It's almost like I'm a fairy

After the strong light, there is a buzzing tinnitus.

The ears seem to have turned into an echo corridor, and the buzzing sound almost makes people hallucinate.Qi Tianhe covered his ears, but the sound grew louder. He couldn't tell if it was an auditory hallucination, but there was a small fluctuation... like a plant breaking through the ground, or a silkworm chrysalis turning into a butterfly... In short, it was a movement that gave birth to a new life .

After an unknown amount of time, the shed shell fell to the ground, and the weak humming sound gradually replaced the strong humming sound at the beginning.

The sound source was too close to him, Qi Tianhe tried to open his eyes, and there was a burning pain in his eyes, as if he was facing the sun.

... A cicada chirped, it was daytime.

There is such a sentence about Tianhe's latest continuation in "Folk Tales of Strange Hunting".

"The test has begun."

The director's voice was not as angry as it was at the beginning, but with a smile on his face.

In the vast expanse of whiteness, Qi Tianhe didn't know that player No. 47 who was opposite him stood up slowly, grinning almost to the ear, repeating the same words: "The test has begun."

Wave after wave, the voices of several different NPCs overlapped, and the word test was repeatedly mentioned.

"Come with me." Although no one could see, player 47 still made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile, "I'll take you to the test."

His voice was getting farther and farther away, Qi Tianhe pricked up his ears, and could barely recognize the other party entering the elevator.Without a choice, he chose to keep up.

This time the elevator went up smoothly.

Qi Tianhe was standing near the door.He vaguely felt that the light was not so dazzling, so he tried to open his eyes... There are mirrors on both sides of the elevator, and a strangely smiling face is clearly reflected through the mirrors. with him.

The chill ran from the spine to the neck, Qi Tianhe suddenly remembered the existence of the witch general, and turned his head, the witch general was standing quietly beside him.

The sound of cicadas did not stop, and player 47 opened and closed his mouth exaggeratedly when he spoke: "Don't mistake someone."

The pronunciation of the word "person" is particularly heavy.

Is the person next to him a real witch general?

This idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and Qi Tianhe unconsciously leaned to the other side.

The witch general turned his neck slowly at this time, his sickly face was even more bloodless under the light of the elevator, his eyes were too dark like a female ghost, and the eyeballs did not move.

"Shadow." He suddenly said without emotion.

"What shadow?" Qi Tianhe continued to distance himself, but the space of the elevator was limited, and the distance between the two parties was less than half a meter.

The wizard asked, "Where is your shadow?"

Qi Tianhe was stunned for a moment, then his pupils trembled, and he turned his head sideways and turned around, only to find that he had no shadow.

...but there are witch generals, just on the oblique side.

The elevator door opened, and Qi Tianhe raised his head. It was obvious that after so long, he had only reached the thirteenth floor.

The strong light hit again, Qi Tianhe closed his eyes reflexively, and No. 47 smiled strangely: "Be careful, an area has been blasted through."

Everyone knows why the planning department is gone.

The footsteps of No. 47 were very light, and Qi Tianhe could feel another footstep behind him, and the last one to get out of the elevator should be the witch general.

"So what were you afraid of just now?"

Wu Jiang's unique cold voice floated from behind.

Qi Tianhe smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I might have scared you."

After a pause, he continued: "It's related to my special constitution. When encountering a place with too many ghosts, the ghost energy in the body will be out of balance, and it is easy to become a half-human and not a ghost state."

In the copy of the story, he has gone crazy several times, and if the truth is mixed, even the witch general can't fully distinguish it.

I recalled the location of the office area on the [-]th floor in my mind, and when I was about to reach that location, my footsteps stopped.

"Come on." The voice of No. 47 appeared ahead.

Qi Tianhe did not move.

"Hurry up, don't delay the test." No. 47 urged again.

Qi Tianhe: "There is no road ahead."

The smile on No. 47's face disappeared instantly, and he said with a gloomy expression, "There is no way, how did I get here?"

