Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

Six p.m.

The setting sun sinks little by little, the lake water turns from green to red, and then turns into black together with the night.

The villa on the top of the mountain is lit up, looking from a distance, it looks like a star shining on the top of the mountain.

This afternoon, the six players in the villa had tried to leave here.

But no matter whether they walk to the door of the front yard or the back yard, a system prompt will appear: [Warning, the player is about to leave the plot-limited venue, and if he walks 50 meters away, the player will die directly]

In this way, the strategy of escaping from the villa and surviving was completely eliminated by the system.

Players can only stay and adapt.

At this time, in the dining room on the first floor of the villa, Ruan Mei and six "children" were sitting and eating together. Originally, the three people, the cooking aunt, the driver, and the driver friend, were going to eat at the small dining table in the kitchen, but Ruan Mei put They all called over.

At the dinner table, the servant aunt was almost flattered, and couldn't help but said: "Madam is really kind!"

"It should be. It's not easy for everyone." Ruan Mei smiled and beckoned them to sit down, "You're welcome. These children can't eat much. Just move your chopsticks."

The aunt said: "Thank you, madam. After eating and washing the dishes, I will help the children wash their faces and feet, and then I will leave!"

"No. I'm used to doing all this. If it weren't for something at home today, I don't want you to cook."

Ruan Mei smiled and said, "You can leave after dinner. Don't worry, the driver is still in a hurry to go home. Let him wait a while and take you back! Speaking of it... I am quite worried. Here It's too far away from the city. The three of you are home, remember to tell me."

Hearing this, Zhou Qian and Bai Zhou looked at each other, and the other four players from the Invincible Legion couldn't help but clenched their chopsticks at the same time.

Everyone knew what Ruan Mei meant - when those three people left, wouldn't Ruan Mei be left alone?At that time, she will be able to carry out the slaughter to her heart's content.

Marolo, Meng Ping, and the others died silently last night, without any movement. It can be seen that once the death condition is triggered, the players can't even use the props.

The skill bar has been cleared, and the props cannot be used. At that time, they will have to wait for death, and there is no possibility of survival.

This dungeon is too restrictive for players.

The only thing that players are lucky about is that some props without attack power and defense power can still be used.

At this moment, Ke Er and Ke San are chatting privately through small props.

Ke San: "Boss, what do you think? I think this, this is not right!"

Ke Er: "It's really wrong. Suffocation, drowning... You can hide from them. But other things are too difficult. Those toys that Ruan Mei brought over...you have seen it too!"

At the dinner table, his eyes swept over the four people one by one, taking a panoramic view of their expressions. During this period, Zhou Qian certainly noticed that Ke Er and Ke San would look at each other from time to time, as if they were discussing something.

But Zhou Qian pretended not to see it, and looked absent-minded and enjoying the food at ease. After yawning, he poked Bai Zhou with his elbow, and lifted his chopsticks in a certain direction.

"Brother Zhou, I want that."

Only Bai Zhou could understand Zhou Qian's actions and words.

Soon, Bai Zhou picked up a spoon and scooped three snails out of a plate of fried snails, put them into the empty bowl in front of him, picked up a piece of snails with his left hand wearing a plastic glove, and then used a toothpick to remove the three snails inside. Pick out the meat, pinch off the muddy part of the tail, and finally put it into Zhou Qian's bowl.

"It's really like going back to the time when I was in the cafeteria when I was in school." Zhou Qian smiled, picked up the snail meat with chopsticks and ate it in one bite.

Bai Zhou slowly picked up the second snail and continued to pick the meat. At this time, Zhou Qian pretended to turn his head casually, and glanced in the direction of the yard in front of the window.

The light from the house shines through the windows into the yard, making it clear that there are two cars parked there.

When the two cars came in the afternoon, Zhou Qian observed them on purpose. The driver brought Ruan Mei and drove one over, while the driver's friend drove another car over.

——Why did you drive another car here?

Catching this question, Zhou Qian paid more attention at that time.

In the afternoon, apart from Zhou Qian, other players naturally discovered this problem, so they rushed to the front yard one after another.

Then they saw that after the driver and his friend parked the cars one after another, they both got down from the two driver's seats and opened the trunks of the two cars respectively.

