The NPC Was Once Again Frightened By Me

Near midnight, Lin Huai sat on the bed, thinking.

"Chunyu Apartment really deserves to be a mid-level dungeon." He flicked his phone with his index finger, thinking, "A single-player dungeon is a ghost of an entire apartment building. will be killed by them."

Chu Tianshu lay beside his bed and made a sound: "Ordinary players don't want to kill ghosts."

Lin Huai ignored him and continued to think.

For ordinary players, the difficulty of this dungeon mainly exists in the following stages.

First of all, the first part of the difficulty exists among all households.

From 201 to 702, according to Lin Huai's calculations, there are ten registered residents in this building.

Without exception, these residents have all died and become terrifying ghosts.

According to Lin Huai's visit and observation on this day, they seem to awaken their memories of being ghosts only when the key point of their death is mentioned.

This includes but is not limited to, the woman in 701 died in the fire, her entire face was burned and her hair was dry. The white-collar workers in 601 died from the attack of the evil spirits in the wall—this is also related to the curse brought by the "two and a half roses".Therefore, when Lin Huai mentioned the wall, the white-collar workers in 601 showed an obvious ghost-like yin.

It can be seen that there is a trigger point for these ten residents to awaken their memories of being ghosts.And this trigger point is most likely related to the way they died, and something around them.

Otherwise, if there is no specific trigger point, but all ghosts can randomly awaken memories...then the possibility of random sudden death of players is too high.

The rules given by the system, while bringing terror, also bring protection to the players.The system is actually very fair - if you fail to complete the task, you will die suddenly.If you can get to the heart of the mission and use it, you can survive.

In the same way, it can be proved that the trigger point of the ghost of the lover woman in 702 may be related to the white suitcase she took away from 201.The ghost trigger point of the woman in the blue sweater is related to the smell of formalin on her body.Fatty's ghost trigger point may have something to do with his weight, or the stinky garbage he piled up in his room.The single mother who lives in 301, the trigger point of the ghost may be related to the little girl in the padded jacket who followed her.

Therefore, as long as Lin Huai can figure out a way to get their ghost trigger points without disturbing the ghosts, and avoid triggering them for the next month, and at the same time take all the horrors in the apartment to himself, then , it was quite easy for him to complete the first task.

And it's not false propaganda, because he is a real ghost.Treating clients frankly should indeed be the life attitude of a property manager.

Considering the setting of the difficulty of the game, the system should have set two task failure trigger points for each of the ten residents—one is to wake up as a ghost, and the other is to leave the apartment as a human.

Leaving the apartment as a human being is not difficult to understand.There are countless ghosts lurking in the apartment, and there are nine other residents who are all ghosts. In addition to the various mutations in oneself, it is an individual who will find that this series is not right and choose to run away.

For ordinary players, if they want to stop these residents from running away, they can only rely on verbal persuasion.However, Lin Huai is different from them. He can not only persuade verbally, but also physically persuade.

Not only that, but he can also send many subordinates to follow up these residents who go out to work.Including but not limited to Yan Xi, Mei Ying, Lan Xiang, Mo Zhu, Zhou Ying and other ghosts.

Lin Huai suddenly felt deeply that his subordinates were not enough.

We have to find a way to add more men.He thought, if he entered a big scene in the future, such a small number of people would not be enough at all.

"...It's just that it may be quite difficult to count the trigger points of all the ghosts." Lin Huai sighed.

And so far, this theory about the "ghost trigger point" is also a preliminary problem-solving idea based on the hypothesis that "the system is not so dog".Lin Huai could not fully confirm his opinion.

At the same time, since there are so many ghosts in this apartment building, the point that "everyone died in the fire on the same day" is very debatable.

At present, in Lin Huai's view, there are two possibilities for the death of these ten people.

So far, the only person who can be confirmed to be burned alive by the fire is the first love girl in 701.The dust on the hair of the white-collar woman in 601, and even the strong formalin smell on the woman in the blue sweater in 502, all indicate that they "did not die in the fire".At the same time, if a fire can end everyone's life, then the red suitcase carried by the 702 woman is meaningless.