The faint humming of cicadas kept echoing in his ears, and Qi Tianhe couldn't help but replied: "You have wings, cicada's wings."

No. 47's mood changed quickly, and he laughed loudly. The stitches on his neck broke away due to violent tremors. He tilted his neck and said, "The computer is nearby, and you need to find one."

Wizard General: "And then?"

Number 47: "Enter the command, the command is 'layoff'."

After speaking, he had an expression of watching the show, ready to enjoy the scene of the two of them swaying around like headless chickens.

The actual situation of Qi Tianhe is more similar to that of a toddler, with very small steps, and the body only leans forward after a few seconds after the front foot is firmly planted.

The wizard seemed to be a little faster at this moment, but when he reached a certain place, he stopped suddenly.

Qi Tianhe: "What's wrong?"

"I can't tell." The witch general listened to all the small voices around him: "I don't feel very good."

I don’t know how many times the beautiful brows have been wrinkled today. Qi Tianhe is carefully thinking about whether there are any props that can resist the strong light. The parrot suddenly appeared like timely rain: "Back, turn left."

Qi Tianhe is ready to do as he says.

But the parrot suddenly said: "Go backwards, don't look back."

The witch general has excellent hearing, and when the sound of Qi Tianhe's footsteps moved away, he immediately understood what he was doing.

Qi Tianhe was about to remind him not to look back, but the wizard had already reacted one step earlier: "I can only go backwards, right?"

Qi Tianhe: "You know?"

General Wu: "Just trying to find a way to open my eyes for a few seconds, there are other colors in the white light, which is a safety sign. The head and body on it are reversed, which seems to be a warning."

The two retreated all the way, this feeling was extremely uncomfortable, and there was a sense of weightlessness, as if there was a cliff behind them.After walking about a hundred steps, the parrot reminded: "It's almost there, turn left."

Qi Tianhe's arms had been hanging stiffly on his sides all the time, and he would occasionally lift them up to check if there were any obstacles around him.

His fingers froze suddenly, this time what he touched was not air, but a door.

The cicada's chirping fluctuated, with a hint of sharpness mixed in with it. Qi Tianhe vaguely felt that the cicada's chirping on this floor was closely related to No. 47, or was affected by his mood.

At this moment, this cry clearly reveals fear.

Qi Tianhe raised the corners of his mouth slightly, the place where No. 47 didn't want them to go in should be the area where the computer is stored.

The corner of the table, the soft glass table mat, the keyboard... The hand poked forward a little bit, and finally touched the display screen.Now there is only one problem left, how to see things in strong light.

Qi Tianhe tried to cover a layer of blackout cloth in front of his eyes. This is the only item related to the light source that he found. It has little effect, but it is better than nothing. At least when he sees the cursor, it stops at the place where he needs to input commands.

With sore eyes, Qi Tianhe closed his eyes and slowed down, typing on the keyboard as fast as possible.

The witch general had finished typing at this time, and let out a sneer.

Qi Tianhe didn't type the last letter: "What happened?"

General Wu: "This word means dismissal. Could it be that you still expect to be able to offer something good?"

Qi Tianhe finally pressed the last letter, and squinted his eyes for a rough look. There are three questions:

1. How many steps are there in the stairs between the [-]th and [-]th floors?

2. After the golden cicada sheds its shell, what is the first thing it will do?

3. When is the best time to kill cicadas?

The writing at the bottom is illegible and bloody: If you answer wrong, you will be laid off by the company.

Being blinded, Qi Tianhe quickly closed his eyes: "I probably have some ideas about the second and third questions."

The shaman gave the keyword: "Human skin, during the day?"

Qi Tianhe nodded: "The golden cicada will put on human skin after shedding its shell, and No. 47 is the best example."

When he was on the twelfth floor before, he clearly heard the sound of cicadas shedding their shells, and number 47 had also exposed the fact that he had wings.As for the third question, it is equivalent to sending sub-questions. It is said in the mission prompt that daytime is always safer than nighttime.

When the player is safe, the situation of the NPC is often not so good.