The players saw that the two trunks were actually full of toys.

There are many kinds of toys, including cars, trains, toy pistols, etc., as well as boxes of small wooden sticks and building blocks. Among them, there is one toy that Zhou Qian took a closer look at. It is a lot of mushroom nails .

Ruan Mei didn't bring clothes, children's common medicine, or books, but brought a wide variety of toys, and even used two carts to pull the toys, her sinister intentions were obvious.

In this way, toys may of course be closely related to the method of killing.

Regarding this point, the players all saw it.

Zhou Qian noticed that at that time, Ke San offered to help "mother" carry toys, and he actually carried a lot of toys upstairs, causing the driver and the cooking aunt to praise him for being sensible.

When carrying the last toy, Ke San was delayed upstairs for a long time.

Later, Ke Er put the arms of Ke Si and Ke Shi Shi, and the three of them went up together.

Before leaving, Ke Er also called Zhou Qian.

But Zhou Qian was asking Bai Zhou to help him cut the apple into small pieces, so he was delayed, saying that he would go over to meet them later to check the toys.

Those few people went to check the toys, of course to confirm what kinds of toys there are.

For the time being, those gizmos cannot be regarded as the key to determining whether the death condition is triggered.

After all, if you want to design a toy as a tool for killing people, and to disguise everything as an accident, you need some specific situations.

Now is the time to test the players' association ability. They need to observe each toy and think about how and under what circumstances Ruan Mei will turn them into killing props.

Zhou Qian didn't care about the details of the toy for the time being.

Instead, what he cares about is the every move of Ke San, Ke Er and the others.

After they went upstairs, Zhou Qian stayed in the kitchen under the guise of eating apples. He glanced at something out of the corner of his eye and looked at the driver friend—he had just moved a box of mineral water from the back seat of the car and put it in the kitchen next to the kitchen. In the storage room.And Ruan Mei followed at this time.

Seeing the driver's friend, Ruan Mei handed him a cup of tea and thanked him repeatedly.

The driver friend replied with a few polite words, and while taking the tea, he handed something to Ruan Mei.

Zhou Qian stuck his head out from the kitchen and noticed that it was the car key.

Seeing this detail, Zhou Qian was sure that the reason why the driver friend came with an empty car was because Ruan Mei wanted to use the car herself.

So, the car without passengers was not just used to transport toys.

At that moment, Zhou Qian completely understood something that he hadn't figured out before.

·

Time goes back to this moment.

Zhou Qian withdrew his gaze, and continued to eat with chopsticks leisurely.

Bai Zhou helped him pick out the second piece of snail meat, and he quickly ate it again with peace of mind.

About 20 minutes later, it was time for dinner to end, and it was almost time for the cooking aunt, the driver and his friend to leave.

Zhou Qian buried his head in his food.

After Ke San glanced at everyone, he noticed a drop of sweat dripping from Ke Er's forehead.

Um?Did Ke Er think of any key issues?

Ke San immediately asked him through private chat: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Ke Er said: "I think...do you want to persuade a certain NPC to stay..."

Ke San asked, "How, how do you say it?"

"Since I saw every toy in the afternoon, I have been thinking... I think the risk of death here in the villa is too difficult to avoid. Drowning and suffocation can indeed be avoided. But others are too difficult!

"Let the child sit on the swing, push him off the swing; or simply throw the child from the third floor to the downstairs... These are already easy for Ruan Mei. Let alone so many various toys, then How many ways of murder should it correspond to?"

"Before I saw those toys, I thought we could give it a try, and maybe even kill Zhou Qian to receive the reward. But now I find...it's not that easy at all. In this villa, with that whole The blessing of the toys of the two cars, the way Ruan Mei killed us and pretended to be an accident, there are too many, it is hard to guard against. But I suddenly found—”

Ke Erdao: "There is a way to completely avoid all risks! That is, we find a 'target witness' for ourselves! We must persuade the driver and Auntie Cook to stay. As long as they stay, Ruan Mei will definitely not be able to kill again! "

Ke San wanted to understand, and immediately laughed. "Yeah! Brother, you are smart! There are too many ways to murder, even if we can hide one, we may not be able to hide the next one! But as long as there is one 'witness', isn't it once and for all?!"

