1/2 Nightmare [Unlimited]

"What rule?" Qi Lu subconsciously asked.

"I'll tell you later."

While the two of them were whispering, Accountant Wang had already arranged to lock them in one of the warehouses and lock them.

After Accountant Wang and the others walked away, 076 first untied his hemp rope, and then untied Qi Lu's.Both of them get a brief moment of relaxation.

"Have you noticed that the villagers today are more aggressive?" 076 asked.

"Really." Qi Lu replied.

When they first arrived in the village, most of the villagers, whether it was accountant Wang or other villagers they met on the road, were relatively kind.But now, accountant Wang has become ignorant and confused, and the villagers are not very kind.

They can assert their crimes based on Zhang Kun's words, which is always a bit too ignorant.

"What's going on?" Qi Lu asked.

"Any dungeon has more or less a core of value. Since we entered the village, what major events have happened?" 076 asked.

"Does the dead count? First Qiao Lu, then Li Yangfan. And Zhang Kun, Zhang Kun feels as if he has been completely assimilated now, not at all the feeling he had when he first entered the game." Qi Lu replied.

"Yes, two people died, and the character of the whole village changed. This is the change of the game."

"You mean, the change of accountant Wang and the villagers may be due to the death of two people?" Qi Lu guessed, then quickly accepted this fact, and only continued to ask: "Then what shall we do next?"

"Wait, I need information from the funeral team, and then make the most accurate comparison." 076 said: "Now that the villagers have changed, the funeral team will definitely notice. They are located at the Liu family, at the foot of the mountain. The way to get clues is completely opposite to ours. They will definitely come."

Qi Lu nodded.

Fortunately, they brought a lot of dry food from Liu's house yesterday, even if they were locked in the warehouse, they wouldn't starve to death.

Zhang Yuanwai's camp bed is at the door of the warehouse, quite far away from them, and there is a stack of straw in the middle, so they don't disturb each other.Likewise, neither of them knew what the other was going to do or say.

Near noon, Qi Lu suddenly started to feel hot all over.

Qi Lu put on two warm clothes, and also put on 076's warm clothes. 076 only has the shirt inside.

"It seems that the next one is you." 076 said, his tone was not good.

Qi Lu keenly sensed that "you are next" means that the first one is Qiao Lu, the second one is Li Yangfan, and the next one is him.

The Zhang family once abandoned a girl, so they were entangled in resentment, and their population gradually became thinner.They lived in the Zhang family and seemed to be given this curse as well.

From Qiao Lu to Li Yangfan, now it's him.

Qi Lu shivered, and continued the discussion with 076: "Last night, Zhang Xiaomei threw us out, that's probably what she meant. It's freezing outside, and the one of us who is not in good health will collapse first and become the third." a dead man."

After saying this, Qi Lu paused again. He said: "Zhang Xiaomei may be grateful to us during the day, but at night she doesn't recognize her relatives and kills people without blinking an eye. Probably she won't be grateful."

"Don't be afraid." 076 fixed his eyes, and then went to pick the lock——

Although Qi Lu didn't know why he picked the lock at all, just like he didn't know how he untied the hemp rope in the first place.

"I'm going to kill Zhang Yuanwai now." 076 said directly: "As long as one of Zhang's family members dies today, it won't be your turn."

crunch--

The iron gate was opened by 076. His upper body was a thin white shirt and his lower body was overalls. Although he was wearing thin clothes, he didn't feel cold.

Just as he was going to kill someone, he didn't feel uneasy about it.

He just said "Kill Zhang Yuanwai" lightly.

"Don't go." Qi Lu stopped him, "Yuanwai Zhang didn't die before, which means he's not under the curse of 'Zhang's family is thin', and something will happen to you now."

Qi Lu's words made 076 calm down for a moment. Indeed, there has always been a saying that "the members of the Zhang family are thin", but Zhang Yuanwai is still alive, which shows that Zhang Xiaomei doesn't want him to die.

As for why he didn't want him to die, it should be the key to decrypting this game.

Moreover, Zhang Yuanwai, as the Zhang family in the rules, has been alive. If he is killed rashly, it may trigger other chain reactions.

Their purpose is to decrypt, not to kill.

076 turned back and asked Qi Lu: "How are you doing? Let me get you some medicine first?"

"It shouldn't be of any use." Maybe it was because of the heavy head caused by the fever, but Qi Lu is extremely sober now.

He continued to analyze to 076: "I'm not dead yet, I just had a simple fever, which means that Zhang Xiaomei doesn't need me to die immediately today, as long as we break the situation of red and white evil spirits early, we'll be fine if we get out early."

Speaking of this, Qi Lu asked 076 to lock the iron gate of the warehouse again, and then shouted Zhang Xiaomei's name.

Zhang Xiaomei was taking care of Zhang Yuanwai in the outside room. Hearing their voices, she came over immediately.

"Xu Jia has a fever, can you get some medicine?" 076 notified Zhang Xiaomei as calmly as possible.

Zhang Xiaomei nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll go right away, just wait! Don't worry."

