Infinite spooky game

Chapter 80 Hopeless Sea ([-]) Knowledge-knowledge
"I have a very accurate intuition about weird things. I have been able to see ghosts since I was a child, and I also know when and where ghosts will appear." Chang Xu stopped and inserted a card that appeared out of thin air between his fingers into the wall.

The bell tower was filled with dust. In the narrow and cramped space, the escalator, which could only accommodate one person, spiraled upwards, leading to a gleam of light at a high place.

The light was natural light cast in from high in the sky. The brightness of dusk did not help, and could only allow the two people traveling one behind the other to barely see the road in front of them.

"So?" Zis put his hands in his pockets. He didn't want to have any contact with the dusty stair railings at all. "I could see ghosts when I was a child. When I was bored, I played a few flights with the girl under the bed. chess."

Chang Xu's fingertips flashed with blue light, and he inserted the cards into the wall one by one: "Did you hear anything?"

Qisi did not answer, but thought to himself: "...I don't know what happened later. I suddenly couldn't see ghosts anymore. The doctor said that I was cured. Do you want me to contact my attending doctor after I get out?" How can I recommend it to you?"

"I just heard the sound of nails digging into the wall." Chang Xu embedded the last card in his hand into the wall, and circled a square half a person's height.The blue light connected into a line, and the parts between the squares disappeared out of thin air, revealing the dense bones behind the bell tower wall.

It was a complete skeleton, but because it was bent and buried, it looked curled up into a ball, so twisted that it couldn't be seen as human.

Chiss became interested, stepped forward and pulled out the skull, playing with it and observing it under the light.

He dropped the skull and pulled out a representative bone. After a while, he made a judgment: "It is the bone of a black man."

Chang Xu raised his eyebrows: "I remember that research 30 years ago refuted rumors that there are actually no specific differences in the bones of different races. The differences are more caused by other factors."

"It's just political correctness." Zis sneered, his eyes narrowed into a narrow line, "You can still see the subtle differences if you touch the corpse a lot. Comrade police, I remember I reported to you that in this area I It’s professional.”

Before Chang Xu asked, he added: "The preparation of specimens involves more species than you imagine. Otherwise, how do you think the human specimens displayed in universities and museums come from?"

Chang Xu remained silent, and Qisi realized something was wrong belatedly.

He retreated calmly, still chatting unconsciously: "Brother Chang, you are already involved in a weird game. You have to have some common sense about corpses. Do you need me to teach you some?"

Chang Xu said "hmm" and said in a flat voice: "Let's talk about it after we go out."

"go out"?The ghosts and NPCs in the weird game will not know the existence of the game, and "getting out" is out of the question...

Qisi breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his eyes, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the pale hands of the person in front of him.

Those obviously sinister finger bones were hanging down coldly!
His breath stagnated, and he stepped back step by step, silently distancing himself from the figure in front of him.

The light above his head was getting further and further away, as if he could never reach it, but he couldn't care so much anymore.

He is not afraid of death, but he has no desire to die in a cold, dim, cramped building, moldy and rotting in obscurity...

His back seemed to hit something, and a face stretched out from behind his neck, pressing against the tip of Qisi's nose.

It was a white skeleton with clenched teeth and no lips, as if smiling...

……

"I just heard the sound of nails digging into the wall." Chang Xu said, about to insert the last card in his hand into the wall.

Zeiss reflexively drew out the blade and slashed at the back of the former's neck.

Thoughts failed to turn into actions, and blood-red prompt text popped up in front of my eyes.

[In this copy, you cannot kill players with the status of "noble"]

[Violation of dungeon rules, one warning!A total of three warnings will trigger punishment! 】

The cold electronic sound poured down on his head, and Qisi pulled away from the memory of the one-minute crisis and calmed down.

The watch worn on his left wrist was faintly hot. In the item column in the lower left corner of his sight, the [Destiny Pocket Watch] turned gray, and a line of text popped up the moment his eyes touched it:
[The effect has been activated, the prop cannot be used again in this copy]

The time rewind effect was used inexplicably, and Qisi's eyes were dark.