Wizard general: "The troublesome thing is the first question."

It's funny to say that they once descended from the twelfth floor to the second floor, and then climbed from the second floor to the fifteenth floor, but they couldn't even tell the approximate number of stairs.

"Go and confirm." Qi Tianhe said.

Although it is a bad idea, there is no better way right now.

47 let out a shrill, exaggerated chirp when he saw them come out.

Qi Tianhe heard the taste of schadenfreude from it, and walked straight forward. Fortunately, the monster in the stairwell had disappeared. He strained his eyelids, and found that the white light seemed to be mixed with mist.The bleak and thick fog is like a flowing cloud, rising and falling, with a connecting point in the middle, and the whole looks like a monster's mouth.

Sadly the steps of the stairs are impossible to see in bright light unless you try it yourself.

"Blow up."

Two voices appeared at the same time.

Qi Tianhe turned his head in the direction of the wizard: "It seems that we have the same idea. If you blow up the stairs, the number of floors will be zero, which can save the process of counting."

"..."

What General Wu can be sure of is that if he had thought of such a way a few hours ago, the answer is self-evident who influenced him now.

Qi Tianhe was extraordinarily generous and didn't even mention the matter of asking the wizard to produce props, as if he had grasped the essence of the big dog.

"Please watch the fireworks." This sentence is for the parrot.

The second fire tree and silver flower was born today. He closed his eyes and didn't know what was going on, but there were crackling sounds one after another, and a stone flew towards this side when the stairs shattered.

Feeling the difference in air velocity, Qi Tianhe turned sideways and avoided it dangerously.

At the same time, there was a howl from below.

Qi Tianhe: "It seems that there is..."

Before the word 'person' is spoken, it is changed to 'ghost'. '

This sound really didn't seem like a human could make it. It was exactly the wail of a ghost before death in film and television dramas. It was not a mournful roar, but a purely eerie sound.

The wizard didn't care at all: "This ghost is at the end of the stairs, it should be waiting for us to fall into the trap."

The world is unpredictable, Qi Tianhe threw props indiscriminately, and it also suffered disaster.

Walking backwards, Qi Tianhe entered a spectacular zero when filling in the answer.

The cursor kept flickering, shaking randomly without anyone controlling it, as if the computer had a virus.

Qi Tianhe tried to press it, and at this moment, it completely crashed.

"Crap computer, crap company," he said.

Wu Jiang rarely said something human from the company's point of view: "The standard answer is fixed from the beginning, and we can't make a mistake if we fill it in now. For the program, it is difficult to make a judgment."

Qi Tianhe was thoughtful: "Understood, it is using the crash to evade responsibility."

"..." It was obviously running too fast, and it was eventually broken.

The light weakened a lot, and a line of writing suddenly appeared on a machine next to it: The first test has been completed.

The vision returned to normal, Qi Tianhe took off the blackout cloth, let the eyes adapt to the current brightness for a while.

No. 47 walked in with a coffin face: "The first phase of the test was successfully completed, and no problems have been found for the time being."

After speaking, take out two forms, ask them to tick the column of good system stability, and sign for confirmation later.

Qi Tianhe's expression was indescribable: "Is there any problem with the stability?"

It's obviously dead, isn't this talking nonsense?

No. 47 looked at him coldly: "If you want to retest at the current stage, I can report to the superior for approval."

Of course, Qi Tianhe would not ask for trouble. He was about to quickly sign the name of the person, but just as he landed a dot, the strokes were suddenly folded and changed to a number: 39.

Wu will also choose to sign the employee number.

The low air pressure around No. 47 became more and more obvious.

He is no longer a player, just like the parrot guessed at the beginning, because of Qi Tianhe's operation, the game uses the dead player No. 47 as the lead for the start of the new session, and the resentment of the original No. 47 is still there. Don't want to kill each other for a moment.

Naturally, Qi Tianhe would not be polite, and took advantage of the situation and said: "The scourge has been around for thousands of years, and Yuyou personally gave me the bastard's life."