Zhang Xiaomei's state confirmed their guesses.

"Sure enough, Zhang Xiaomei is like this. She is a very ordinary and kind girl during the day, but at night, she turns into a wicked ghost. Is this her dual nature or..." Qi Lu guessed.

"When a person becomes a ghost, her malice will be magnified infinitely, and her original character will not be seen at all." 076 answered and analyzed: "It is known that Zhang Yuanwai's younger sister is also Mr. Liu's wife. already dead."

"What does this have to do with Mr. Liu's family?"

"Because, Mr. Liu's wife is Zhang Xiaomei. The reason why Zhang Xiaomei chose to return to Zhang Yuan's family, and returned to Zhang's family as an abandoned baby girl, she should be thinking, dignifiedly, as a girl from Zhang's family. status, and marry into the Liu family again."

After listening to 076's analysis, Qi Lu's eyes widened slightly. He didn't know if it was because he was not clear-headed, but he actually got a little bit out of this incident... because it was far-fetched.

Although every step of 076's guess corresponds to what has happened now, but Zhang Xiaomei put in so much effort and killed so many people, is it really for marrying from the Zhang family to the Liu family?

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, 076 looked out, and two people walked over behind the straw stack.

He Yun and the main god.

076 breathed a sigh of relief, got up and opened the door of the warehouse, letting the two of them in.

Seeing 076's appearance, He Yun was shocked: "I'll go, aren't you cold?"

Then, he looked at Qi Lu who was resting on the straw.Seeing that Qi Lu's expression was a bit abnormal, he was about to touch his forehead with his hand, but he stretched his hand halfway, and was interrupted by 076.

"He has a fever, don't touch him." 076 warned coldly.

He Yun raised his eyebrows: "Alright, I don't care."

The Lord God looked from Qi Lu to 076, and he suddenly understood something in his heart.

"Qi Lu told the two of us last night, don't come out casually." He Yun started talking about the game, took out a wooden tablet the size of a spirit card from behind, and handed it to Qi Lu and 076.

"No, look at this." He Yun said, "It appeared in the mourning hall last night."

Qi Lu stared at the "spiritual tablet", on which there were two rows of black-edged characters aiming at——

This kind of black-edged font is usually prepared for the dead.

On the left, on the top is a row of names: Qiao Lu, Li Yangfan, Xu Jia, Xu Heng.

On the right is written: Wen Yao, Zhao Xinheng, He Yun, Song Ze.

The left side is obviously the red affairs group, and the right side is the white affairs group.But Zhang Kun's name was not listed on their red event team.

Qi Lu thought of Zhang Kun's surname, and then asked He Yun: "At the beginning, how many college students were there in your funeral team?"

"There are four in total." He Yun said bluntly.

"We have five here. And that Zhang Kun, you should have seen it when you came in, right? It's the male college student next to the camp bed at the door." Qi Lu said.

He Yun changed his expression slightly when he heard Qi Lu's words: "But there is no one at the door."

The Lord God also testified: "Yes, there is no one at the door."

Qi Lu frowned, but he didn't take it to heart, he just thought it was Zhang Yuanwai who woke up, and they left.

"Has anyone died in your funeral team?" Qi Lu continued to ask about other things.

"No." He Yun said: "Not only is there no dead person, there was one more person yesterday, and one more person today. What's even more weird is that neither the main god nor I felt anything wrong, and the surrounding Liu family didn't feel that there was anything wrong. They all thought it was normal, as if there were 6 people in our funeral team from the beginning."

"The two extra people are..."

"A man and a woman, the woman's name is Qiao Lu, and the man's name is Li Yangfan." He Yun said, he had met Li Yangfan before, and now he felt a little terrified in his heart.

The dead members of the Zhang family came to the Liu family.Those who died in the red affairs group immediately reappeared in the funeral affairs group.

This is like a transition between yin and yang. The red event group symbolizes the human world, so it is on the mountain, and the white event group symbolizes the underworld, so it is at the foot of the mountain.

No wonder Zhang Yuanwai's younger sister "appeared" in the Liu family after being abandoned.It should not be that the Liu family picked it up by chance, but Zhang Yuanwai's younger sister should have died, so she appeared in the "Underworld".

Everyone thought of this layer.

"What red and white baleful spirits clash, is an evil spirit who is unwilling to be abandoned and wants to return to the human world." 076 sneered, but it was a named theme.

From the beginning to the end, the origin of all evil results stemmed from the abandonment of a daughter by the Zhang family.

He Yun had never experienced this kind of dungeon, and was a little panicked: "Then we, are we all in the funeral team? Are we all in the underworld?"

"..." Qi Lu explained: "The underworld is just a metaphor."

Said, Qi Lu raised his head, glanced at the main god, then thought of what 076 told him, he turned his face away again.

"The so-called Yincao Difu may be the original background story of the dungeon. An abandoned daughter came to the Yincao Difu and wanted to return to her family. The King of Hades granted her a birthday and asked her to return to the Zhang family and be the Zhang family again. "

Qi Lu continued to explain in his own way: "Then, the game came and changed the underworld to a wealthy family at the foot of the mountain. Zhang Xiaomei's 'return to the world' also changed to Zhang Yuanwai adopting a little girl. In this way, the whole story It makes sense in the game."

