Infinite spooky game

Chapter 88 Hopeless Sea ([-]) Sacrifice-Sacrifice
Crises arise one after another, rules are full of traps, and experience may not be fully effective.

In the face of death, everyone is equal, no matter whether they are new or old.

The conversation between Qisi and Lu Li brought the hidden horror to the surface. With just a little thought, you can think of it: Even players at that level will die inexplicably, but what about the others?
Players consciously keep a distance from the corpse, and no one wants to be parasitized by the legendary "puppet thread".

When a person's experiences are all legends that cannot be verified, and his own existence is infinitely close to a false concept, others will always unconsciously deify him, and a kind of fear of keeping away from him will arise.

Because the players are spread out, the room is much emptier and no longer seems crowded.

Chiss walked to the low table next to the bedside table and opened the drawer.

As expected, a few pieces of yellowed retro manuscript paper lay quietly on the brown-black wooden grid, just shy of slapping the word "clue" on the player's face.

Hans killed the players near the altar because he knew more clues; and now that he is dead, the clues are in the drawer in his room...

Everything seemed so logical and reasonable.

Qisi lowered his eyes to suppress the haze in his eyes, took out the manuscript paper casually, and read out the content on it:
[Crouch actually wants to stay on the island. Has his brain been bitten off by Yuna? 】

[That woman always reminds me of the Siren in sailor rumors. She is so terrifying. It is a feeling that cannot be described in detail. She is definitely not a living person...]

[No, Crouch has also become scary, he has become a stranger, he has begun to adapt to this island... Habit, what a terrible word! 】

……

[I had that dream again. Poseidon’s eyes were watching me. I walked step by step to the center of the altar and was given the so-called sacred thing. 】

[He is tempting me, and I cannot go there, even if the ultimate answer I am pursuing is probably there... Many people have died, everyone has died, died in the altar, died under the temptation of Poseidon... 】

[Why do some people believe that an island without night is an adventure for explorers?Why do some people think that there is a legendary treasure hidden in the center of an isolated island? 】

……

[Crouch was looking at me, and I heard the sound of him swallowing his saliva. He wanted to eat me, just like he was munching on those fish meat a few days ago! 】

[But he was restraining himself and did not take direct force against me... It was definitely not out of morality. He seemed to be restricted by something. Was it the words on the stone tablet he saw when he went to the island? 】

[Today, he once again suggested that I go to the beach, and even said in a longing and nostalgic tone that we were so happy when we swam in the sea... I have a strong feeling that he is no longer him , and turned into something unknown! 】

……

[I heard the call of Poseidon, knowledge, mysticism, rituals... I learned a lot of things in an instant that I couldn't know before. It was a terrible feeling, but it was also wonderful. I can't describe it in detail. 】

[My memory is clearer than ever. Scenes from my childhood are vividly displayed before my eyes. I even remember the advice the old sailor gave me before I went to sea. 】

[Yes, I remembered that someone crossed this strange sea. He wrote in the logbook: Record the time from the time you land on the island. There will be an opportunity to leave the island every three days. By then the weather will be calm, even a small leaf A wooden boat can also cross the ocean...]

[That’s so ridiculous. Why did I happen to see this account and think of it at this moment?Are my memories real?Are my thoughts still my own? 】

[No, I have no other way, I have to leave... I have to...]

……

Like the previous clue, it was also a diary, but it belonged to another person, an unnamed person.

Preliminary judgment shows that the owner of the diary is a sailor who is familiar with Crouch, and his status should be high.

The handwriting on the back of the manuscript paper became increasingly messy, until only some illegible symbols remained.

Without the translation provided by Weird Game, Qisi thought he couldn't see anything more, so he simply passed the manuscript paper to Chang Xu beside him.

Chang Xu scanned it from beginning to end and passed it to Lu Li.

Soon, the manuscript paper was passed around among the players.

The text above records the writer's experience of being trapped on the island. Horrible situations that the players have encountered and have never encountered are vividly displayed on the page, bringing bad warnings and revealing hidden crises.

Lu Li pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow is the third day."

It is clearly written in the diary, "Record the time from the time you arrive on the island, and you will have a chance to leave the island every three days."

But who knows whether this information is true or false?This copy does not have the prerequisite "NPCs will not lie".

Qisi thought carefully and said: "If you miss tomorrow, you will have to wait three more days. The longer it takes, the more dangerous it will be. Moreover, many people may not have enough money to last that long."

When he clicked, Zhang Hongfeng immediately answered: "I can repair the ship today, and it will be no problem to set off tomorrow."

This time, no one raised any objection to leaving by boat; time was running out and there was no better option.

Qisi and Chang Xu mixed in with the crowd and went downstairs. As soon as they arrived in the hall, a pungent smell of fish hit their faces - the food was ready.

Now no one was polite, they all picked up their chopsticks to grab the small plate of seaweed in the center of the table, and each of them finished carving up the only vegetarian dish according to his or her ability.

Qisi put down his chopsticks and got off the table.His demand for food has never been large, and he would feel dizzy if he didn't eat for a day or two.

The other players, after struggling, reluctantly ate the remaining plates of fish.Maybe they were hungry because they didn't eat well in the previous few meals. After picking up a few chopsticks of fish, some people unknowingly ate a lot more, which was much more than before.The fishy smell is still pungent, and no matter how long the nose is soaked in this smell, it cannot force humans to adapt.

Chiss walked out of the hotel and took a deep breath.

Behind him, Chang Xu followed and asked, "What did you mean when you told me before, 'You only need to sleep for this amount of time every day'?"

"Literally." Qisi looked at him sideways with a sincere look, "I am a freelancer. I am used to sleeping until I wake up naturally every day, unlike your regular schedule."