Based on these two scenarios, several possibilities can arise.

Thinking of this, Lin Huai got up from the bed.Chu Tianshu followed behind him, looking up to see him take out the pen and paper.

Lin Huai wrote a "1" and a "2" on the paper.

The first possibility is that they did die on the day of the fire, but not everyone died in the flames.

Maybe they were all trapped in each other's rooms when the fire came. When the 601 white-collar woman was avoiding the fire, she bent down, covered her mouth and nose, and walked along the wall, but was pulled into the wall by the evil spirit behind the painting.

The couple in 701 was swallowed by the box while hiding, and eventually died in the box with twisted hands and feet.

As for the woman in the blue sweater...

"Formalin is flammable and explosive, and its explosion limit is 7%~73%." Chu Tianshu said suddenly, "If a large amount of formalin is stored in that woman's room, when a fire breaks out, The woman's room is very prone to explosions, and based on this judgment, the woman in the blue sweater is very likely to be involved in the fire."

When Lin Huai turned his head, the black and white husky wagged its tail and raised its chin proudly.

He looked very proud, and Lin Huai then said: "...Although I feel that your reasoning is very reasonable, but I don't know why, but I always feel that it is a bit too scientific."

Chu Tianshu: "Is there?"

"Generally speaking, after smelling the smell of formalin in the infinite stream dungeon, players will only make the following judgments." Lin Huai wrenched his fingers, "The first one is that this woman is dead, Formalin is what she uses to keep herself fresh."

Chu Tianshu shook his ears.

"The second is that this woman is using formalin to preserve something. It can be said that the preservation and antisepsis functions of formalin are their value in the infinite stream copy. It is not flammable and explosive... ..." Lin Huaixu raised his eyes and said, "However, this point can also be taken into consideration."

As he spoke, he tapped the table with his fingers.

"As for the second possibility of these people's deaths, they were..."

"Already dead?"

Chu Tianshu took up Lin Huai's words.

"They were killed by ghosts before the fire broke out. Or, only a small number of residents are still alive. Residents who were killed by ghosts have no consciousness of their own death, and continue their lives like walking corpses " Chu Tianshu said slowly, "Until that big fire..."

Lin Huai: "Big fire?"

"The fire destroyed all the evidence." Chu Tian spread his paws, "Everyone was turned into ashes, and the police could not analyze the time of death of each person from the ashes, so they wrongly judged that they died in In the fire."

Chu Tianshu's description sent a chill down Lin Huai's spine.

An apartment building, a brightly lit apartment building, an apartment building where people come in and out from the eyes of outsiders...

However, I don't know when, there are only living corpses in this apartment building.They wandered through the apartment like ghosts until... finally a fire broke out.

The fire concealed the truth of the death, so no one knew that the residents had lost their lives long before they were reduced to ashes.

"Actually, I prefer the first guess—that no one died before the fire broke out." Chu Tianshu looked at Lin Huai, "This way your work will be easier to carry out."

His meaning is self-evident.If it meets the second conjecture - everyone has died prematurely.Based on the uncontrollability after death and the repetition of history (these people who repeat the behavior of the month before death may be killed by the cursed object as they were in this month), it is difficult for Lin Huai to guarantee that these people will not become ghost.Therefore, he needs to spend a lot of time to ensure the survival of these people in advance.

"But," Lin Huai said slowly, "if everyone is dead, what's the point of setting fire? Destroying the corpses and eradicating traces?"

He thought for a while, and then said: "Since the system has given us the task of investigating the truth of the fire, the truth of the fire is definitely not without logic. There must be logic and events behind it. As for these logics, they must be different from this one." It is related to the residents in the building."

"Or it may be related to the ghosts in this building." Chu Tianshu added, "The little girl behind the single mother, the ghost that may exist in the elevator, the fourth floor that does not exist, the person in the wall of 701, or... "

"Room 202." Chu Tianshu blinked, "My intuition tells me that room 202 is very problematic."

