

"Oh." Xu Nian didn't think much about it.

He went on to talk about what happened to him and his brother Xu Sui.

"The two of us were brought here together with Chen Zhiju, but the two of us were unlucky and were the first to be cursed by the wooden man. My brother has already turned into a wooden man, and I guess I will be there soon."

Xu Nian's words were full of pessimism, and what he said was a bit confusing, but he could still understand the general meaning.

076 asked him again: "Where is Chen Zhiju?"

"Is she around here? She has been taking care of the two of us recently." Xu Nian replied.

"Recently?" 076 caught the key word.

"Ang, has it been two or three days?" Xu Nian laughed at himself: "When we first came here, my brother and I didn't know why, and gradually evolved into a wooden man. Now my brother has completely become a wooden man, no Know when it's my turn."

Xu Nian's words were pessimistic.

"Don't think like that." 612 comforted him, but it had little effect.

The elder always had a good heart, so she also comforted Xu Nian.

076 looked around, and continued to ask: "Have you met a child here? His name is Xiao Ming, and he has a cleft lip."

Xu Nian shook his head: "I haven't seen it before. It feels like there are only three of us in this old factory."

"Well, good." 076 didn't continue to ask, he pondered for a moment, and then asked other questions: "Has Chen Zhiju been taking care of you?"

"Yes." Xu Nian said.

076 now has a roughly determined direction in his heart.

The room was clean, so 076 found a place to sit down.

612 leaned over and asked him, "No, we're just like this? Don't care about anything?"

"What do you want to do?" 076 asked back, and he continued: "Wait here for now, wait for Chen Zhiju to come back."

Now that 076 has said this, even if 612 has an opinion, he will not raise it. He immediately found a chair, leaned against Xu Nian, and talked with the elder and the three of them.

076 was thinking, 612 didn't dare to disturb him easily.

Qi Lu spoke to 076 in his consciousness: "Are you suspicious of Chen Zhiju?"

"Yeah." 076 was never calculating and the most outspoken when he was talking to Qi Lu.

"The theme of this dungeon is friendship, which is a serial dungeon. Only when the game mode in each small dungeon truly guesses the mastermind behind the scenes and the motive of the mastermind, can the game be effectively prevented from continuing." 076 told Qi Lu rules faintly.

Qi Lu nodded: "So, in fact, in the last round, although we had already deciphered it, we didn't fully decipher it. That's why we went from hide-and-seek to the wooden man?"

"That's right, if we still can't accurately guess Chen Zhiju's motives in the wooden figure, there may be other games in the future, such as throwing a handkerchief, and the eagle catching chickens... And have you noticed that this level has already been played?" It’s much more difficult than the last one.”

Qi Lu can understand what 076 said.

This level is really difficult, whether it is picking the bark face from the locust tree, or looking for clues in the Rabbit Lip Village, and this old factory—an old factory like a Rubik's cube.

Every step is without warning, although he is not dead, but it is thrilling enough, or imprisoned here.

"What's wrong with Chen Zhiju?" Qi Lu asked.

"You can try to guess it yourself." 076 guided him, and said slowly, "According to the known information, you guess. It's no big deal if you guess wrong."

076's words were light and light, which made Qi Lu let go of his moral grievances, and he began to recall what happened along the way.

"Xiao Ming, it's Xiao Ming in the Ballad of the Wooden Man. In this game, he doesn't necessarily refer to a whole." Qi Lu spoke slowly, telling his own guess: "The role of the elders seems to be really insignificant. , besides providing carrots and being able to sense cleft lips, she has almost no other use. But the cleft lip village is specifically mentioned in the game."

"Well, go on."

"The current elders have clearly told us that there is no sign of a man with a cleft lip. Is there a possibility that what Xiao Ming refers to is not necessarily a certain person, but a certain image reflected in the game."

"Why is there such a guess?" 076 rarely asked him back.

"Because there is no specific reference to Xiao Ming. In the ballad, 'Xiao Ming' is also irrelevant. It seems that it is just to draw out Xiao Ming's father and the beauty at the train station. This 'Xiao Ming' is replaced by Xiao Hong Xiao Zhang Xiao Wang. Does not affect the whole of the song..."

……

……

On the other side, the elder pulled 612 and asked softly, "Hey, are we isolating that Qi Lu?"

"Isolate?" 612 obviously didn't react, so he has to dare to isolate 076? !

"That's right!" The elder whispered, "Look, you two players, and I, an NPC, were abducted by you. Let's gather here to talk and leave Qi Lu there alone. Internal isolation?"

Xu Nian was obviously also stunned. In his impression, that Qi Lu had always been calm and sharp, and he had a sense of alienation as if he had just come out of the ivory tower. Although he had only met him once, he could still I understand, this Qi Lu is definitely not simple.

This kind of quasi-big guy, he can only rely on others, how dare he talk about isolation?

612 rubbed his face, he knew that there were two cores in Qi Lu's body, 076 was very protective, no one was allowed to touch his things too much.

The reason why he chose to take the elder away from him was also because he was afraid that this stupid rabbit would do something that shouldn't be done, in case 076 was offended, tsk!

612 thought about it for a while, and then changed to an excuse that he thought could be justified, and told them: "It's actually like this, Qi Lu is dating someone, so it's not convenient for us to go and disturb."