Soon, he remembered something and couldn't help but squinted his eyes.

While exploring the third floor of "Rose Manor", after seeing two skeletons, he also encountered danger, which also triggered a short-term time travel... Both the scene and the feelings it gave him were very similar.

At that time, he thought that the reason for his escape was that Chang Xu destroyed the skeleton. But if this was really the case, how could he explain the backward movement of time?But at that time, it was clear that destiny was not with him...

The time paradox has emerged, and Ziss once again thought of the last prophecy of the copy of "Dialectical Game"——

'Ziss, you plotted against Ziss. '

One sentence can have countless interpretations, and the existence that dominates everything does not seem to intend to hide too much from him, but instead induces him to actively discover the truth.

But the lack of information made him destined to be unable to find answers.He knew this and felt very bad.

Chang Xu heard his teammates' breathing quicken for a moment, and his intuition made him immediately stop what he was doing and cast a questioning look at the young man.

There was no point in playing tricks in this situation. Zeiss briefly recounted what had just happened without explaining the reason for turning back time.

Excessive cover-up is a sign of guilty conscience and can easily make people suspicious.

Why are there props that can go back in time?Don't ask, just ask if you are lucky and will be rewarded by completing a certain copy perfectly.

Chang Xu silently put away the cards in his hand and asked, "Do you still want to go up?"

We were only halfway up when we encountered this situation. There was still a long way to go, and we didn’t know what kind of crisis would lurk.

Qisi pondered for a moment and then said with a bright face: "Someone has to go up, otherwise this clue will always be blank."

He paused, and the smile on his face became more sincere: "Besides, I also want to stand on a high place and see the entire island."

Chang Xu couldn't help but look at the young man a few more times in confusion.In his impression, this man was full of evil, and his only purpose was to let others go through trouble. How could he put himself in danger so righteously?
However, recalling it carefully, it seems that the other party has never done anything to feel sorry for him. That impression is groundless and most likely just an illusion because he never likes smart people.

Chang Xu shook his head to clear away the messy thoughts, and then saw the young man making a "please" gesture to him, and said with a smile: "Brother Chang, I have never been in good health, and you are still a practitioner." Let’s take the lead.”

Chang Xu:......6.

Maybe it was because the bad luck had been exhausted by what happened just now, or maybe it was because as long as we didn't hold back anything, nothing would happen. The rest of the journey was extremely smooth, with not even a mouse, let alone a ghost.

The light above me is getting closer and closer. When I emerge from the dark building and stand on the top of the bell tower, I have the illusion that I can touch the sky.

The most eye-catching furnishing is a large bronze clock, hanging quietly and solemnly, giving people a sense of mystery of ancient life.

Zeis stared at the battering ram next to the clock, and he was very playful. He wanted to try ringing the bell ten times to see if the rule of "please fall asleep when ringing ten times" would still take effect.

Seeing that Chang Xu was still there, reason finally defeated his bad taste, and he could only regretfully put aside his dangerous thoughts.

Chang Xu also stared at the clock. A few seconds later, he walked around behind the clock, pointed at a pile of decaying bones piled in the shadow, and said calmly: "The bell-ringer is dead."

To be precise, he is too dead to die. I have never seen anyone who has become a skeleton and can still live.

As for what the thing is that rings the bell every day, it’s scary to think about it.

Qisi stepped forward and said in a respectful manner: "You are so dedicated. You still insist on ringing the bell after so many years of death."

Skeleton: ...

Chang Xu also couldn't understand Qisi's unique sense of humor. He knelt down and ran his fingers over a few lines of small words on the wall covered by skulls.

[Fearing and praying, I only see the sea and the dead souls who fell into the water]

[They said, I can’t go back, I can’t go back, my hometown is out of sight]

[God, save me, the cabin is crowded, corpses and cargo are piled up]

[They said, give up, give up, there is no hope of going home]
