Classic revival of infinite games

Chapter 92 5.20 Skeleton Formation

"A moving skeleton?" Yeager frowned and approached.

He opened the wooden lid of the basement again.Linton also poked his head out curiously.

Below the basement, a group of skeletons raised their heads, their empty eye sockets seemed to be attracted by something new.

They twisted their joints and began to gather at the head of the stairs.

Too many bones gathered, they squeezed each other, and some arm joints made a crisp sound.Some white bones fell directly in a rustle.

Yeager put down the plank.

"Did you see it?" Peter said, "So the skeleton on the map is really literal?"

Yeager didn't speak.His complexion was a little pale, as if he was muttering something.

Linton couldn't hear it clearly even when he got closer.

It seems vaguely something like "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid", "Brother Ye's body protection" and so on...

"Don't you have bracelets? They may not attack you if you go down?" Linton asked against the wall.The hut's kink trees had been almost emptied now that the light was coming in.

"The clown is talking about not being attacked by animals and plants, big sister, animals and plants." Tim said angrily, "Do you think these skeletons look like animals and plants?"

Animals and plants will be paralyzed and threatened by electric shocks, and the skeletons are hard to say.

"It's really not like it." Although Yege was trembling a little at this time, he still thought about it and said, "We are new here. Have you seen these skeletons on the stage before?"

All three shook their heads.

"It's like a horror movie, who knows what will happen if they attack you?" Harry sighed.

"Aren't you adventurous? Go down and try?" Linton teased against the wall.

"Aren't you looking for excitement? Go down and try?" Tim retorted.

"Speaking of..." Yeager said suddenly, "Why haven't these skeletons come up?"

He opened the lid of the basement again, and saw that the densely packed skeletons gathered at the stairs raised their heads and began to scramble to climb up.

Yeager lowered the lid again.

He let out a breath, then bent down and listened through the boards.

There was no movement below.

"It's like... a wooden man game..." Yeage said.

"what is this?"

"As soon as we lift the panels, they move," Yeger explained.

"Is it because of the light? They have phototaxis?" Linton asked with a frown.

"Or is it the presence of humans that creates the smell?" Tim suggested another possibility.

"Could it be the magic circle with a seal drawn on the cover?" Peter asked whimsically.

"Not sure." Yeager replied, "It's just that the moment the lid is opened, they will crawl up."

"There is no treasure up there, so we have to go down to get the treasure." Peter analyzed, "Then we just let these skeletons come up, so we can go down?"

"Then what happens after these skeletons come up?" Linton shook his head. "With so many skeletons, shall we seal up the hut and start a skeleton war? Or let them go out and search for prey on the entire island?"

These skeletons all look very dangerous, and they don't know what they will do to humans.

Right now they are sealed underground, and the entire island seems to be safe, animals and plants cannot attack those humans.

But skeletons are not necessarily so.

What forces are they driven by?And how will it deal with humans?

No one knows, no one wants to experiment.

But on the other hand, if you don't go down and get the treasure, the whole game can't be over.

"It looks like we'll have to release the skeletons on the island so we can go down and get the treasure and end the game," Harry said heavily, "but if they're released, all the nobles will be in danger."

"Maybe we can go down as soon as possible, and make a quick decision? End the game as soon as possible before the skeletons find humans?" Peter said.

"The entire island is not that big. There are humans everywhere." Harry shook his head and said, "It just depends on whether we are willing to sacrifice a few people to ensure the majority. It's a choice."

Yeager didn't answer.

He faintly felt something was wrong.

But he couldn't think.

His hands trembled uncontrollably, but not because of the skeleton.

It's because there is no strong person around to let him rely on and make him feel at ease.

"Lin Xiaomei, calm down." He said softly to himself.

Many people habitually rely on the strong around them, especially Lin Xiaomei.

When she was a child, Lin Xiaomei felt at ease when she was with her parents.

When he grows up, he will feel at ease with his good friend Ye Man.

Lin Xiaomei knows that her IQ and analytical skills are not bad, but the premise is that there are people around her to reassure her.

Otherwise, she will be tense, anxious, worry excessively, and do things badly.

Before she entered the game, she came to look for Ye Man on the subway, and she was still thinking dejectedly, if she couldn't find a job, she would go to the sojourn owner of the bookstore and ask him to let her and Ye Man look at the store together...

In this way, you can laugh and laugh with your friends all day long, and if something goes wrong, Mr. Ye can solve it.

She is very envious of Ye Man's decisiveness, able to plan and lay out clearly without interference from the outside world.

"Lin Xiaomei, you have a high rate of correctness in the questions. It stands to reason that you were able to get a second-class scholarship at least last year. Why can't you perform well in the exam?"

It was an afternoon in the sophomore year, in the sunset, they were reviewing and preparing for the exam in the library.

Ye Man looked into her eyes with quiet eyes, and asked her seriously like this.

Lin Xiaomei replied truthfully: "I will be very nervous because of the exam."

Because I was the only one answering the questions in the exam, the surrounding seats were all vacant.

I always do the questions with you at ordinary times, and I feel at ease.

Ye Man thought about it seriously, and said: "If you are nervous about the exam, don't pay too much attention to your emotions. Think about other things, such as why the teacher asked this question, what he wanted to test you, some type of."

……

Yes, why did the teacher ask this question?
Yeager's trembling hands stopped suddenly.

so close!He was almost confused by this chaotic scene and lost his position!
He didn't know when he started to focus on getting the treasure!
What is the ultimate goal of Circus and Mia?
It's Dr. Lin and Detective Ye.

Kill them and use the perfume.

The blue bracelet is the first puzzle, the silver card invitation is the second, and the basement is the third.

The circus lures him in with golden treasures, forces him to make irrational decisions as soon as possible with island rules, confuses him with scary skeletons, and misleads him with light puzzles on the upper level.

"Have you ever thought about a question." Yege's voice was finally as calm and peaceful as before, "Where did these skeletons come from?"

Everyone else was startled.

There are so many strange things in the circus that everyone didn't think about it.

In fact, a skeleton, whether it can move or not, is not a human skeleton?

"They don't move, so it may not be because of the light." Yege said slowly, "Maybe it's because of this door..."

"It can only be opened from the outside world!" Linton suddenly realized.

"So they don't move because..." Harry also had an epiphany, "They know it's a waste of effort down there."

"They've turned into skeletons and they're eager to come out! So when they see the door open, they'll huddle together and run out!"

"That makes sense. But how did you come up with it?" Tim asked curiously.