The paper creaked, and Qi Tianhe kindly reminded: "The thread on your neck is open, how about I sew it for you?"

No. 47 refrained from doing anything, put away the signature form and stood aside.

General Wu sighed and opened the topic: "What's the next job?"

No. 47 hangs his face, with a cold attitude: "Free activities, waiting for the second round of testing to start."

After a while, the tone miraculously changed a little bit again: "The test will take a long time, it's best to eat something to replenish energy."

Qi Tianhe and Wu Jiang looked at each other, thinking of the last player who died from drinking water.

I have been busy with my life before, and my attention is completely on the other side. Now everything is temporarily calm, and I feel a strong thirst.The window sill was hot, even at night, Qi Tianhe had no doubt that the temperature outside was at least forty degrees.

A company without air-conditioning is like a large stove, even standing by the window, you will feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.

When Qi Tianhe opened his mouth to speak, he realized that there was a thin cut in his lips at some point, and it hurt when he touched it.

Wizard general: "According to the habit of cicadas, when they are larvae, they will absorb the juice from the roots of plants."

Qi Tianhe can be connected at one point. Judging from the experience of No. 47, players may turn into cicadas in human skin after death, but their current state is more like larvae before shelling.

Looking around, there are plants next to a few computers.There are various types, from cacti to bergamot, and there are several pots of flowers that cannot be named.

"I remember that the juice of most cacti is not suitable for drinking." Qi Tianhe looked at the other pots and shook his head.

The few pots of flowers that cannot be named are too gorgeous, and the first word that pops up in anyone's mind is not beautiful, but poisonous.

"The bergamot flower can be eaten in small quantities." He said to the wizard: "The premise is that it is the same species as the bergamot in the real world."

Who knows if the flowers and plants in the game have mutated.

Wu Jiang didn't pick the flowers and eat them right away, and neither did Qi Tianhe, thinking he could bear it any longer.

This forbearance lasted for an hour. Gradually, every time he took a breath, he could feel the dryness and pain in his throat. Qi Tianhe vaguely felt a faint smell of blood in his mouth.

After all, he took off a petal and tasted it. The water contained in it was pitifully small, and the process of absorbing water was like water droplets evaporated by the air, so fast that he didn't feel it.

With a heartbeat, he ate another petal, which relieved his thirst a little.

Noticing that Wu Jiang was looking at him with strange eyes, thinking that the other party was surprised by his risky behavior, Qi Tianhe said playfully: "In this world, the bold are always starved to death, and the timid are starved to death."

Wu Jiang shook his head with a strange expression, and said speechlessly: "Actually, you can go directly to drink water."

Qi Tianhe raised his eyebrows.

Wizard General: "In the last dungeon, the corrosion effect of black water is much stronger than that of poison, you'll be fine if you soak in it."

Even his body is filled with mysterious black energy, which can also have a corrosive effect.

"..."

The corner of Qi Tianhe's mouth twitched: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

The wizard said bluntly: "Someone is stupid and willing to be thirsty together, what reason do I have to stop?"

The voices of the conversation between the two were very soft, because their throats were sore, some words were written directly on the desktop, omitting the process of opening their mouths.

No. 47 stood outside the door and didn't hear the conversation between the two at all. Seeing that the time was about the same, Shi Shiran walked in: "The only edible flower is this pot."

They thought they had dropped a blockbuster, but who knew that the two sides had no intention of fighting for it.

No. 47's face sank: "This potted flower is only enough for one person to meet his urgent needs. There is another way to get clean water."

With a hoarse voice, Qi Tianhe asked cooperatively, "What way?"

"There is a chef in the cafeteria. He was there until 10:30. If any of you can find a hidden photo and give it to the chef, you will not only get ice cold water, but also listen to it from him. An interesting old story."

Qi Tianhe pushed the flowers to the side of the witch general: "It's all yours."

Walking to the water dispenser alone, the paper cup was almost overflowing, and gulped down in front of No. 47.

The burning throat met the cool water, as if he had stepped out of the boundless hot desert, Qi Tianhe drank a few more cups, and nothing happened.