At this point, seeing the driver and others standing up, saying goodbye to Ruan Mei, and going to the yard to drive away, Ke Er gave Ke San a wink, and Ke San immediately got up and rushed towards the driver.

"That... Uncle and aunt, I can't bear to part with you! Can you stay and play with me tonight?"

Ruan Mei, who was standing at the door of the room, was about to send the three of them to the yard at this moment, when she heard this, her face suddenly changed.

But this only lasted for a few seconds, and soon her face returned to kindness.

She rubbed Ke San's head and said, "No way. Uncles and aunts are going home, and they have to go home to take care of their children!"

"I'm begging uncle!" Ke San turned his head and winked at the other players except Ke Er, "Come here and beg! We'll be safe if we keep people here!"

Zhou Qian and Bai Zhou didn't move, but Ke Er, Ke Si and Ke Shi stepped forward and hugged the NPCs' thighs one after another.

Hearing this, the driver and the cooking aunt looked at each other, feeling that this matter was extremely difficult.Of course they wanted to go home instead of staying here, but they felt that they didn't know how to refuse, for fear of offending the children and the Ke family.

Ruan Mei naturally saw their embarrassment immediately.

She immediately said: "It's okay, you go. These children are spoiled by me, you go away! Don't worry! I will discipline them! This is all their problem!"

Ruan Mei's words seemed to give them a reassurance, and they were about to push the children away immediately.

What Ke Er is hugging now is the driver friend's thigh.The driver friend is trying to break his fingers off.

Ke Er realized that he now had the strength of a child, and could not defeat an adult at all.

In desperation, he had no choice but to immediately take out a prop.

[props name: universal glue]

[Function: It can make you stick to anything, hold on to it, don't let go, it will be yours! 】

[Status: Unavailable at this time]

When he saw the four words "do not use", the blue veins on Ke Er's forehead burst out of anger.

He originally wanted to use this kind of glue to keep the NPC, but who knows that this kind of props are also restricted by the system!

Wait, that Zhou Qian... Why didn't Zhou Qian act at all?

Last night I clearly saw Ruan Mei also entered his room, but he survived, which means that he is very smart, he should know how to play this dungeon.

Why didn't he ask them to stay?

At the dining table, Zhou Qian smiled when he saw Ke Er's eyes, and caught a glimpse of him hugging the driver's friend's thigh but being ruthlessly pushed away.

Immediately, Zhou Qian stepped forward, stepped out of the door, and said to the driver and the others: "If you can't stay, can you take us away? I don't want to stay on the mountain overnight! It's too cold here!"

Hearing this, Ke Er and Ke San looked at each other, immediately realized something, and echoed: "Yes, yes, take us away! We are leaving here!"

——Under the restrictions of the plot, players cannot leave the "Hilltop Villa" privately, but if they can persuade the NPC to take them away, even if they guide the development of a new plot, then the "restricted plot area" will naturally be relaxed, and they can also Get out of this place to avoid Ruan Mei's massacre.

That's right, Zhou Qian's method is good!

Ke Si and Ke Shi were a little slow to react, but at least they understood, so they immediately begged, saying they wanted to go with them.

Auntie Cooking is probably the most caring, her heart melted from being entangled by the children, she immediately said to Ruan Mei, "Otherwise... shall I take them away?"

Ruan Mei's face was ugly, but in order to maintain the character design, she had to collapse, and she agreed.

But her consent is conditional.

I just heard her say: "There are only two cars here, both of which are ordinary cars. One car must be kept here for emergencies. As for the other... the driver drives, his friend sits in the co-pilot, Auntie, you sit in the back and can only take care of two children at most, so—"

Ruan Mei sighed, looked at her "children", and said, "Only two of you can leave."

Six players, only two can be left.

Just now, it was the players and NPCs who were fighting, but now there is a faint fighting posture between the players.

After Ke San heard Ke Er's instructions in the earphone, he immediately spoke first and said, "I'm going! I'm the most afraid of the cold! I want to get out of here! My brother Ke Er and I will go!"

