The Trial Game of Life

The second level, Soul Cemetery.

On the way to find the tombstone of the "affectionate boy", Tang Cuo experienced another tombstone explosion.At this time, there are 73 tombstones left, and the remaining five are less than 5% of the battery.

Among these tombstones, Tang Cuo certainly does not have a WeChat account called "Affectionate Boy", nor has he seen the face of an Affectionate Boy in a short video shot by a crowd of onlookers, but he must have been near Xishan Road, so Definitely in the cemetery.

What else is there to do with affectionate teenagers?

No, Tang Cuo couldn't find any relevant clues, but saw the wechat group chat records of those plastic sisters.But this time, Bubble Qi was not inside.

Listener: Can any of you make that Bubble Qi shut up?Why, I believe that everyone is not really malicious, what we are all friends, is she the only one who can talk?I almost vomited.

Poetry and Yuanfang: @聚食的小狐狐, are you familiar with her?

Greedy little fox: Didn't you pull her into the group?

Shihe Yuanfang: But she said she was friends with you, so I pulled her!

Greedy little fox: I'm not familiar with her, I've never seen her before!

Listener: Wait, you are not familiar with her? ? ?

……

After some discussions, several people finally discovered an amazing fact.

Listener: Who is Pao Pao Qi?You haven't seen her?Then why is she in our group?

Three question marks in a row can be called soul torture.They all thought that someone else knew Pao Pao Qi well, so they pulled her into the group, but it turned out that no one had ever seen Pao Pao Qi, and they didn't even know her last name.

Immediately afterwards, there was deep thought and fear.

A stranger, mixed in their group, kept saying that they were friends, and got along with them for more than a month.During this process, she didn't show the slightest difference, and she knew everyone well.

The listener seems to have a bad temper, so he immediately went to the group @糖球琪 and asked who she was.

Bubble Qi replied quickly.

Bubble Qi: I am your friend.

Listener: Fart!Where did my old lady come from as your friend? !

Bubble Qi: Don't you want to be my friend?

Listener: Get out of my circle of friends quickly, I don’t know why you add me, are you sick?

The listener did what he said, and wanted to delete Pao Pao Qi as a friend.What Tang Cuo was looking at was her WeChat interface, and he watched with his own eyes the operation to unfriend her appear on the screen.

But a strange scene happened.

No matter what the listener tries, the account cannot be deleted.It was like a virus had grown in her phone, no, it might have been some kind of implanted virus.

After going through this series of operations on the mobile phone of Listener, the chat box with Pao Pao Qi suddenly popped up.

Bubble Qi: Don't you want to be friends with me?

Bubble Qi: Why did you delete me?I just want to be your friend.

Bubble Qi: Why?

Bubble Qi: Aren't we good friends?

Bubble Qi: Why are you doing this to me?

Pao Pao Qi: You must have slipped your hand, right?We are best friends, right?

Listener: You're crazy!Are you crazy!

Pao Pao Qi: I'm not crazy, I'm your friend.

Bubble Qi: Let's continue to be friends, shall we?

……

The screen is full of words, and they are constantly refreshing, which makes people suddenly feel chills.

Tang Cuo squinted his eyes, watching those similar words, he got up suddenly, went back to find Pao Paoqi's cell phone tombstone.He quickly found the group sending function, edited a piece of content, and clicked send.

Bubble Qi: Do you know me?Do you know who I am?

But half a minute later, the overwhelming replies almost overwhelmed WeChat.Of course, the tombstones in the soul cemetery will not have the risk of jamming. Tang Cuo quickly browsed through the replies. He doesn't need to click on them one by one. He can know the general content just by looking at the preview.

In the beginning, everyone's replies were quite normal: Aren't you just Pao Pao Qi?

But then, who is Pao Pao Qi?

Many people began to recall it.

Creme Brulee: Who are you?Why is it in my address book?

Code 007: Who are you?

Wait: Dumb said you were not his friend, who the hell are you? !

