Flirting with old enemies in escape games

"Driver? The bus driver who brought us here?"

"Yes."

"Of course it was because of a car accident." Liu Feifei said in a tone of "Is there even a need to ask?"

At that time, all the players woke up at the scene of a car accident, and everyone witnessed the tragic death of the driver.

"Is there a sense of familiarity in not wearing a seat belt, driving the car into the mountains and then rushing off the cliff?"

"Familiarity? What familiarity?" Liu Feifei pressed the bar again: "Drunk driving accidents are often in the news, so you want to say whether he was drunk driving or tired..."

"Wait!" Li Dongwen suddenly raised his head and interrupted her, understanding something: "Miss Su, do you want to say that he committed suicide?"

"Yes." Ji Wuhuan smiled charmingly: "What I'm asking is: Is this method of death familiar?"

"He was also killed by a candle?!" The players finally came to their senses.

"I'm afraid he is. He is also from this village. Do you still remember the eldest son who was lost in that family? I searched the whole village before, but I couldn't find him."

"It might have been eaten by a monster."

Ji Wuhuan touched his earlobe, took out a photo and handed it to them: "This is in the driver's wallet."

At that time, the car overturned, and all the players were still a little dazed after waking up. Ji Wuhuan was the first to check the driver's body. Besides the map, there was actually a wallet. He thought it might be an important clue, so he secretly I hid it, thinking about using it to get the No.1 reward.

Later, when I checked, I found that there was only a photo of a passport besides dozens of dollars. At first, Ji Wuhuan didn't know who it was, but when he saw the photo of the eldest son in the family, he didn't react.

After all, when he first entered this dead man's village, there was a strange atmosphere everywhere, and Ji Wuhuan was also worried.

It wasn't until I took it out to have a look just now that I was sure that this happened to be the missing eldest son of the family, so Ji Wuhuan came to a conclusion: "He was controlled, probably induced by hallucinations, and drove our car away. sent here."

Then he committed suicide after completing the task.

"Because if he is alive, we can get a lot of information from him, so the best solution is to let him kill himself and die before we wake up. Then we come here through the map ourselves."

Therefore, the route will be drawn with a red line on the map, which is specially marked for players to see.

"There are also candles hanging in front of the village gate, also to keep us under control as soon as we step into the village."

It was a set game from the start.

"Similarly, the npc was able to come out alive, not because of good luck, but because the monsters below want him to come out, so that we will go down. If the real culprit is the candle, such behavior is meaningless to it , On the contrary, it is likely to expose its base camp. In contrast, monsters can take the opportunity to eat people."

The first time they went down, they didn't even find the monster, they just figured out the origin of the candle and the red box.

"Perhaps it tasted the delicacy of a living person, so it deliberately let go of that npc and asked him to come up and guide us down."

If it wasn't for the npc that suddenly appeared, they might not have decided to go down so quickly to find out.

"Let's talk about the simplest truth again. If the candle is really causing trouble, then it has the ability to kill us directly, so why deliberately leave a chance for survival?"

Speaking of this, everyone's thoughts followed him, and they asked tremblingly, "Because you eat fresh?"

"If I'm not wrong, the dead player's body should have disappeared, and that's the proof."

Perhaps the monster had no experience at first, and just wanted to kill and eat people. The villagers couldn't stand the intimidation of hallucinations, and committed suicide one after another, so the whole village died.

But it was not enough, it needed more people, so it took control of the surviving driver and brought in fresh living people, that is, players.

This time it was smart, it didn't kill them in one go, but came in two or three, which is why the candles were clearly capable, but they didn't kill them directly in the first night.

"But... what if the monster and the candle help each other? The candle helps the monster hunt and the monster protects the candle."

"Let's not talk about whether this kind of candle needs monsters to protect it." Ji Wuhuan shrugged: "Just say that you think we might extinguish the candle?"

Several players lowered their heads and thought for a while, then shook their heads at the same time and said: "...It's unlikely."

Although they don't want to admit it, they have tried all the methods they can think of. Unless there is a natural disaster now, such as an earthquake, flood, mudslide or something, it is impossible for this candle to be extinguished artificially.

"So it can't be the fatal cause in that regard either."

One of the Rubik's Cube tasks is to "solve" the root cause of death, but it turns out that they can't solve the candle at all.

The ability of candles is too strong, and there are a large number of them. They can not only produce hallucinations, but also control people's behavior to a certain extent. The most terrifying thing is that they are also very smart. Only these three can almost block all roads It can be called unsolvable.

"But if there is a manipulator behind it, then it means that this problem may be solved."

"But... even if the manipulator behind it is really that monster, we can't kill it, right?" An old player suggested, "Leaving aside its own combat power, those candles will definitely help it."

"Little brother, have you noticed?"

Ji Wuhuan poked Nie Yuan's shoulder with his finger, thinking that not to mention poking his shoulder normally, it would blow his hair if he touched it, so he poked the man's face happily again.