Speaking of this, Ke San pulled Ke Er's arm. "We're going together!"

"No, we're leaving too!"

"Yeah! We're leaving!"

This is the voice of Ke Si and Ke Shi.

"You..." Ruan Mei frowned, "Hurry up and decide who will leave, otherwise no one will leave! Uncles and aunts are in a hurry to go back. Don't waste any more time!"

Zhou Qian spoke up.He looked at Ruan Mei and said, "Mom, let's have a discussion. Give us 5 minutes?"

"All right. I'll give you five minutes." Ruan Mei's complexion was getting worse and worse, but she managed to suppress something, and beckoned to the driver and they entered the house again, "Come, let's have some tea. No Sorry, there are many children, and there are many troubles!"

In the front yard, the door leading to the living room was temporarily closed, leaving only six players here to discuss.

Next to it is the car that can take them away, but they can't leave by themselves, they can only escape by guiding the plot and letting the NPC take them away, and only two people can escape.

Before the formal discussion with other players started, Ke San first asked Ke Er through private chat props: "Brother, what do you say?"

Ke San's face turned blue: "We have to leave!"

"But you can only choose two out of six. In this way, it will go against the strategy you set earlier."

Ke San reminded him, "If you tear yourself apart with Zhou Qian...you won't be able to use him against the boss anymore. If he doesn't die this time, later...he won't be easily fooled by you, won't It's so easy to die in your hands, the reward offered by the Pink Legion..."

"No, you don't understand now. In this game, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests!" Ke Er said seriously, "If you offend him now, then offend him. If he can survive by chance, compared to me, In fact, his real enemy is our boss. At that time, we still have room for cooperation. Not to mention...

"Heh, I don't think Zhou Qian can survive tonight. There are death traps all over the villa. Except for these three NPCs to leave, I'm afraid no one can escape!"

Glancing into the room through the window, Ke Er's eyes became more and more gloomy. "The more I think about it, the more I feel that I can't stay here. There are so many players in this dungeon... Of course it has its evil ways.

"I just analyzed it with you at the dinner table. After seeing those toys, I realized that I can't keep them here at all! Toy pistols, small sticks... everything is fatal! Ruan Mei just took one and stuck it into us We are all going to die! The risk of death is unavoidable!

"In short, the risk tonight is not at the same level as last night! We must leave!"

When Ke Er and Ke San were chatting privately, Zhou Qian took a look at them, but opened his mouth on his own initiative, and said bluntly, "You really are fools."

Seeing other people looking over one after another, Zhou Qian said again: "At Ke Zheng's house this morning, you acted like that in front of us... I thought you would recognize me as a big brother from now on——

"But now... what are you doing? It's obviously the way I came up with. I want to leave here with the NPCs to avoid the risk of death. But looking at you like this, you are trying to grab the opportunity to leave with me?"

This time, Ke Er didn't push Ke San out as a cover, he finally stood up and said to the crowd: "Now we need to select two people who can leave here immediately. Otherwise, if it takes too long, Ruan Mei will not let any of us leave. No one will have the chance to leave. Why bother? Those who stay and those who leave should exchange news from both sides, and win-win cooperation is the only way!"

"Yes, then how do you want to choose? How can it be fair?" Zhou Qian asked him.

Ke Er took out a deck of poker and said, "This is a standard number of ordinary poker, and there are two big and small cards in it.

"For the sake of fairness, each of us draws cards in turn. Whichever two people get a joker card, those two people can go. If someone draws two joker cards, he can designate the other person to go away!"

As if he was afraid that other people would disagree, Ke Er hurriedly emphasized: "We don't have any skills now, and we can't use slightly offensive or defensive props at all. Whether it's fighting or talking, it's completely useless. It's just a waste of time. The card draw is the fairest. Let's make a quick decision, whoever goes and who stays depends on luck!"

When hearing Ke Er's words, all the gamblers in the virtual game lobby laughed.

"This Ke Er seems a bit funny. He wants to play poker with Brother Qian?"

"Ham, that's why, when players are free, they should still come here to watch newcomer videos!"

"He won't come up with tricks, will he? God, there are still people in this world who don't know how fast Brother Qian's hands are?"

