Flirting with old enemies in escape games

"..."

"Brother Candle, if you have any ideas, how about giving us a hint?" Ji Wuhuan tried to communicate with this candle: "Don't you know how to control people? If you have any long-cherished wish, we will help you fulfill it."

After he finished speaking, he took out the pen and paper, which meant that he could control himself to write down any ideas he had, even if he couldn't write calligraphy and painting.

However, after waiting for 10 minutes, there was no response from the candle, and the flame burning on the wick was always cold and cold, as if laughing at their futility.

Ji Wuhuan sighed and threw away the pen and paper, secretly laughing that he was thinking too much, maybe it just wanted to kill the players.

After working for a long time, it was instead to protect it, not to mention making myself miserable, and even ruining a teammate.

Thinking about it now, the death of that npc may also represent another hint from Rubik's Cube-it is not feasible to destroy candles by violent means.

This candle itself is not very strong, and its weaknesses are very obvious. Except for the extremely long burning time and the ability to create hallucinations to control players, it seems to be the same as ordinary candles. It will be blown out, afraid of high temperature, and maybe afraid of entering An anaerobic environment, otherwise there was no need to escape when the basin was lowered just now.

Having said that, it also explains why the villagers had an accident after they left the tomb. It is estimated that the candle was lit by themselves after they took it out, and the underground candles were probably all lit by the controlled people after they went down. .

Who would have thought that this seemingly unremarkable white candle would have such terrifying abilities?

Ji Wuhuan looked at his hand, it was covered with dust, so he took out a small mirror and wiped his face with a wet tissue, when he suddenly saw that the fingers of Nie Yuan's right hand were red, and there was a gray mark on the palm, obviously it was a candlestick stay.

Thinking that the other party touched the hot metal candlestick with bare hands just now, it should be quite painful.

Thinking of this, Ji Wuhuan immediately became happy!Pulling up the man's finger and holding it in front of his eyes, pretending to be concerned, he asked softly, "Little brother, does it hurt?"

Nie Yuan glanced at him and wanted to pull his finger back: "It doesn't hurt."

"No, you have to say it hurts." Ji Wuhuan pouted dissatisfiedly.

How cool it is to see Yuanyuan crying out for pain.

"why?"

"Why?" Ji Wuhuan smiled coquettishly, his eyes were electrified: "You can tell if you can't see it?"

Nie Yuan: "..."

"Hurry up, tell me~" Ji Wuhuan acted like a textbook coquettish again, her voice became softer and softer, her ending became crisper and softer, she blinked and blinked, and her whole body was as soft as a snake rubbing against Nie Yuan.

Who can stand this?

After Nie Yuan went through multiple dungeons, he had lost his temper, and even the time to struggle in his heart became shorter. He quickly squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "It hurts..."

That's right!

Satisfied and happy, Miss Ji took the man's finger, first brought it to her mouth and blew lightly, coaxing him in the tone of a child: "Huh—huh—it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt~"

Then he pulled his fingers towards his chest.

Ji Wuhuan changed into a black sweater this morning. It also had a high collar, but compared to the original one, this one was more sexy. The peach heart-shaped hole is just stuck on the top of the fake breasts, looming.

But now, Ji Wuhuan took the man's finger and poked it.

so soft~

After a short period of sluggishness, Nie Yuan didn't withdraw his finger immediately, instead he took the initiative to poke it a few times to confirm the feel.

Unexpectedly, poking Ji Wuhuan let out a gasp.

He deliberately leaned close to the man's ear, pressed his throat, bit his lips lightly, with a look of patience, screamed very low and softly, only they could hear.

"Ah...ah...ah~"

"Are you crazy?" Nie Yuan suddenly withdrew his fingers, only to feel a rush of heat start to rush down, and there was some subtle reaction.

What is this idiot doing? !Seduce a man?

Ji Wuhuan smiled brightly: "Little brother, does it still hurt? Does this make it better?"

"..."

"Ask you~"

Nie Yuan: "Okay..."

At this time, the other players who were sitting at the same time had an idea in their hearts: Damn, I really want to throw this couple of dogs out.

Liu Feifei has also gone from being jealous to being convinced, she admits defeat, she can't be coquettish, really coquettish!

They sat around the candle from the afternoon until the evening, discussed a lot, and even took the candles from the house and put them together to see if they could fight fire with fire.

Obviously, this is impossible, and there are still people who are unwilling to give up and try their best to extinguish it.

"How do you say this candle controls us? Smell or light?"

Regarding this issue, Ji Wuhuan has thought about it for a long time. Compared with light, he thinks that smell is more likely. See hallucinations.

In the end how to be considered "solve" the fatal root cause?

After seeing the power of candles, Ji Wuhuan suddenly thought of another question.

With Candle's ability, if they really wanted to kill them all, it could be said to be a piece of cake. On the first night after entering the village, no one could survive without getting any information.

So why not just kill them all? Is it because of the limitation of the Rubik's Cube or its ability to kill so many people at the same time?If so, why are those players dying?What the hell did they do?

At present, it seems that there is only one death condition that can be determined.

Anyone who tried to destroy the candle by violent means would surely die.

Needless to say, the reason is that the candle protects itself.

What about the other dead players?What did they die for?Candle is in a bad mood and just kills and plays casually?Or is there another reason?

Ji Wuhuan had a hunch that this might be the key point to pass the level—to figure out another hidden death condition.

And that suspicious red box, what kind of existence is it?

The information we know now is still too little.

It seems that the catacomb has to go down again, and there must be more important clues in it.

