Puzzle games

The two stayed in Lacey for one night, and set off early the next morning to continue northward.

Because they had just entered the dungeon, they didn't have to worry about being pulled into the game again soon, and they had another night's rest, so they suggested him to drive during the day. Ye Zhao had no objection, and only said that he would replace them when they were tired.

The driving skills during the day can only be said to be okay. There was a four-seater scooter at home. After he went to college and got his driver's license, he would occasionally drive it to go shopping when he returned home during the winter and summer vacations. He sold the car two years ago after his parents had an accident. .

They arrived in Jinzhou after [-] o'clock in the evening on the third day.

This is one of the largest cities in North China other than Beijing. It is less than two days' drive away from Beijing. However, as soon as it entered the border of Jinzhou, it was stopped by people.

Those people obviously came prepared, the ground was covered with barbed wire, and it was dark, and Ye Zhao, who was driving hard, didn't press it directly, otherwise the tires of an SUV would be scrapped.

"Tsk tsk, the boy reacts very quickly!"

Four or five people quickly surrounded them, and one of them, a strong and powerful burly man, knocked on the window of the driver's cab.

Ye Zhao pressed down on the car window, his face was stern, and he pressed the saber behind his waist with his right hand where he couldn't see, and said with a little chill in his tone, "What's the matter?"

Probably seeing that Ye Zhao's complexion was not good, another middle-aged man with a friendly appearance hurriedly raised his hand and said, "You two are Ye Zhao and Tiantian, right? Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

After speaking, he pushed the strong man aside.

"How do you know our names? And a group of people forcibly stopped cars on the road at night. You said it was a misunderstanding?"

During the day, his eyes were full of vigilance. If he guessed correctly, these people should also be players, otherwise, who would notice him, a nobody?

"We can't help it. The boss wants to see you two. We have been waiting here for a day and a night after we learned that you are going to Beijing!"

The middle-aged man's tone was helpless. In order to let the people in the car put down their guard, he waved the other people back.

"How do you know we're going to Beijing?"

At this time, Ye Zhao also saw that the other party was not malicious, but still disagreed with this way of blocking people halfway.

"This..." The middle-aged man hesitated, as if he couldn't speak.

"We won't go with you if you don't tell me." During the day, he negotiated the terms very simply.

"It's You Ji."

The middle-aged man hesitated for a while before telling the truth: "After Zhai Tianlin's death, You Ji went around investigating players named Tian Tian and Ye Zhao, and vowed to avenge his brothers. This matter has spread throughout East China, so it is not necessary to inquire about your whereabouts. Not difficult."

It's not that You Ji didn't think about revenge during the day, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. He smiled coldly: "Then your boss wants to help him?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Mr. Bai, you misunderstood. We 'Survivors' just want to clear the dungeon and end the game with peace of mind. We don't advocate killing people to seize treasures, and we don't want to have any grudges with you."

"Why does your boss want to see us?" Ye Zhao suddenly asked.

"This...to be honest, I don't know. The boss only ordered us to pick up people here, and he said that we will find out when you go. In short, it must not be a bad thing." The middle-aged man folded his hands in front of him helplessly. , with a smile on his face.

During the day, he and Ye Zhao looked at each other, and said, "Okay then, how to get there?"

The "survivors" in the middle-aged population should be non-governmental organizations formed spontaneously by players.

At present, they know too little information about this "puzzle game". If they can meet more other players, there may be new clues.

As for whether it will be a Hongmen Banquet, Tian Tian knew that although his combat effectiveness was not good, he now had a lot of various props and skill cards. The reason for agreeing to go with the middle-aged man to meet their boss.

Those people also came by car, a black jade-colored Porsche Cayenne, which was parked on the side of the road not far away.

In order to prevent the two from going back on their word during the day, the middle-aged man asked to ride in the same car with them, while the others drove their own cars to lead the way.

"Since you know that we killed Zhai Tianlin, you still dare to sit in the same car with us, you are quite courageous..."

During the day, he looked at the luxury car in front of him with a half-smile, and then turned his gaze to the middle-aged man in the back seat.

Ge Hongming couldn't help shivering, but said honestly: "The boss said that you are not bad people."

Frowning during the day: "Your boss knows us?"

Ge Hongming didn't speak this time, but closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

He didn't ask any more after seeing the situation during the day, he had almost guessed who this mysterious "boss" was.

The destination was not far away. Two or 10 minutes later, the two cars drove into a small but quiet neighborhood and stopped in front of one of the three-story villas.

"This is where our boss stayed in Jinzhou, and it was temporarily changed to the base camp of 'Survivors'."

The real occupation of the middle-aged man is probably a negotiator or something, and the communication with the two of them was relatively smooth before, but now that he is back in his own territory, talking is even more refreshing.

After getting out of the car with Ye Zhao during the day, the strong men behind them still kept looking at them, their eyes were either curious, vigilant, or disapproving.

The two ignored it and walked into the villa under the leadership of the middle-aged man.

The decoration of the villa is very low-key, not luxurious, but anyone who knows the goods can tell at a glance that the random decorations in the living room are valuable and tasteful.

The middle-aged man beckoned them to sit down on the sofa, and soon a woman in her early forties came out of the kitchen with two plates full of dishes.