The soft fingertips were neither light nor heavy, making people feel itchy until the hand was caught, the young man blinked innocently and smiled, and continued: "The candle may be just a medium, it is likely to move while acting. You can't control people with candles."

Nie Yuan originally thought that he was going to say something nasty again, but he didn't expect it to be a serious discussion. After a slight pause, he let go of his fingers and hummed deeply.

Other players didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"When it was down there just now, it chased from the depths of the tomb to the entrance of the tunnel. If it could control people through candles, it could use illusions to trap us during this period, just like it did during the fire, and we couldn't find the exit at all. If so, who can escape?"

When Ji Wuhuan was climbing up, the hallucination that suddenly appeared reminded him.

Why didn't there be hallucinations when I was down there just now?It has been exposed, and it will certainly not let them go.

So there is only one reason, it doesn't work.

The players have found a way to deal with the illusion, so the illusion can no longer kill, only it can do it by itself.

"So don't worry too much about hallucinations."

In fact, after figuring out the principle of hallucinations, there is no need to be too afraid.

Even if it is the ability to manipulate the player's behavior, there are very few things that can be done, and the control time is limited, and after conscious defense, this ability is almost negligible.

"So it means that we have to get rid of that monster?" Li Dongwen understood it: "But that monster's fighting power is so strong, how do we solve it?"

"I also have an idea about this." Ji Wuhuan snapped his fingers: "It has a weakness, it seems that it can't leave the ground, and it went back when it chased to the end of the tunnel just now."

The young man touched his earlobe and tried to recall what he saw underground: "I just don't know what caused it, but if we figure it out, maybe we can solve it."

Hearing this, a group of players saw hope again and started discussing, but Nie Yuan suddenly turned his head and looked at the cave ten meters away.

"what happened?"

"There's a sound from below." After Nie Yuan finished speaking, he put Ji Wuhuan off his body, stood up, clenched the bag in his pocket three times, and walked over slowly.

Seeing this, the players became nervous. Ji Wuhuan touched his earlobe, ready to take out the preserved egg at any time, and followed the man step by step.

As it got closer, the young man also heard that voice, which seemed to be calling for help.

"Is there anyone up there! Help!"

"Roland? Is she still alive?" He heard it: "Go, go and see!"

The two quickened their pace and came to the entrance of the cave, and they really heard her voice clearly.

"Are you still there? Is anyone outside! Pull me up! Help!"

"She's really alive!" Ji Wuhuan's eyes lit up, Nie Yuan turned around and brought the rope, and other players also came to help.

After putting down the rope, there was no response. Li Dongwen lay down beside the hole and shouted, "Roland, come up quickly!"

However, there were frantic screams from below.

"Ahh! How could this happen! Sister, how did you become like this!"

Nie Yuan frowned and said, "She must have seen hallucinations."

When he was waiting for the second rope to come down from the bottom just now, he also saw the hallucination, but as a big guy with almost zero fear nerves, he touched the hanging rope expressionlessly amidst all the grimaces, and his face was blank. Changing his expression, he put Tang Shuai in place, and then carried him up together.

But he can be absolutely calm, which doesn't mean Roland is fine. Hearing her panicked voice, he should be completely confused.

She had just lost a family member, and she was at the most vulnerable time. The hallucination made her see her sister, and she would definitely fall into it.

We have to figure out a way.

The players above shouted at the top of their voices one by one, but Roland didn't respond. Just when they thought it was over, the lowered rope suddenly moved, and then there was a shouting sound from below.

"Pull me up! Quick! Quick!"

Several people quickly pulled her up, and Ji Wuhuan squatted by the hole with a flashlight on, and told Roland below: "Don't let go!"

Roland lowered his head, seemed to be holding something in his arms, and held the rope with one hand.

Just when she was pulled out little by little and was about to reach the ground, Liu Feifei and Li Dongwen were about to reach out to pull her.

Unexpectedly, when Roland looked up, it turned out to be a bloody grimace!

She has no eyes and ears, and most of the top of her head has been gnawed off, and she can even see the white brain inside, holding Luo Zi's head in her arms, and grabbing Liu Feifei's hand with the same bloody hand!

The scene in front of her was so frightening that Liu Feifei screamed loudly: "Ahhhh!" and pushed her hand away.

Li Dongwen was also frightened and screamed. When he stepped back, he didn't stand firmly and sat on the ground directly.

The players pulling the rope behind were stunned, and just about to ask what's wrong, Liu Feifei screamed: "It's a ghost, she's a ghost! Don't pull her up!"

Several players quickly let go, and at this moment, Ji Wuhuan also shrank back in fright, but saw that the female ghost grabbed the rope in horror and let out a scream.

"No! Don't let go!" Ji Wuhuan immediately realized that this was a hallucination. She was probably Roland. She rushed over in a hurry, but only grabbed the "head" in the girl's hand!

