Escape from the Madhouse [Unlimited]

The car has gone, and the hilltop villa has returned to silence, only the sound of the wind and the chirping of insects hidden in the grass.

Zhou Qian quietly glanced at Bai Zhou walking towards him, and after hearing something, he looked in the direction of the door - Ruan Mei stood there, staring motionlessly at the direction the driver was driving away.

Because of the angle and distance, Zhou Qian couldn't see her expression clearly, but he could see that her right hand was on the door frame, so hard that her knuckles were deformed.

Soon, Ruan Mei took action, and she walked towards the four "children" in the front yard.

When she came to them, her expression had returned to kindness.

Ruan Mei asked them: "Do you want to drink milk? The milk at aunt's house is not the brand you usually drink. Mom will buy some for you?"

Zhou Qian and Bai Zhou stood at the front, and after realizing that they hadn't answered, Ruan Mei walked up to Ke Si and Ke Shi again.

Ke Si and Ke Shi have come here completely with their thighs and experience, joined the legion in a daze, and entered this dungeon in a daze. At this moment, seeing the murderous maniac approaching, only she can do what she says.So they answered together: "Drink, I, we drink..."

"Okay. Then mom will buy for you. There is a supermarket at the foot of the mountain. Not far away." Ruan Mei smiled at them, "Don't leave, go to bed early, and wait for mom to come back with peace of mind!"

After finishing speaking, Ruan Mei took out the car keys, got into another car, started it, and drove away.

Watching another car leave, Zhou Qian squinted his eyes, and said in a low tone: "If Ke Er and Ke San are good people, then I will remind them a few more times and help them. It's a pity that they not only want me to die, And he has done a lot of evil. That Ke Er is not shy about admitting his evil deeds."

At this point, Zhou Qian turned his head to glance at Bai Zhou, and found that he lowered his head and peeled the orange again.

After receiving Zhou Qian's gaze, Bai Zhou raised his head to look at him, the expression on his face was probably "whatever you want to play, I'll just cooperate".

Seeing him like this, Zhou Qian couldn't help but imagine a scene——

The world was coming to an end, and there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood all over the place. Bai Zhou had just swung a knife and chopped off a zombie or something else, and his face was still covered with blood.In that situation, he didn't even wipe the blood off his face, but just peeled the orange calmly with cold eyes, and then gently handed the orange over, asking himself if he wanted to eat it.

Um.There is indeed a madness in Bai Zhou's body.

Still kind of hard to see.

Zhou Qian was thinking about it, when he heard Bai Zhou ask, "Do you still want to eat oranges?"

Zhou Qian originally wanted to say that the oranges were so sour that he couldn't eat them. If he hadn't fooled Ke Er just now, he almost collapsed. Thanks to his good acting skills, he forcibly held back the sourness.

But thinking of something in an instant, Zhou Qian stretched out his hand and spread it out.

Bai Zhou caught a glimpse of his movement, and handed over the remaining half of the orange in his hand.

"Reciprocity." Zhou Qian broke off a piece of orange, took off the white silk on it, and handed it back to Bai Zhou.

Bai Zhou glanced at Zhou Qian, took it decisively and ate it, then frowned immediately.

Seeing his expression, Zhou Qian was amused, and asked him with a smile: "Ha, have you lost your teeth?"

Bai Zhou chewed the orange a few times, swallowed it, then looked deeply at Zhou Qian, and reached out to brush the hair behind his ear.

With a slight smile, Bai Zhou said concisely: "No. It's quite sweet."

At that moment, it was rare for someone like Zhou Qian to be stunned.

Then he quickly turned around and turned his back to Bai Zhou.

In this way, Bai Zhou couldn't see his expression, but could only see the shrunken earrings shining on his ear bones under the moonlight.That was his outfit in this large copy, and when he left Blue Harbor City, these earrings would also disappear.

What Bai Zhou didn't know was that several numbers were running through Zhou Qian's mind at this moment.

Zhou Qian was smart since he was a child. He learned to read words and emotions early on, and he also learned the ways of the world early on.

As precocious as he is, in middle school, he naturally noticed that the relationship between him and Bai Zhou has already surpassed the friendship of ordinary classmates, friends and even brothers.

If I had to describe it, the relationship between him and Bai Zhou might just be separated by a layer of window paper.Although sometimes he felt that the layer of window paper might be a little thicker, but the general meaning was still the same.

However, because there were always some things in Bai Zhou that Zhou Qian didn't understand, Zhou Qian in middle school was about 30% uncertain about it.

Seven years ago, after Bai Zhou disappeared without a word, Zhou Qian once increased this uncertainty to 200%.