Perpetual chicken: I asked all my friends and no one knew you. My account only adds friends around me!How did you get in there?I remembered, you told me happy birthday last time, you said you would send me something, and I even gave you the address, but I have never seen you!

Daydreamer: Express delivery?Do sales?If you don't reply, I will delete you!

……

Countless questions and doubts flooded the phone,

Tang Cuo tried to outline the true image of Pao Pao Qi in his mind.As a third-rate detective, he has never studied psychology and cannot draw portraits of criminal minds, but he can roughly imagine what kind of person she (he) is.

Let's set her as a female for now.

She has no friends, maybe hides in a room without light all the year round, is unkempt, and lacks confidence in her appearance.But it doesn't matter, she found a lot of "friends" on the Internet.

She wantonly invaded their circle of friends and unilaterally declared to be their friend, maintaining a beautiful illusion because she was lonely.

Did she do anything specifically bad?It seems not.

It's more like a voyeur of life.

The message was sent by Tang Cuo, and of course Pao Paoqi would not reply.And just when Tang Cuo was about to leave, a message reply caught his attention.

Happy family: Jiajia, what's wrong with you?Why did you send that message all of a sudden, Jiajia?

Happy Family: Don't scare Dad

Happy family: [voice]

Happy family: [voice]

Both voices lasted more than 1 minute, and this person claimed to be Pao Paoqi's father. Tang Cuo guessed that this might be the only person related to her in reality.

He immediately turned on the voice, and the anxious middle-aged male voice rushed into the eardrum with a bit of roughness.

"Jiajia? Are you okay, Jiajia? Is something wrong? If you hear the news, please reply to Dad immediately, do you know? Did you see something on the Internet? Or did you hear what the neighbors said again? Jiajia, don't think too much .You're a good boy, you're just a little shy, they don't understand you, they say bad things so they're all bad people, you're a good boy, so don't listen, you know..."

"Jiajia, Dad is still driving a taxi. I'll go back right away after picking up this customer. I'll wait for Dad at home, you know? It's raining heavily outside now, and there is traffic jam on Xishan Road ahead. It may take a while for Dad to come back. So you don’t go out no matter what you hear, you know? No matter who knocks on the door, don’t open it, if you have anything to do, call 110, Dad will be back soon—”

Before he finished speaking, the sound of opening the door came from the voice.The moment the car door was opened, the sound of the rain suddenly amplified, showing that it was still raining heavily on Xishan Road at that time.

It should be because of a rear-end collision when there was a traffic jam, one of the long lines of cars belonged to Pao Pao Qi's father.

This is a taxi driver.

Judging from his words, there was already a guest in his car.The two voices were indeed mixed with a young man's slightly anxious self-talk, and there was a very small clicking sound from something unknown, but at this moment the door suddenly opened.

The door opened, heavy rain drifted into the car, and an uninvited passenger broke into the taxi that was already carrying passengers.The reason why it is said that someone got on the bus instead of the customer getting off the bus is because at the end of the voice, a third person's voice appeared.

It was a cold "Farewell", accompanied by the sound of clothes rubbing and the sound of the young man's gasping, the voice stopped abruptly.

What will follow the word "don't"?do not move?keep quiet?

Near Xishan Road, the uninvited guest in the heavy rain, except for the murderer Tang Cuo, can't think of other candidates for the time being.The murderer exposed his identity because of a dog and fled by abandoning the body.

The heavy rain and the sea of ​​umbrellas gave him good cover. He fled all the way and got into a taxi in a panic.

What does he want to do?

The car was blocked on the road, but if the murderer could get into the car at this time, there is a high probability that the car was parked in the lane next to the road.Even if the road is blocked, you can drive on the non-motorized lane.

A vicious murderer doesn't care about any rules.

What's next - the car chase?

and many more.

Tang Cuo suddenly remembered something, turned on the voice again and listened to it again.He listened carefully, over and over, until he could pick out the little click in the background.