"Sit and watch Ke Er get slapped in the face!"

In the game, Zhou Qian was completely unaware of the real-time discussion of the gamblers, he just readily agreed to Ke Er's request.

He agreed, and Bai Zhou naturally agreed.Ke Er and Ke San are the initiators of this "drawing ghost cards" game.Then the remaining Ke Si and Ke Shi had no choice but to bite the bullet and get involved.

The six of them didn't pay much attention, they just sat in a circle on the ground, and then Ke Er put a stack of cards in the middle: "Anyone of you will draw first."

"Wait a minute, I want to check the cards and your sleeves, who knows if you will cheat?" Zhou Qian said.

Ke Er smiled, took off his upper body clothes, and said to Zhou Qian with his upper body naked: "Are you relieved now?"

Zhou Qian ignored him, picked up the pile of cards and flipped through them roughly, counted them, cut the cards a few times, then put the cards back, then turned his head to look at the other two people: "Come and cut the cards too!" Well. That's really fair."

Hearing this, Ke Si and Ke Shi really cut the cards several times by themselves, and counted the number. After confirming that it was indeed a standard and ordinary deck without any other tricks, they put it back In the open space among the six people.

Afterwards, six people planned to take turns to start drawing cards.

Zhou Qian yawned, and took out an orange to Bai Zhou. "Brother, can you peel an orange for me?"

Bai Zhou raised his eyes to look at him, pretending not to know his plan, and replied cooperatively: "Peeling oranges will make your hands sticky, if you draw a card—"

"Just let me touch it for you!" Zhou Qian said.

As a result, there are only five real players in the game.

Five people take turns, drawing a card each time and putting it on the ground in front of them.

When it was Zhou Qian's time, he drew one himself, and put another one in front of Bai Zhou, completely doing this little game of "drawing ghost cards" for him.

During the process, Bai Zhou calmly stood beside Zhou Qian, helping him peel the oranges steadily.Every time Bai Zhou took out a piece of orange, he would even pick out the white silk on it bit by bit, and then feed it to Zhou Qian, because Zhou Qian would find it bitter.

Seeing this, the gamblers had another discussion.

"Look, everyone had two meals together today. This [137] helped Zhou Qian peel the shrimp shells, pick the snail meat, cut the fruit, and pour water... In fact, the other four were quite surprised at first. But now they Don't be surprised!"

"Bad! So! I misunderstood Brother Qian! I really thought he was in love with someone else. It turns out that this is a strategy!"

"What strategy? I don't understand?"

"Look, Zhou Qian is asking [137] to peel the oranges for him under the pretext of eating oranges. In fact, his real purpose is to control the cards of the two of them. In this way, he will have more room for manipulation when he cheats! Just watch, he will definitely be able to completely control the two ghost cards in his hands!"

"So that's how it is! I understand. If they directly peeled and fed the oranges in this link, the other players would definitely find it strange and suspect Zhou Qian.

"But they have laid the groundwork for lunch and dinner in advance... Others will not think that the two men are doing this now, it will look too strange! Therefore, no one doubts that Brother Qian will cheat!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"It seems that we have misunderstood Brother Qian. He wants to study hard, and he has never thought about falling in love."

"We're overthinking! We shouldn't think too much!"

However 2 minutes later.

"What, what's going on?"

"What?! I read it right! Why are the two ghost cards in Ke's second hand?!"

"Fuck! Brother Qian's strategy must be there! What's wrong?"

"Brother Qian's strategy must be correct. Could it be... Ke Er is more cheating than him?"

"Hiss...Could it be that Brother Qian has met a master?"

Outside the game, gamblers are getting worried.

In the game, Zhou Qian's expression also turned serious.

He just ate a piece of orange, when everyone turned over all the cards and saw two fake cards in Ke Er's place, he had "the orange in his mouth will not taste good soon" written all over his face.

Ke Er left the big ghost card to himself, and then naturally left the kid to Ke San, then stood up and bowed to everyone: "Sorry, we'll just go there and wait for the driver to drive. Be careful at night, and you can hide. I hope we will run into each other in other exhibition halls."