Until in the game, Zhou Qian finally let Bai Zhou appear through the guidance of his intuition and approaching step by step, and the uncertainty gradually decreased to 90%.

Then came today.

In the name of acting to deceive people, Zhou Qian carried out half-truths and half-false temptations quietly. For a few moments, he suddenly felt as if he had really returned to his middle school days - the one when he was completely willful in front of Bai Zhou. wanton period.

In adolescence, people's love and hate are very simple.

A lot of things got complicated as adults, especially when they were separated for seven years.

Zhou Qian found that he had learned to restrain himself.

Before meeting Bai Zhou, Zhou Qian thought of many ways to question him.He forced and forced Bai Zhou to tell all the hidden secrets.

But when Bai Zhou really asked him to ask casually, Zhou Qian stood by the sea, and the moment he noticed Bai Zhou's eyes, he couldn't ask anything.Because he felt that Bai Zhou would be embarrassed.

In a special game, Zhou Qian could only try his best to simplify the complicated and unclear relationship between the two.

After a whole day of getting along and exploring, with the blessing of the memory filter, he reduced the number in his heart to 80%.

Finally, Bai Zhou never said fancy words.

Once he opened his mouth to say something, he must be very sincere and from the heart.

So, after he just said that oranges are very sweet, Zhou Qian felt that he could continue to reduce the number to 70%.

No, you can't drop that much all at once.

Hmm... let's say 72.9%.

This number should be more accurate.

A lot went through Zhou Qian's mind.But that was only what happened within two seconds.

He squatted down quickly, picked up the few petals of oranges he threw on the ground when he was acting just now, walked to the trash can in the yard, and threw them away together with the oranges in his hand.

Afterwards, he walked towards the villa without looking back, and the words were addressed to Bai Zhou. "Brother Zhou, come in and discuss how to deal with Ruan Mei?"

At this moment, seeing Ruan Mei drive away, Ke Si and Ke Shi were a little confused.

They discussed it and walked to the gate of the courtyard together.

Glad to hear it, the two of them received the system prompt again, and came back in despair.

The two exchanged a few words in whispers, then went to the house and walked up to Zhou Qian.

In fact, it was because Zhou Qian's previous performance was too serious, which made them think that they would die if they stayed here tonight. When they stood in front of Zhou Qian, their faces were uniformly pale.

"We, what is our situation now? What should we do?"

"Aren't we going to survive tonight?"

"Ke Er and Ke San betrayed us! They are not our brothers!"

"Yes! We really follow you!"

While listening to these words, Zhou Qian sized up the two of them several times.

When he saw the driver friend giving Ruan Mei the car keys in the afternoon, he had already guessed the trap.

Therefore, he deliberately said that he would leave the villa with the driver and others, just to test the conduct of those four fools.

Although they said in the morning that they would follow him completely, the state of Ke Er and Ke San was obviously not right. Zhou Qian had noticed them winking at each other several times. It was obvious that they were chatting about something in the private chat channel.

Zhou Qian tried it casually, and it turned out to be something. When the stakes were at stake, Ke Er and Ke San would definitely push themselves into the fire pit; in addition, they admitted that they had killed many people, so Zhou Qian could not help it. They walked into the trap and didn't say anything more.

Ke Er and Ke San are likely to die. As for Ke Si and Ke Shi... Even if they have the intention of betrayal, they don't have the brains.

For the time being, it seems that they can only be obedient, so I can use them as tool people.

Since we want to use them, we still need to let them calm down and not spoil things because of excessive fear.

So Zhou Qian said, "Don't worry, it's not us who died, but Ke Er Ke San."

Ke Si and Ke Shi obviously didn't understand why.

Zhou Qian then asked, "Do you still remember what the deceased in the last two exhibition halls in Exhibition Hall A looked like?"

Seemingly recalling the unsightly death of the two children, Ke Si and Ke Shi shivered unavoidably.

Zhou Qian said: "I have never thought about it before, what kind of 'accident' they died. But this afternoon, when I found out that there was an extra car, and found that it was the car that Ruan Mei wanted to use After that, I guessed it.

"You should have seen such news——

"Parents were out shopping, locked their kids in the car by mistake, and the kids were smothered to death in the car."

"Two children, a boy and a girl, have the common feature of wet hair and wet clothes. But the degree of wetness is quite limited. It doesn't look like they were soaked in water. Their death is not drowning. Those traces of wetness, It is caused by the body sweating.

"Especially that boy. Not only did he sweat a lot, he even had a nosebleed, and his face was flushed strangely. Why? Of course it was from the heat.