Chang Xu had an intuition that Qisi was hiding some key information from him. Several scenes flashed through his mind. He raised his eyebrows slightly: "There's a problem with the timing, isn't it?"

"Guess." Qisi narrowed his eyes and smiled, looking over his shoulder and looking somewhere behind him.

If Chang Xu realized something, he immediately turned around and saw Angela with green hair walking over.

The girl smiled familiarly and said: "Two handsome guys, are you interested in going to the altar with me?"

"One of Xila's men has died, and there are two left. Aren't you afraid of being slapped like Lu Li?" Qisi said in a relaxed tone, "Or, you also have life-saving tools, so you are not afraid of death?"

"They won't dare to attack now, because they can't be sure whether we are bait." Angela narrowed her eyes, her expression flawless, "What's more, if you don't go today, there will be no chance, right? You should You’re not willing to give up the world view that’s so close to you, right?”

"Why do you want us to cooperate?" Qisi did not answer directly, but looked at her with a half-smile, "It is known that there are two 'puppet's among the players, and the probability that neither of us is a 'puppet' is only [-]%. Five, not even half, do you dare to bet?"

Angela smiled narrowly: "I can be sure that you are not. I have watched Chang Xu's live broadcast, and people in Xila generally don't broadcast live broadcasts."

That live broadcast that looks like playing monkey?Qisi glanced at Chang Xu next to him, his eyes filled with darkness, but with a smile on his face and teasing: "Brother Chang, your fan."

He had begun to regret that he had not taken a few more steps in "Rose Manor" and rushed into the room to give Chang Xu a touch-up.

This person is simply the biggest failure in his life, the source of all troubles, and an intolerable decision-making error... He must find a way to make up for it and put an end to this mistake.

Chang Xu didn't know that he had been included in the ranks of "people who must be killed" by Qisi. He looked at Angela for two seconds, and then cast a questioning look at Qisi.

He never refuses other players' requests for help and cooperation, but the current situation is different from before.

He doesn't know much about interpersonal communication, but he also knows that it is impolite to make a decision without discussing it when there are teammates.

Zis gathered his thoughts and looked at Angela again, his eyes were clear and clear: "The existence of the puppet master, the dangers mentioned in the diary, the loss of time and money... There are more and more crisis factors, and the probability of death has increased. It is far greater than the probability of cracking the world view and passing the level through the normal path.”

"You are worried that some players will harm others in a hurry and kill other players in order to trigger the guaranteed death toll mechanism. So, you want to gather a larger alliance group first and crack the world view, right?"

Angela nodded with a complicated expression.

Qiss asked back: "Have you ever thought that being the first to reach an alliance will become the target of public criticism?"

Seeing the contemplative expressions on the eyes of the two people around him, he continued: "There are ten players in total, not five or six; and among these ten there are two people from Xiela, who will definitely take the lead with zero-sum thinking. Exclude the strongest. Once the three-person alliance is reached, the outcome will most likely be that the three of us die together."

"After all, we are different from Lu Li and others. In the eyes of outsiders, we are familiar with each other in advance. We may even be stuck in the same dungeon deliberately through certain props. I don't know what we are planning."

He paused for a moment and sighed: "Besides, I don't think it is a wise choice to explore the altar. The diary has made it very clear that you will really die if you get close to the altar."

Angela smiled regretfully, exchanged a few more nonsense words, then ignored Qisi and turned back to the hotel.

Chang Xu remained silent, but he understood what Qiss meant, and immediately asked: "Why won't two people be targeted if they form an alliance? According to the gunman game theory, any alliance that is reached first may be attacked by other people. Of."

"Who said that the alliance between the two will not be targeted?" Zeiss sneered and laughed at himself, "As far as I know, I have been targeted. Whether I can survive this dungeon is anyone's guess."

Chang Xu heard the tragedy in the words, and his expression became serious: "Then why do you still want to live with me?"

"Hehe, hehe." Qisi sneered three times in standard tone, as if he was angry, and his tone was a little hurried, "Do I have any other choice? As soon as I entered the dungeon, you followed me just for that little thing. Anyone who is not stupid knows that we know each other. If we don’t leave together, what else is it if we don’t hide it? "

Chang Xu was silent. He thought about it carefully and couldn't find a reason to refute it, because what Qisi said was the truth.

He searched for the truth and followed Qis closely with the intention of monitoring and wooing him, but ignored the danger behind the incident.

At this moment, Qisi's attitude made him panic for no reason.

In his memory, this young man had always been calm and smiling, but this time he was so rude. It could only be that the situation was out of control, or even fatal...

Before Chang Xu spoke, Qisi took a deep breath and exhaled it, took a step back tiredly, and said: "It's useless to tell you this, the matter has not reached the point where it cannot be solved. We will separate from now on, and you can go again Once at the bell tower, no matter what method you use, bring down the skeleton from the top floor and place it in the center of the three points of the hotel, the bell tower and the altar."

"You may encounter many incomprehensible things next, and I don't expect you to trust me without reservation. If I really die here, even if I don't know people well, consider yourself unlucky."

He smiled, his pale face looking weak and weak, with an obvious forced composure: "That's all, Brother Chang, let's say goodbye."

Chang Xu was a little hesitant, but after seeing the urging look in the young man's eyes, he intuitively understood that the task assigned to him was extremely important. It might be the final way to break the situation and there was no room for error.

We have made a mess, and all we can do is try our best to make up for it.He thought bitterly and walked quickly towards the bell tower.

After Chang Xu's figure disappeared among the coconut trees, Qisi raised his hand and touched his face, removing the panic and helplessness on his face.

He turned back to the hotel, walked to Angela who was about to go out, smiled and asked, "Would you like to go to the altar together?"