At the beginning, the unlucky player spewed blood and died within ten seconds after drinking the water. Now Qi Tianhe has had several cups in a row without any abnormal reaction.

No. 47's eyes were wide open, and the red blood inside could be clearly seen, so he almost jumped up and questioned.

"How could you be fine?" he asked, raising his voice.

Qi Tianhe shrugged indifferently: "I said it a long time ago, I belong to the bastard."

Knowing that there was an error or omission in a certain link, but couldn't find it, No. 47 was so anxious that his eyes almost burst into flames.

When the two were fighting each other, the wizard had already calmly finished off the edible part of the bergamot.

Qi Tianhe noticed that No. 47 was much more irritable than before, and began to try to break through the opponent's psychological defense: "Is the second test about to start?"

No. 47 sneered: "You should feel fear."

"Really?" Qi Tianhe said indifferently: "One chirping of cicadas means daytime; two chirping of cicadas means eternal night... Before the coming of eternal night, it is your period of weakness."

No. 47 had an unbelievable expression on his face. He was even more terrified than seeing him drink water with his own eyes. He couldn't imagine where Qi Tianhe got this sentence.

The witch general also looked this way, their eyes met, and Qi Tianhe smiled slightly: "It just so happens that your organization's name also happens to be Yong Ye."

Time flows in silence, and no one dares to act rashly.

In the dead silence, No. 47 suddenly moved. It seemed that he was about to launch a surprise attack on them, but for some reason, he suddenly turned around and ran in a certain direction, spreading a pair of ugly fleshy wings behind him, which were not as thin as ordinary cicada wings.

The second chirping of cicadas began.

When the familiar clear chirping resounded, the whole building trembled slightly.

The aftershock was very strong, but the elevator door suddenly opened automatically at this time.

Qi Tianhe walked in, but the overweight alarm still didn't sound.He finally summed up the way of this dungeon, which is a continuous upward process, each floor has different tasks, similar to playing a game.

The fourteenth floor is the cafeteria, which was originally a level for players to obtain water, but it was not used.The elevator didn't stop at this floor, and went directly to the fifteenth floor.

The fifteenth floor was pitch black, almost to the point where you couldn't see your fingers.The two had just walked out when the elevator behind them suddenly lost power.

Any lighting props can't play a role in this area. Qi Tianhe relies on ghost fire to illuminate the road, and the light of the fire has weakened a lot, and the brightness is only enough to illuminate a distance of about a few meters.

Wizard general: "There are people in front."

Qi Tianhe got closer, raised his palm, and hit the man with the light.

Thin and long.

This description is very strange, but it is the most suitable. His figure has no curves and is extremely thin.However, it is different from the classic slender ghost in the movie, the whole person is floating.

"Since you have come to this floor, you must already know what happened to this building."

"Help me...revenge..."

The voice contained endless resentment and anger.

Hearing this, Qi Tianhe was stunned and swallowed: "Excuse me, what happened to this building?"

"Since you have come to this floor, you must already know what happened to this building."

"Help me...revenge..."

Completely reproduce the behavior of the NPC responsible for issuing tasks in ordinary games, just a few sentences back and forth.

The witch general raised his face and thought for a while: "The ghost on the thirteenth floor who was smashed together with the stairs should have information. The planning department originally had tasks, and there was also the earliest voting session... No. 47 also mentioned that the chef in the cafeteria had information. There is a story about the past..."

These links in series will be the background of the main line.

For example, in the last dungeon, one task followed another, and finally all the past events of Ah Huai and several students were revealed.

But in this game, Qi Tianhe almost crushed all links by violently pushing the tower, and went directly to the fifteenth floor.

Qi Tianhe was also stunned, and asked in confusion for the first time after a moment of silence: "What should we do now?"

So far, he has no idea what this dungeon is talking about, where the main line is, and he hasn't even seen a few NPCs.

The general Wu was expressionless: "You can work harder and try to destroy this building. It is impossible for the enemy to run outside."

"..."