"At noon, drive the car under the sun, adults get out of the car, and lock the children in the car. The car is exposed to the scorching sun. Within an hour, the temperature inside the car rises sharply. When it reaches 42 degrees, it can kill people. Life. That's how the little boy died."

Hearing this, Ke Shi's teeth were chattering in fright, and he couldn't help asking: "I remember that little girl, she had a lot of scratch marks on her body, what happened? She didn't seem to have a nosebleed, right?"

Zhou Qian said: "These two children should have been locked inside the car and died. The boy died from the overheating of the car caused by the sun exposure. As for the girl... she probably died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

"Ruan Mei didn't turn off the air conditioner when she left the car in front of her. The carbon monoxide released by the incomplete combustion of the car engine became more and more concentrated, which caused the little girl to be poisoned. She was locked in the car and could not escape, and her body would be very uncomfortable. Hallucinated in the middle of the night, and scratched himself.”

Looking sideways out of the window, Zhou Qian said: "This afternoon, the driver and the driver friend each drove a car. When the driver friend handed over the car keys to Ruan Mei, I heard her say thank you for lending me the car. And The driver’s car belongs to Ke Yun’s family. So the two cars don’t belong to Ruan Mei. Then what did she borrow the car for? Corresponding to the corpse clues in the exhibition hall, it was used to kill people.”

After a brief pause, Zhou Qian continued: "In reality, Ruan Mei probably killed one child every once in a while, and since the death of the child can be attributed to accidents, she has been at large for a long time.

"But now the game is only given three days, and the plot is limited to this kind of villa far away from the crowd. Therefore, Ruan Mei's goal in the game is to kill us all. So——

"Even if we don't take the initiative to leave tonight, Ruan Mei will forcefully take a few children into the car in the name of 'taking the children to the supermarket at the foot of the mountain', and then dispose of them in the car.

"And once we propose to leave, she will most likely drive to chase it. At this time, the players who leave will be unable to escape at all."

"It's night now. The driver and his friend will come and drive the car away tomorrow morning. So Ruan Mei can only act tonight.

"Finally, the method of exposing to the sun cannot be used at night. So Ruan Mei's way of dealing with Ke Er and Ke San is probably to let them die in an air-conditioned car."

It took a full 3 minutes to react before Ke Si and Ke Shi came to their senses, and then both broke out in cold sweat on their backs in fear.

It was also at this time that they realized how terrible Zhou Qian was.

——It turned out that all of this was actually his scheme.

From another perspective, if Ke Er and Ke San were really dead, they probably died under Zhou Qian's scheme!

As if seeing something from their expressions, Zhou Qian smiled and said, "Don't panic. Actually, if Ke Er is not a villain, I will remind him. It's a pity, he is rushing to die."

After a while, Ke Si swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked Zhou Qian, "You, are you [-]% sure?"

"That's not true. However, if the player leaves with the NPC, the probability of being caught up by Ruan Mei and then murdered is at least 80%. But when Ruan Mei makes such a trip, it will take at least two hours to come back Later, she might even stay out all night."

Zhou Qian said again, "Then, take advantage of this time to prepare everything, the probability of our survival is at least 50%."

At this point, Zhou Qian found that Ke Si and Ke Shi were not only not comforted, but seemed to be even more frightened.

——The two of them were only afraid of Ruan Mei just now, but now they are also afraid of Zhou Qian.

Seeing this, Zhou Qian immediately squeezed out a very innocent smile. "Don't be afraid, you are honest people, I will not mess with you. As long as you listen to me, you will never die."

With a very serious tone, Zhou Qian emphasized: "Let me correct you, what I just said was wrong. Our survival rate is not 50%, it is 100%."

·

the other side.

The driver was driving down the hill, his friend was taking a nap in the co-pilot, and the cooking aunt was trying to talk to the two "children" in the back seat, but after the "children" ignored her, she shut up embarrassingly. Mouth, also began to doze off.

Among the players, Ke San completely relaxed and fell asleep.

Ke Er was very vigilant. He sat on the side by the window, and when he looked out of the dark window, there was faint worry in his eyes.

Suddenly, Ke Er felt his wrist tremble, and he received a message from his gambler.

After the player is promoted to S rank, the low-level gamblers who have been following him before will also be promoted to high-level gamblers.

At the same time, gamblers also have a chance to re-select players.

Before, gamblers could only be bound to the players they selected at the beginning, but after becoming advanced gamblers, they can go to the virtual game hall to observe the data and videos of all newcomers. The system gave them a certain amount of time for them to decide whether to Change players.

Ke Er's former gambler really gave up on him, and now he doesn't know who to turn to.

But somehow, Ke Er got the attention of another senior gambler.

