Chapter 9: The second game (4)
"Maybe it's a fantasy, attacking its weaknesses." Mu Anqi analyzed, "Although it's wrong to judge people by appearance, he has heavy dark circles under his eyes and his body is extremely thin. Of course, it may be that he was addicted to games and stayed up too late, or it may be work. Too much hard work and overtime... However, depending on how you die, there is also the possibility of overindulgence."
"Yes. If someone seduces me with a female ghost, I will definitely not be tempted." The little fat man muttered, "But not necessarily with delicious food."
"This is just my guess, and I don't know exactly how. And..." Mu Anqi pointed to the left, "It's an illusion, or the seven tenants on the left that never appeared, there's no conclusion."
"At night, everyone, be careful. Before going to bed, remember that you are in an escape game." Chu Zhongfei said seriously, "Although I don't know what randomness is, but... Ren Chaoxing, you must be more careful tonight. ."
"Oh, I'll be very full at night." Ren Chaoxing said, "To tell you the truth, my power has something to do with eating, and I can be better after eating what I like to eat. As for ghosts... Even if a ghost tempts me with delicious food in the middle of the night, I will definitely not be fooled. I brought a lot of food. Don’t worry, I have the ability to protect myself.”
Mu Anqi couldn't help but glanced at Chu Zhongfei one more time. She didn't know what ability this person had drawn, but looking at this person's character and...she felt inexplicably the attitude, it was probably some kind of "good person halo" "Ability? Otherwise, why did she think Chu Zhongfei was friendly at first sight? Just like the other players are willing to exchange names under his enthusiasm, that little fat man will return to Chu Zhongfei, he has the ability to protect himself. Mu Anqi recalled the first game, she really didn't communicate with other players at all.
It's just that I don't know if Chu Zhongfei is really kind or just pretending.
However, even pretending to be good. It would be nice if it could be loaded from the beginning of the game to the end.
Every player carefully observed the room. Even Shen Bufan, who expressed his disgust to the extreme, stepped into the room with his disgust. .
Seven nights, seven nights. On the first night, the male player of 407 died... of overindulgence.
Desire? Mu Anqi silently recited the number "seven". With the association of desire, combined with the cause of death of the male player, she suddenly thought of "lust丨desire", lust丨desire, lewdness丨desire... This is the escape world, this kind of Favorite element in the game...
Seven deadly sins?
Mu Anqi was stunned for a moment, and she quickly glanced at the other five players. Ren Chaoxing... Gluttony? Shen Bufan, arrogant.
But what about the other players? What crime did Zhao Guogu and Wu Sansheng commit? Which one did she commit? Mu Anqi fell into deep thought, what else is left? Arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, gluttony, lust, greed...
She is lazy? But she's not too lazy. anger? Even more so, none of the remaining players are madmen who have lost their minds. As for jealousy and greed...
Don't know, don't know, don't see.
Mu Anqi sighed, it seemed that she still had to wait the next night. In fact, it doesn't matter if they don't obsess about the cause of death. After all, this game is very obvious, it just wants them to spend the seven nights safely and play the role of "lucky guests" staying in the hotel. As long as you live to the last day, you will know everything.
Of course, the premise is that you can live to the last day.
Mu Anqi returned to her room, and she rummaged through her own room again. The layout and furnishings of her room were the same as those of the dead player. After seeing other people's rooms, she came back and looked at her own. Find anything different or unusual.
So, is it a ghost? Still have to... go to the room on the left and have a look.
As soon as Mu Anqi went out, she saw that a player was already waiting in the room on the left. Mu Anqi was stunned for a moment, then walked over quickly.
"You're here too." It was Zhao Guogu who knocked on the door, and the expressionless Wu Sansheng stood beside her.
"Well, I think... the cause of death should be here." Mu Anqi nodded and asked curiously, "Did you know each other before?"
"No, it's just that I happened to meet her when I was going out, and she wanted to come and see, so we went together." Zhao Guogu said with a smile, "It's all girls, let's help each other."
"Maybe it will have to wait until night." Wu Sansheng speculated looking at the closed door.
"It may also be because the people who knocked on the door are different." Zhao Guogu suddenly answered. After she said this, she also showed a bit of surprise. She bit her lower lip and looked at the star who was watching because of these words. My own Mu Anqi and Wu Sansheng stammered: "Hold, sorry... I just, suddenly had this idea. My ability is relatively... passive, it's a kind of luck."
Mu Anqi was stunned for a moment. When it came to luck, she had to mention the fortune-teller she met when she was eight years old... Forget it, not to mention it. She listened to Zhao Guogu's words, and the girl didn't seem to be lying, so... what does this mean? "You mean, each ghost corresponds to a person? The player in A407 died, and the corresponding ghost may be the ghost in B407?"