"Then the problem turns to the third task." Lin Huai simply put down the pen in his hand, and he looked down at Chu Tianshu, "According to the first guess that everyone is not dead, we need to pass the third task. The one who solves the puzzle, the one who started the fire, is very likely to be one of the ten residents of this building. After all, just looking at today's short day, you can see that there are many contradictions between them."

"The first contradiction is the contradiction between the two men and one woman on the seventh floor. Two men and one woman are the most unstable relationships in the world, including but not limited to "Day in ○ Garden", "White ○ Book", etc. A work that reflects a campus romance..." Lin Huai said blankly, "From the perspective of the instigator of the fire, these three people are extremely suspicious."

"Suspect a, female 702. She is ordinary-looking, obsessed with plastic surgery, and has a strong jealousy towards female 701. And her boyfriend doesn't seem to be very loyal to her. In this case, she It is very possible that the fire was caused by jealousy. At the same time, this also coincided with the deep resentment of the 701 woman. Among all the residents, only her face was the most severely burned, which is most likely caused by the 702 woman. jealousy."

"Suspect b, male 702. From the short conversation, we can see that he is eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. He is most likely a man with soft rice. If female 702 runs away from home and wants to break up with him, He watched the cooked duck fly, and he would probably jump over the wall for money, quarrel, and eventually lead to a fire—this can also be the resentment of the 701 woman. The ex and the ex-girlfriend quarreled, but caused himself to be burned Death, her anger is understandable."

"Suspect c, female 701. In any case, it is too coincidental that she lives on the same floor as this couple. It is hard to imagine that this is not intentional. There was great malice in the relationship between the two, and when the two were about to reconcile, they were killed in anger."

"The dispute between the 601 woman and the 602 man may also be the start of the fire. After all, the garbage-filled living conditions of the 602 man are flammable, and the roses on the 601 woman's wall are as red as flames, and there are constant quarrels between them. The 602 man is obviously at the bottom of the food chain in the entire apartment, and the man in the baseball cap and the white-collar woman are all mocking and ignoring him. If he decides to take revenge on everyone in the apartment, it is justifiable to set fire to it.”

"501, the cause of death of the baseball man is temporarily unknown. 502, the smell of formalin, is not a good sign."

"As for 301 and 302...the painter, there is no flaw for the time being. However, the paint and paper of the oil painting are flammable. As for the 301 side, the little ghost girl may also carry out the attack for the purpose of revenge. set fire."

"As for 201... I haven't been able to contact the woman in 201 yet. And 202 next to her, or SOS, is also very weird."

As Lin Huai spoke, his eyelids began to twitch.Seeing his appearance, Chu Tianshu rubbed his hand: "Go to sleep?"

Then, he comforted: "There is still a lot of time, and you don't have to rush and try to reason out all the answers within a day."

"Oh?"

Lin Huai looked at him, with a sticky and sleepy voice: "I thought you would be the one who was more anxious to end the dungeon?"

Chu Tianshu: ...

"You underestimate me." Chu Tianshu said, "Anyway...you are by my side."

He has a very unrestrained attitude, he doesn't seem to care that he has become a dog, and he can't get close to Lin Huai for a whole month, but Lin Huai didn't expect it.

It was three o'clock in the morning after the analysis.Lin Huai yawned, got up from the chair, and went back to the room.

After entering the room, Chu Tianshu obediently lay down on the sofa next to him and curled up into a ball.

"The dog day's system." He scolded the system again in his heart, "Single-player dungeons are single-player dungeons, you are so cruel."

But after thinking about it, this is also the price he has to pay for following Lin Huai.Anyway, he is still a dog now, not a cockroach.Thinking of this, Chu Tianshu was joyfully happy.

He was just happy when Lin Huai's voice came from the bed: "I found out..."

Chu Tianshu:?

"I found that I still lack a pillow." Lin Huai hugged the pillow and turned to him, "You come up?"