"Click."

"clatter."

"Da da da."

"Click."

These voices are not the same, some are crisper, some are more coherent, and they sound like a decompression Rubik's Cube.Tang Cuo remembered that Xiao Tiantian's European purchasing agent once said that he wanted to keep the generous customers who bought rain boots, so he gave him a decompression Rubik's cube as a small gift.

Tang Cuo once had such a gadget, which was about the size of a walnut and could be held in his hand to play with.Each side of the Rubik's Cube is different, with balls, pinions, and joysticks, etc., making slightly different sounds.

In other words, the affectionate boy was in the car, and he was the original guest in the car.

The rain boots bought by the affectionate boy were worn by the murderer again, and the murderer happened to get into his car again. Is this accidental or a special response?Tang Cuo never felt that the Affectionate Youth Club was with the murderer, but he also didn't feel that his appearance near Xishan Road was accidental.

So, what is the relationship between the two of them?

Tang Cuo rubbed his chin, and started to deduce again - from the moment the murderer was hit by a dog to when he got into a taxi, the time must not be long, it happened in a short period of time.

It takes time to transmit information on the Internet, that is to say, the clues of the rain boots have not been picked up at this time.Stories about the crate of dismembered corpses were just beginning to circulate.

There were three people in the car, Pao Pao Qi's father, the affectionate boy, and the murderer.

Among them, only Paoqi's father seems to have nothing to do with this matter.Tang Cuo has no impression of the WeChat account "Happy Family", but he has seen a related account in a mobile phone tombstone.

A map software, the registered name is "Happy Family".The map software is also very compatible with taxi drivers.

He quickly found the cell phone tombstone, opened the map software and saw the real-time location, the location was on a bridge one kilometer away from the corner of Xishan Road.There is also a red sign on the bridge, indicating that an accident has occurred here and one person has died, reminding car owners to drive carefully.

And the time at this time is 54:[-] in the afternoon.

Reorganize the timeline.

At 13:03, the game anchor was killed.

At 13:15, the audience called the police.

Immediately afterwards, the murderer appeared at the intersection of Xishan Road pushing the foam box containing the corpse, and the police who received the report also passed by here.Combining the time when the murderer's body was dismembered and the time when the police came out, it was at least after 13:30.

At 13:54, the taxi had stopped on a bridge not far from Xishan Road.In other words, if the murderer was really in the taxi, he didn't get far at all and stopped again.

Whether the taxi had an accident or the taxi was stopped by an accident, the most important value of this clue lies in the fact that the third deceased finally appeared.

who died?

Today's map software is very developed, and with the support of big data, the update of accident warning is very fast.If the taxi skids and hits the side of the road, causing accidents and congestion, it will be quickly reflected on Paoqi's father's mobile phone.

Tang Cuo was more inclined to believe that one of the three people in the car died, rather than an innocent passerby.

After the bold reasoning, it is a violent proof.

Tang Cuo decided to take a gamble. It is very slow to rely on reasoning and evidence for everything. As a third-rate detective, he has to take an unusual path.

Right now, both the murderer and Pao Pao Qi's father's cell phone tombstones have been found. On the premise of trusting your own judgment, there is a two-thirds probability that you can give it a try.

At this time, three and a half hours had passed since the dungeon started, and there were still two and a half hours before the customs clearance, and the progress was over half.

The first level, the bifurcation of life, has 28 players, and the remaining 24 people.

The second level, Soul Cemetery, one person is still alive.

The third level, the human information transfer company, 25 players, all destroyed.

In the fourth level, the world is a mental hospital, with 42 players and 23 remaining.

A total of 96 players, 46 died, and 46 remained, exactly half.

It is also rare for Xiao Tong to see such a coincidental number. He thinks it may be God's will in the dark.

But just when he stood up from his seat and reached out to Tangcuo's surveillance screen, he suddenly sensed something and turned his head to look in the direction of the prison gate.