He was so frightened that his hands trembled, but when he took a closer look, he realized that it was not a human head at all, but just a miniature head-mounted camera, and what he grabbed was the strap on it.

Roland grabbed the other end of the strap with a look of horror on his face: "Don't let go! Don't let go!"

Fortunately, Nie Yuan, who was beside her, also reacted quickly, stepped on the falling rope, grabbed her again, and pulled her up.

As soon as Roland landed, he hugged the camera and burst into tears.

It seems that after she went down, she saw her sister's tragic death, and she couldn't bring back her bones, but retrieved the camera.

She was lucky to come back.

Seeing that she was covered in blood and her clothes were in tatters, another newcomer girl, Xie Mansi, took the initiative to comfort her, took off her coat and handed it to her, and then they carried Tang Shuai and Roland back together.

It is definitely not good to stay near the entrance of the cave all the time.

What they didn't expect was that some of the corpses in the village had begun to rot, and there was a peculiar smell in several houses.

Everyone could only find a two-story brick house and climb up to the large balcony where the clothes were dried on the roof. They went to the firewood house to bring firewood and planned to stay here first.

Roland sat in a very unstable mood, sat in the corner and didn't speak, and other people ignored her when they talked to her. He just hugged the camera and cried while watching it at first. Later, he seemed to be tired of crying and leaned against the wall. like a statue.

Ji Wuhuan sat on the chair and rested for a while, half-closed his eyes and began to think about how to deal with the monster. He first recalled all the things that happened in the catacomb.

After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and found that the video at that time was only half shot. He turned his head and saw the camera in Roland's hand, and had an idea in his mind: "We have to ask the camera to come over and take a look."

It is likely that the whole picture of the monster was photographed there.

Li Dongwen curled his lips: "I tried it just now, and she ignored me at all. She was pushed away when Xie Man tried to help her up and sat on the chair. She probably wouldn't pay attention to anyone now."

Ji Wuhuan poked Nie Yuan: "Little brother, why don't you sell your luster and use beauty tricks to comfort..."

"No." Before he finished speaking, Nie Yuan coldly rejected him.

"Forget it, I'll try it." Ji Wuhuan was only joking, expecting Nie Yuan to comfort others?It's fine if he doesn't fan the flames, let him do it himself.

However, what they didn't expect was that the young man had just knelt down and said a few words to Roland, and he took the initiative to give him the camera.

Players:? ? ?

Ji Shuixian: My appearance really surpasses gender!

And when he started watching the video, he realized why Roland had a different attitude towards him.

The camera was originally worn on Luo Zi's head, but she fell to the ground when she was taken away by the monster, and it happened to capture the scene where Ji Wuhuan and Nie Yuan were about to escape, but they came back to save others.

Although they failed in the end, at least they tried, so Roland was grateful.

Ji Wuhuan turned to look at the girl sitting in the corner, she didn't even bother to wipe off the blood on her face, she sat in the corner in a daze, with a numb expression on her face, staring at the ground motionless.

When people are extremely sad, they can't cry.

Ji Wuhuan sighed slightly, returned the video to the front, and watched it again, trying to find useful information from it.

Compared with the video taken by his mobile phone, although the content in this camera is also intermittent, it is obviously much more complete. At least it has not been interrupted since the monster appeared.

This also seems to verify Ji Wuhuan's guess, it can't control people when it acts.

Unfortunately, when Luo Zi was caught in the coffin by the monster that fell from the sky, the camera just fell.

Therefore, only the scene of the monster passing by was captured. Ji Wuhuan slowed down the speed by 8 times, and finally stopped on the face of the monster. However, only the position above the bridge of the nose was captured, which is the third part of the monster. The second face.

When they were underground before, due to the poor light, several people couldn't see the whole picture of the monster clearly. They thought they could find out from the video, but they only took half of the face.

Several people looked over and over for nearly an hour but found no useful information.

"It's a pity." Li Dongwen was a little discouraged: "Why don't you study the murals inside, I want to take a closer look, maybe I can find other things."

Ji Wuhuan nodded, and when he was about to hand the camera to him, he accidentally pressed his finger on the replay, and there was a scene in the 8 times slowed down screen, which was when the monster fell from the sky.

As he yelled, Luo Zi raised his head and glanced upwards, and just happened to capture the entire face of the monster, but it was so fast that it almost passed by and turned into a phantom.

Ji Wuhuan suddenly had an idea. When the speed was adjusted to 16 times, he made a major discovery.

When the monster was in the air, the hair was brought back by the wind, exposing his forehead, and there was a black spot the size of a soybean near the hairline!

"What's this?" Several people looked closely, and Qian Jun guessed, "Isn't this a mole?"

mole?Ji Wuhuan took out his mobile phone, there were several pictures of the murals in it, and after comparing them, he exclaimed excitedly: "It really is the owner of the tomb!"