Zhou Qian suddenly became angry, threw the remaining oranges on the ground, and said angrily: "You must have cheated! How could you have two ghosts on you?"

Zhou Qian's face turned pale all of a sudden, as if the development of the situation was completely beyond his expectation.

Ke Er glanced at him indifferently: "Fleeing down the mountain is just one of the escape methods. What are you afraid of? Does staying here really mean waiting for death?"

"You—!" Zhou Qian rushed forward, as if he wanted to have a fight with Ke Er immediately.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Bai Zhou quickly reached out to stop him.

Zhou Qian's actions undoubtedly affirmed Ke Er's question just now.

—Staying here is tantamount to waiting for death.

Seeing his figure in action and exhaling slowly, Ke Er became more determined to leave.

Ke Er turned around and was about to leave, but Zhou Qian refused and rushed up to stop him for the second time.

Bai Zhou put his arms around Zhou Qian's waist and stopped him from moving forward again. "Everyone said just now that luck—"

"Fucking luck! Don't be a good guy!" Zhou Qian glared at Bai Zhou angrily, and his voice became hoarse, "I don't want to stay here! He must be cheating. Then who... Ke Si, Ke Shi? You What are you two doing stupidly, stop him!"

Bai Zhou continued to persuade Zhou Qian: "You go up and stop him now, even if you fight him, it doesn't make any sense. Once we can't choose anyone, everyone will stay here. If there is really danger here, at least the two of them It's better to be able to leave than to be wiped out."

"You, you're sick! Are you okay?! Is this what you call a good person?" Zhou Qian was furious, turned around and punched Bai Zhou, gritted his teeth, "At worst, I'll die with him !Who wouldn't kill a fish?!"

"Zhou Qian, don't make trouble."

Bai Zhou didn't quarrel with him, he just held down his wrist so that he wouldn't really punch him.

The scene became a little chaotic for a while.

Zhou Qian couldn't catch up with Ke Er and Ke San in the end, because he actually got into a fight with Bai Zhou.

The 5-minute time limit soon expired. The driver and his friend walked out of the villa with the cooking aunt. When the driver pressed the remote control to open the door, Ke Er and Ke San had already stepped forward to open the door. Jumped into the back seat.

It's too late for Zhou Qian to do anything now.

He glared at Bai Zhou with red eyes, pushed him away, and the moment three NPCs got into the car one after another, and the driver also lit the engine, he ran up and slapped the rear door hard.

In the car, of course Ke Er didn't open the door.

He just rolled down the car window a little bit, and couldn't hold back the sarcasm in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Qian.

Ke Er said: "If you still want to say something, just say it."

Zhou Qian looked at him fiercely: "You are definitely cheating, I can see it!"

"Well, I can tell from your action of cutting cards that you are of the same kind. You also want to cheat. But so what? You have never played with me." Ke Er said, "I would like to bet and admit defeat Right. It's not like you don't have a chance. Find another way to escape from Ruan Mei."

Zhou Qian's eyes became more and more red, and he roared unwillingly: "You are really indifferent. You have a lot of lives in your hands, right?"

"That's right." Ke Er twitched the corner of his mouth, and said calmly, "If you want to survive in this game, who has clean hands?"

"Not counting indirect harm, how many people have you killed with your own hands?" Zhou Qian asked him.

"Sorry, I can't count. Maybe a dozen or so. Not many." Ke Er rolled back the window and said to the driver in the driver's seat, "Let's go!"

The car left, it drove out of the range covered by the lights of the villa, and then slowly sank into the night.

At this time, Zhou Qian's eyes also completely changed.

He turned his head and stared thoughtfully at another car left in the yard. After hearing footsteps behind him, he turned his head and saw Bai Zhou walking towards him.

Bai Zhou walked slowly along one wall of the villa, half of his face was illuminated by the light, while the other half of his face was hidden in the darkness.

Zhou Qian's expression at this time is completely different from the angry expression in front of Ke Er just now.

Looking at Bai Zhou, he smiled, opened his mouth through the private chat tool, and said in a very relaxed tone: "Brother Zhou, your acting skills are not bad. Trained as an NPC? I haven't seen you for many years, but the tacit understanding is still there."