"...I don't know either." Zhao Guo rubbed his temples and said helplessly.
This door is...B401, Mu Anqi lives in A404, Mu Anqi stepped forward and knocked, but to no avail. Seeing this, Wu Sansheng also stepped forward and knocked on the door three times, but there was still no response.
Mu Anqi looked at B402, but didn't take a step: "If you're right, then... as long as you knock on the seven doors, there will always be a ghost door corresponding to you."
"However, after knocking out the ghosts... will you be hunted down? If you die early, can you still get information?" Mu Anqi looked at Zhao Guogu, a little strange, "You are really bold enough to knock on the door."
"My luck has always been good." Zhao Guogu said, "If I knock on the door, my life will be in danger. I will feel it." Zhao Guogu took a step and walked slowly from door to door. The lights in the corridor After a flash, she stood at the door of the penultimate door with a solemn expression, "I don't understand, what is the corresponding division."
"How much do you know about Broken Mirror Continent?" Mu Anqi asked.
"This is my third time playing the game, I don't know anything about this continent..." Zhao Guogu smiled bitterly, "I originally thought that Nirvana space was the main **** space similar to the infinite stream, leading to various worlds, various copy."
"This is the second game." Wu Sansheng said indifferently, "The coexistence of demons and monsters feeds on the negative emotions and souls of human beings. It is intended to elicit the negative emotions of players, such as intimidation, despair, madness, killing, etc. The currency of Shattered Mirror Continent is Guansi, I guess that's the player's soul energy."
"With each game, the player grows. The possibility of generating negative energy is weakened, but the energy is more pure. As for the soul, it will also be stronger than the newcomer. The newcomer dies and cannot be resurrected. If the player dies, he can spend points to resurrect, I guess … At the moment of death, part of the soul will be stripped away for the ghosts to eat."
"As for the meaning of the Broken Mirror Continent, the specific structure. It takes more games to know." After Wu Sansheng finished his conjecture, he saw Mu Anqi and Zhao Guogu looking at him like a ghost. She touched her face, and there was a rare trace of doubt on her expressionless face, "Is there something on my face, or is there a ghost behind me?"
"...No." Mu Anqi said with difficulty, "It's just that I think you're amazing." What can the ghost world use as currency? What is Kanji? Why do ghosts crave Kanji? -Oh, so they are the soul of the player. The invisible threads that emerged from the bodies of the players after they died... curled up like smoke from cooking, and what was finally snatched and devoured by the ghosts turned out to be souls.
Mu Anqi touched her backpack. She didn't know how many Guan Si were equal to the soul of a new player. And how many lives are these in her bag. The currency of this ghost world... it really fits the background of an escape game.
"It's just my own simple guess, it's not completely correct." Wu Sansheng replied calmly, she looked at the ghost's door, and said, "Maybe, tomorrow will be able to know the murderous intention of this game. But it will be officially confirmed the day after tomorrow. ."
"Because A406 is Ren Chaoxing?" Mu Anqi asked.
"Well." Wu Sansheng said calmly, "I don't know much. Combined with the supernatural, seven, and A407 causes of death, I can only think of the simplest seven deadly sins."
"..." Mu Anqi opened her mouth, but she didn't think it was easy. "I think so too, but I don't know what I correspond to. If the A407 is lustful, the A406 is gluttony. According to the order of the seven deadly sins, the third from the bottom is greed. And greed... I don't know. But the A401 I think corresponds to arrogance, but if he is according to this, he is the last one."
"Yes." Wu Sansheng nodded and added: "It can indeed be triggered by human crimes, but it can also be triggered from the mentality of ghosts."
"Wait, wait a minute! What have you been talking about since the beginning? Did you enter another dimension?" Zhao Guogu waved his hand between the two of them with a look of disbelief, "You two just chatting?"
"Well." Wu Sansheng nodded, "Seven deadly sins."
"...I know." Zhao Guogu was speechless for a moment, and she sighed, "But I can't match it, right? If so, I should be lazy? But I'm not lazy to the extent of sin."
"...It's a coincidence, I also think I'm lazy." Mu Anqi looked embarrassed, and Zhao Guogu looked at each other, both of them showing silent and awkward smiles at the same time.
After all, they stopped knocking on the door, and it was almost noon, so they went to eat buffet together.
Halfway through the meal, the rest of the male players also came to eat one after another. Chu Zhongfei came with Ren Chaoxing. That guy Shen Bufan was still alone, and he didn't sit with the players like them. He only dined gracefully, as if he was not in an escape game, but in some high-end restaurant.