Last time I was frightened back, but this time, after knowing that it was all a hallucination, I was not so cowardly.

Thinking of this, Ji Wuhuan poked Nie Yuan's shoulder: "Little brother."

"..."

I don't know what kind of nerve this guy is, it's okay to keep his back to him from just now, and ignore others.

"Little brother~" Ji Wuhuan leaned over again, and before he put his chin on the man's shoulder, he began to blow into the man's ear ambiguously: "Why are you ignoring him?"

Nie Yuan immediately raised his hand to push his face away, with an uncomfortable expression on his face, and changed the subject before the other party made a fuss: "What's the matter?"

"Let's go to the tomb tomorrow." Ji Wuhuan rubbed his palm with the tip of his nose and looked very cute: "Are you okay?"

"……it is good."

It was another difficult night, but luckily no one died this night, Ji Wuhuan thought so at first until dawn.

He leaned against Nie Yuan and took a nap for a while. When he opened his eyes in the morning, he habitually counted the number of people first, and suddenly paused: "Why is there one person missing!"

At the beginning of the game, there were 22 players in total, until yesterday there were still 12 players, after the fire there were 11 players left, and now, there are only 10 players.

As soon as the words came out, the players began to look around, and one of them said, "It's Jiang Qian!"

"Where did he go?"

"It seems that I didn't see it when I left the house last night..." a player recalled.

Another player said, "No, I saw him last night and he was the last one in the house."

No one knows whether what they see is the truth or an illusion.

At this moment, a player suddenly pointed at the door of the bedroom: "Look, when did the door close?"

The door was open last night.

"Go and have a look." Ji Wuhuan said and walked inside.

Although he had made some psychological preparations, he still shrank his neck slightly when he opened the door and saw the corpse.

Jiang Qian was lying on the ground, and a metal awl was inserted into his chest, directly to the heart, and the blow was fatal!

When seeing the corpse this time, even the novice players were a little numb. No one screamed and vomited anymore, they just turned around in fear and wanted to get out.

But Ji Wuhuan felt something was wrong.

He has already told other players not to fight back when encountering horrible hallucinations, so why does he still fight back?

It's fine if you're a rookie, but Jiang Qian is an old player.

Unless...he triggered the first death condition and violently attacked the candle, but the candle was always outside, and he had no reason to do so.

Ji Wuhuan looked around him and found a dark red wooden box beside his leg.

Could it be a coincidence?The young man squatted on the ground, carefully looked at his posture, and came to a conclusion: "He probably wants to break the red box."

"What? Why would he do that?"

Ji Wuhuan shook his head lightly, just when he was about to say that he didn't understand, he suddenly saw a red shadow under the bed, and he lay down to have a look.

Another red box!

"There are two red boxes in this house?" Ji Wuhuan was surprised, he thought it was standard for a family to have one.

This is not the point, the point is, why do you die when you attack the mahogany box?

Could it be that both candles and boxes have such abilities?

Ji Wuhuan was about to stand up, when he suddenly thought of something, right, there are two candles in the room now, and there are two red boxes here.

Is this a coincidence?

No, probably not.

Ji Wuhuan suddenly had an idea and pulled Nie Yuan up: "Let's go, let's go back to the house that was burned last night."

They ran away yesterday, but the house was left unattended. Naturally, only a frame was left, and the walls were all black. Fortunately, the distance between the houses was far enough, otherwise if a large-scale fire broke out Fire, it's all over.

"What's wrong?" Li Dongwen and others chased after him.

"Looking for something." Ji Wuhuan stepped into the charred door frame, walked into the bedroom, and kicked away the debris on the floor: "Where is that box?"

"The box? I'm afraid it has been burned to ashes." Tang Shuai walked to the edge of the metal bed frame and pointed with his toe: "No, I remember it was here."

Several people squatted down and checked carefully, but there was no debris left.

"It's unscientific." Luo Zi pointed to the wooden table next to it: "This table hasn't been burned so clean in front of it, why can't it be found at all?"

"It's unscientific..." Ji Wuhuan thought for a while and answered her: "There is only one possibility, it wasn't here last night."

"what?"

"It was moved out by Jiang Qian."

Why did some players not see him after leaving this room?Why was he the last to come in?

Because I went to move things.

Jiang Qian is an old player. When he regained his senses, he might have guessed what he was doing just now, thinking that the wooden box was the culprit, and then tried to break the box, but he also suffered backlash.

"I understand, the candle not only protects itself, but also protects these wooden boxes!"

Ji Wuhuan recalled the murals they saw in the tomb, at that time they had a feeling that "these candles are guarding the tomb".

So the existence of this eternal lamp is actually to protect the things in the tomb?

It will kill anyone who tries to attack themselves or anything in the tomb.

This is entirely possible, isn't the most fearful thing for those dead ancients is that their graves will be dug up?Plants and objects that can cause hallucinations and make people commit suicide or kill each other often appear in tomb robbery. It is not surprising that candles have this ability. Perhaps the ancients did not know the common sense that combustion requires oxygen?

But if that's the case, then why would people who didn't attack them die?

Compared with the condition that was triggered actively, this second invisible condition was the real cause of death, and it was precisely because of this that the people in the entire village were killed.

The origin of the candle and the red box has been figured out, but the most critical question is still unanswered.

Ji Wuhuan touched his earlobe, and silently recited the game rules and hints in his heart.

The tomb... maybe the truth lies in it.

"Go, go to the tomb."

At this time, there are only two days left before the end of the game.

The author has something to say: Pippi: Poke and call~

Yuanyuan: Why don't you give me a shout?