The gambler didn't know how he liked him.After several cooperations, Ke Er found that he was quite reliable.

I saw the message from the gambler—[I went to the virtual game hall today, and found Zhou Qian's previous game video to make up for it. I found out that he can cheat, and he is very powerful! 】

When he saw this sentence, Ke Er hesitated for a moment, but did not take action immediately.

In the front yard before, when they were playing the game of "drawing ghost cards", from Zhou Qian's actions of cutting cards, Ke Er could tell that Zhou Qian could play cards.

In addition, Zhou Qian's sudden act of wanting to eat oranges was very abrupt, and Ke Er guessed that Zhou Qian would try to control the situation by controlling the cards of two people, and then hold the two ghost cards in his hand.

He saw everything in his eyes, but Ke Er didn't point it out because he boasted that his technique was more superb.

During the process of drawing cards, Ke Er noticed that Zhou Qian secretly drew a few more cards several times, and then changed them back calmly.

It's a pity that Zhou Qian's eyesight is not as good as his, and his hand speed is not as fast as his. He managed to control both ghost cards in his hands by constantly changing cards, putting the cards back after finding that there were no ghosts, etc.

Both Zhou Qian and him have come up with tricks, and they know each other well.

Zhou Qian's skills were not as good as others, and in the end he lost his temper, and even made a move on his "brother" who was too close to him...

All this is not like a fake at all, every step is logical and reasonable.

In addition, judging by common sense, it is indeed a good idea to let the NPC take him out of the villa...

Ke Er thought for a long time, but he didn't think there was any flaw.

But why do you feel uneasy?

At this time, Ke Er saw a few more messages from the gambler——

[I also have a lot of research on tricks and the like. Zhou Qian played a very beautiful trick in a previous game. I watched it many times just now, but I can't see any flaws at all]

[Zhou Qian's real hand speed is probably very fast, so fast that I can't recognize it with the naked eye.Then he was probably hiding his clumsiness just now.As a result, you have drawn a wild card, not because you are better at gambling than him, but because he pretended to compete with you, but in fact he deliberately let you]

【Wen Bin, your talent is the "sixth sense". Intuition is also very important in this game.So, by all means, trust your instincts, hop in the car, and get away! 】

Wen Bin hesitated for a while under the name "Ke Er", and finally, under the persuasion of the gambler, decided to jump out of the car and leave.

He stretched out his hand and pushed Ke San, trying to wake him up.

Ke San was worried all night last night and didn't rest during the day. Now he finally relaxed, but he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.He lazily yawned, opened his eyes and looked at Ke Er, and asked, "What's the matter?"

After asking this question, Ke San immediately fell asleep again, and Wen Bin pushed him several times without waking him up.

At this moment, Wen Bin clearly felt his eyes light up—it was the effect of the headlights of the car behind shining on the rearview mirror of the car in front.

Wen Bin immediately realized that it was Ruan Mei who had caught up!

He pushed Ke San again, but after a while he couldn't do anything, he had to choose to give up.Quickly opening the car door, Wen Bin immediately put his head in his hands, and rolled to the ground in the direction of the car in a "rolling" manner.

Walking on the mountain road at night, the driver's speed was not fast. Wen Bin's life was not in danger, but he fell hard enough.

He hit the ground hard, then rolled all the way off the road and fell into the nearby woods. He was seriously injured.He was in a proper posture, his head was only slightly scratched, and there were no serious symptoms such as fractures in his limbs.

After sitting on the ground and resting for a while, he got up and walked to the side of the road after he stopped staring at the stars.Hiding his body under the trees and the night, he looked towards the road, and after seeing what was on the horse, Wen Bin's expression became more and more serious.

On the road, Ruan Mei chased her all the way down. After she flashed a few times in a row, the driver of the car in front naturally understood, slowed down and parked the car on the side of the road.

Seeing this, Ruan Mei also stopped the car.Immediately she got out of the car, went to the driver's side and said to him: "I'm sorry, I've thought about it for a long time, but I'm still not at ease. If the children want to live down the mountain... I'd better send them home myself. "

"But you're working too hard—" The driver was a little worried.

"Don't worry, I took a big nap in the car this afternoon, and I'm fine. After taking the kids home, I'll go up the mountain to see the other kids." Ruan Mei smiled and looked at the back seat.

When she saw that there was only one person left in the car seat, her smile froze a bit.

After a short pause, when she spoke again, her voice had become very gentle. "Son, get out of the car, say goodbye to uncles and aunts, and go to Mom's car. Let's go to the supermarket to buy some milk, and then Mom will take you home!"

In the back seat, Ke San felt his wrist tremble in his sleep.