After a long time, he smiled with a profound meaning.But at the same time, he withdrew his hand and sat back on the chair again.

In the first level, sharp-eyed players also noticed that Mr. Crow had suddenly disappeared.Jin Cheng glanced back, thoughtful, but the enemy was in front of him, so he didn't have time to delve into it.

No matter what happened, they will only know after they clear the copy.

Without Mr. Crow, Wujie returned to Xiaotong's hands after the holder died.Jin Cheng had no delusion that he could stay Wujie. In the final analysis, their players and the NPCs in Eternal Night City are not in an antagonistic relationship, and there is no need to fight against each other over a piece of equipment.

After Wujie disappeared, everyone's pressure dropped sharply, and the team advanced faster, passing two forks in a row within 10 minutes.

Casualties are of course inevitable.

When the middle-aged crisis hit the straight road ahead, there were many forks in the road, and the players looked at the different road signs one by one, and their hearts were shaken again.

"Can you stop and rest for a while?" A sweaty 30-year-old man called out to Jin Cheng who was in front of him. He was panting. recovered.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Jin Cheng in unison, with anticipation on their faces.Jin Cheng turned his head and said calmly, "I can't."

The man's face changed, and he said anxiously: "Why not? We've been playing for almost four hours straight, and everyone has reached their limit. We can clear the level in two hours, so it's okay to take a break?"

"Yes." Another person quickly chimed in, "There's no need to hurry, if you can't rest, the casualties will be even heavier!"

"Do I need to be responsible to all of you?" Jin Cheng asked back.

The players were stunned, and no one spoke for a moment.

"This road is very long. I know everyone is very tired. You can choose to rest, but I have to go to the end of the road. If I want to go, I must go." Jin Cheng smiled suddenly and shrugged. Shrugged, "If you don't go, you can't let me go, right?"

Everyone couldn't refute for a while.

Jin Cheng didn't give them a chance to talk nonsense at all, he turned around and left, simply and neatly.Leng Miao didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and his expression didn't change much. He even left earlier than Jin Cheng.

The two bosses left, and the rest of the players looked at each other in blank dismay.Within a few seconds, several players gritted their teeth and stood up, walked to Hei Resolute with a little bit of a path, and followed.

The rest of the players hesitated to take a step, not knowing where to go.Everyone was discussing and discussing, and then they quarreled because of disagreements. After about ten minutes, several players who were obviously a team broke away from the main team and walked to the far left, which they thought was the easiest path.

"Mr. Crow said, the more people there are, the more monsters you will encounter, so it's better for us to disperse. And without Jin Cheng and Leng Miao, our current strength is relatively balanced, and there should be no such thing as unstoppable .”

The team has since dispersed.

21 players, divided into three paths.But there are forks after forks, and it is not known how many roads there will be in the end.

The third level, the world is a mental hospital.

The woman eventually survived.Zheng Yingying's knife successfully killed the contents of her stomach. Her stomach was still big, but at least it wouldn't hurt anymore. The two medicines were poured down, and her bloodline was also suspended.

After this incident, the atmosphere in the ward became better and there was no more tension, but Zheng Yingying still did not form a team with them in the end.On the one hand, she had the confidence to suppress Meng Yufei once, but she didn't have the confidence to suppress him all the time. In the end, Qian Wei might still die.On the other hand, isn't it true that the people in Ward 304 won't attack them in turn?

Not necessarily.

When the one-hour time limit was up and the monster doctors were busy making ward rounds, Zheng Yingying took Meng Yufei straight to the dean's office on the top floor.Seeing that the mobs can't be killed, if they encounter a situation like Ward 304 again, if the delay is too long, it's better to be a big one, and catch the thief first.

Back then, she was locked inside and couldn't escape because she was young and weak. Now she is holding the Nameless Blade, like an avenger. She not only wants to escape from here, but also kills it.

She doesn't have the ability to kill all the monsters one by one, but if she only kills one, it's okay.