"You guys are with Ye Zhao during the day, right? Have you had dinner yet? We're about to have dinner, let's have some together!"

Before the two of them spoke during the day, the middle-aged man hurriedly asked the woman, "Is the boss here?"

The woman shook her head: "The boss called early in the morning and said that he will pick up another person, and he will probably be here soon."

"Who wants the boss to pick it up in person?!"

The middle-aged man seemed very surprised. The next second he realized that there was a stranger there, he shut up and stopped talking.

Listening to their conversation calmly during the day, the corner of his mouth raised a strange arc.

Just as he was thinking, the sound of car tires rubbing against the ground came from outside the door, and then two young men, one tall and one short, appeared at the gate of the villa.

"It really is you!" Bai Tian sat without moving, looking at the person with no expression on his face.

"You already guessed it was me?!" The tall man raised his eyebrows at him unexpectedly.

"Your subordinates are all players, and you don't want to reveal the identity of the boss. You only said that you will know when you come, and you also said that we are not bad people. Obviously, they should be people I know in the game.

If we further narrow the scope, this is Jinzhou, which is very close to Lacey, so it is very likely that this person has just experienced the same instance with us.

Coupled with having enough financial resources to buy millions of luxury cars and villas in the rich area of ​​Jinzhou, there will not be more than three people who meet these conditions. "

I scanned around the living room during the day, and said casually: "The Zhang Siji brothers and sisters have my contact information, just call if you have something to do, there is no need to use this method of human robbery, then the only thing left may be you Yes, big star."

"Daytime is indeed daytime!"

Li Yilan took off the brown sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, threw them on the sofa, stepped forward with her long legs, and pushed the silly and dazed companion beside her to the dining table.

"I'm starving to death. In order to rush to Qingshi to meet Xiao Siyan, I didn't have time to eat breakfast, so I drank a few sips of mineral water at noon."

That's right, the shorter young man who came in with Li Yilan was Wen Pengpeng.

Four-Eyed Boy was still a little dazed, but seeing Li Yilan assuming he had something to eat before he said hello to them weakly, he sat on the chair like a good baby.

During the day, he frowned, and then quickly stretched out.

Forget it, if it comes, let it go, no matter what tricks Li Yilan plays, he has a way to pry the truth out of the other party's mouth.

Li Yilan asked Ge Hongming to call the strong man Xu Wei and the others down for dinner, while she went to the kitchen to help Aunt Wen serve dishes.

Bai Tian sat on the right side of Wen Pengpeng, Li Yilan took the main seat on the other side of the latter, and Ye Zhao sat next to Bai Tian.

People sat at the table one after another, no one spoke, only the sound of tableware colliding and swallowing food.

Aunt Wen's craftsmanship is very good. She can cook during the day, but her level is average. She lives alone, and most of the time she orders takeaway or eats out.

Ye Zhao pretended to be nonchalant and put a piece of Coca-Cola chicken wings in his bowl. After more than half a month of getting along, he basically figured out his life preferences during the day.

Knowing that he is a picky eater, he does not eat onion, ginger, garlic, spicy food, fishy food, green pepper, or lettuce, but he rarely shows it, so it will give people the illusion that he eats everything and is easy to feed.

If it wasn't for Ye Zhao's attention, it would be really hard to notice this. He would frowned slightly during the day when he encountered something he didn't like, and then ate it slowly.

Because garlic can kill bacteria and protect the liver, green peppers are rich in vitamin C, although these things can't taste anything in his mouth, like chewing wax.

At this moment, during the day, I was chewing a handful of shredded lettuce coldly with no expression on my face. When I saw the chicken wing that suddenly appeared on the white rice, my heart warmed up, and I silently put it in my mouth, squinting my eyes because it was delicious.

The corners of Ye Zhao's lips rose.

Xu Wei, Ge Hongming and the others knew that their boss had important matters to discuss with these guests, so they left after eating, and Aunt Wen also went back to the kitchen to clean up the dishes.

Li Yilan raised his chin at the three of them to signal them to follow him.

After "Survivor" was established, other players lived on the second floor of the villa, and the third floor was his private space.

Li Yilan took them to the study room, each found a place to sit down, and cut straight to the point during the day: "What do you want us to do here?"

The big star didn't answer right away, but put his hands on his lap in a tower shape, as if he was thinking about his words.

There was no urging during the day, but the eyes were firmly locked on him, and the sharp eyes were as real as they were.

Li Yilan felt an invisible sense of oppression, smiled wryly, and said, "During the day, I am not hostile, on the contrary, I want to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation?" Bai Tian sneered, "I don't think there is anything I, an unknown person, can cooperate with a big star."

Li Yilan knew that the other party's tone of being robbed halfway was still there, but this matter was indeed unscrupulous, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "You can listen to my sincerity first."

"Oh?" Bai Tian raised his brows, retracted his aggressive gaze, and returned to his usual indifferent appearance.

Li Yilan's expression suddenly became solemn, and his voice was also a little serious.

"By the day, how much do you know about 'puzzle games'? Have you ever wondered why we are drawn into this game? Or what is the rationale for players to enter this game?"