He subconsciously opened his eyes, and before he could react at all, he saw the prompt from the system——

[The key item for determining NPC behavior this time: car]

[Cars can constitute a killing tool. The player is about to sit in the car alone, and Ruan Mei is about to drive without any witnesses. The judgment result is that the killing action can be triggered]

【Ruan Mei is about to kill "Ke San"】

[The judgment result takes effect immediately]

……

A moment later, in the small woods, Wen Bin, who was hiding here, watched helplessly. Ruan Mei carried "Ke San", who was completely unable to resist due to system restrictions, back to a car behind.

The car carrying three NPCs in front quickly left the mountain road.

After a while, Ruan Mei drove "Ke San" to the foot of the mountain.

Wen Bin's eyes turned red.

There are too many calculations in this game, only Ke San has always been sincere to him, of course he can see it.He also swore to himself that he must treat Ke San with sincerity and lead him along the way.

But Ruan Mei had already chased him up just now, and he couldn't guarantee that he could escape with the sleeping Ke San without being discovered by Ruan Mei.

He can only give up Ke San.

He couldn't bear this pain and guilt alone, he could only turn it into hatred for Zhou Qian.

Gritting his teeth, Wen Bin swore - he would avenge Ke San.

After a while, Wen Bin took a deep breath, walked out of the grove, and tried to take a step down the mountain.

But he received a system message——

【warn!The player interacts with the NPC. Although the scope of the plot can be expanded, the player Wen Bin has lost interaction with the NPC and is currently seriously out of the restricted area of ​​the plot. The player still has 5 minutes to return to the restricted area, otherwise the player will die directly]

Seeing this, Wen Bin immediately took out a shoe that can quickly increase the movement speed, but it was also unusable.

He cursed a few words loudly, kicked the big tree in front of him fiercely, and in anger, he had no choice but to run up the mountain with all his might.

After being promoted to S rank, his basic attributes are not bad, and his movement speed is very fast.

Even so, he couldn't stop for a moment, so that he could run back to the top of the mountain within the specified time.

·

At this moment, in the hilltop villa.

Zhou Qian finally started to study toys.

What he was looking at was a very special toy, which was made up of plastic nails of different sizes and shapes, which could be used to spell out arbitrary figures or numbers on the plastic board by plugging them in.

This toy can play a good role in cultivating children's graphic imagination, recognition of numbers and simple characters.For a more complicated play, you can use this toy to piece together a series of stories.

But at the same time, it is also a very dangerous toy.

Mushroom nails are mostly sharp, and it is not difficult to swallow them or accidentally prick your hands when you fall.

When Zhou Qian was studying toys, Ke Si and Ke Shi were also studying, while Bai Zhou stood by the window and looked towards the foot of the mountain, not knowing what he was thinking.

Sitting casually on the ground, Zhou Qian unwrapped the packing bag, picked up a mushroom nail and looked at it carefully for a while.

Then he looked at Bai Zhou who was standing by the window: "That child with a hole in his forehead was made by this thing, right?"

Bai Zhou nodded: "Well, it should be. But it's made of plastic after all, and it's not that easy to get it stuck into the forehead."

Seeing this, Ke Si and Ke Shi also started talking on the sidelines.

"What kind of agency should it be?"

"I saw in the afternoon that Ke Er and Ke San have been studying on the swing for a long time. You said, is it possible to throw people out on the swing, and then fall on the mushroom nails, and let their foreheads get stuck in?"

"Ah, this is too difficult."

"But I always feel that the swing is not safe. Hey, let's take the swing down first!"

Hearing this, Zhou Qian interrupted them. "After the swing is dismantled, there are ready-made nails and broken wood. 'The child accidentally fell down, causing nails and broken wood on his forehead'...Is this kind of 'accident' easier to believe?"

"Then, how about using fire? It's good to burn Dafa!"

"The existing corpses in the exhibition hall are reminders to the players, so that they can think ahead about what 'accidents' Ruan Mei may design. But the 'accidents' that are not prompted in the exhibition hall do not mean that they will not happen in the game.

"So, if you set fire to the swing, it might inspire Ruan Mei to set the whole villa on fire, and then push you into the sea of ​​flames."

Ke Si and Ke Shi were about to be cried by Zhou Qian. "Then, what should we do? Isn't this a death anyway?"

Zhou Qian raised his eyes and looked at Bai Zhou, and then looked at them with a smile: "Wrong. This villa is indeed a natural place for massacres, not bad. But who said that it must be Ruan Mei who killed us?"

"Ruan Mei gave us the trap." Zhou Qian said with a smile, "Then let's send her on the road together."