"And Zhang Xiaomei acts as an evil spirit at night to kill other members of the Zhang family, which is also in line with the nature of evil spirits."

He Yun understands.

The entire dungeon is more like a dramatic metaphor, and every character and location has a meaning behind it.

For example, the abandoned daughter Zhang Xiaomei, she returned to the Zhang family again, and would kill a member of the Zhang family every night.

But good and evil will be rewarded in the end, because Zhang Xiaomei was the one who was abandoned, so Zhang Xiaomei was also the one who killed Zhang's family.

Qi Lu then raised his own question: "Just one more thing, I don't know if you have noticed that the villagers today seem to be more fierce, not as kind and simple as when they first entered the game. I am a little confused about this."

The Lord God took the spirit card and said, "Because two people from the Red Affairs Team died."

Seeing that they were puzzled, the Lord God continued to explain: "I was also thinking about it before. If the story can be formed on its own, why add a group of foreign college students? There are not so many red and white things in the village. What is there? Invitations or something, but arranged for us to join here as college students."

"I just heard you analyze the metaphor of the underworld and the yang, and the changes in the entire villagers. I slowly recalled the memory of the previous dungeon design-why did the game allow a group of college students to participate in the game."

The Lord God continued: "Because every college student in the Red Affairs Team symbolizes a beautiful quality of a living person."

"what?"

"Li Yangfan and Qiao Lu both died, and the villagers changed from being simple and kind to ignorant. This just corresponds to the slowing down of cognitive ability. The red event team has reduced two college students, one male and one female. Girls symbolize kindness. Boys symbolize alertness, and although that Li Yangfan is not very alert, it is still a symbol. So when Qiao Lu and Li Yangfan die, the people in the village will lack kindness and alertness, and become ignorant and cruel."

"What if another college student dies in the Red Affairs Team?"

Just as He Yun made this assumption, 076's eyes immediately gouged out as if poisoned.

He Yun realized later that this guess was a bit scary, after all, the next college student——was Qi Lu.

076 Why Let Qi Lu Take Risks? !

"It should be more ignorant or daring. The whole village will become a real troublemaker. A few of us college students will be trapped in the funeral team of the Liu family. According to the common routine on the legal channel, we will become a group [from At the beginning, the college students who were kidnapped into the mountains]. Then the red and white evil spirits clash, and then we will fail again."

The Lord God explained.

After hearing this, everyone felt a little heavy in their hearts.

This also seems to be a kind of irony--

A group of college students came here full of expectations to give a practical report, but they couldn't save the backward ignorant and ignorant, and finally died in a barren mountain village.

"However, 076 should have some bugs." The main god spoke again.

Both He Yun and Qi Lu raised their heads, and after listening to the main god's words, they turned their attention to 076.

"Yesterday you and 076 came to Liu's house together. According to the metaphor of the game, it's like you have been to the gate of hell once, but now you have a high fever, and 076 is fine."

The Lord God half squatted down, took the initiative to look up at Qi Lu, and said half-jokingly: "The evil spirit on 076 is much more powerful than the so-called evil spirits and the so-called underworld here."

Qi Lu turned his face away for a while, he could hear that the main god said these words to him on purpose, as if to tell him that 076 had a lot of blood on his hands before, and that 076 is not a good person and so on.

Qi Lu didn't quite understand why the main god told him this on purpose, he originally wanted to look up at 076, but in the corner of his vision he saw that 076 had turned his face away and looked away, Qi Lu had no choice but to take back his half-raised gaze.

Qi Lu followed his heart and replied, "So what?"

As soon as Qi Lu said this, everyone present was stunned.Including 076.

"You have been persuading me many times, reminding me almost all the time that 076 is not a good person." Qi Lu opened his mouth and continued: "But you all forget one thing, 076 was also Qi Lu. No one will not believe in themselves, but to choose an outsider."

"We are one, and everyone else is outsiders in our eyes."

Qi Lu said enough in one breath, and immediately coughed twice, He Yun got up and went outside to find hot water for him to drink.

Qi Lu's words were firm, but he was not telling the main god, but reminding 076.

——Judger 076 used to be the player Qi Lu.

If they had a rift with each other again, not to mention that the game was rotten, Qi Lu would probably feel that he was rotten too.

The Lord God smiled and stopped talking about this.

"It's best for you to make your own judgment." The Lord God continued, "You will know more after the game is over."

Qi Lu didn't want to talk too much with the main god, and besides, what he said just now was not meant to the main god.

Qi Lu stared at 076's back, 076 quickly turned around, as if he didn't hear anything, squatted down, and reached out to stroke the temperature of his forehead.

"The fever hasn't subsided." 076 said.

Qi Lu didn't understand, so he said, "I haven't taken any medicine yet, how can I reduce my fever?"

"You were so angry when you spoke just now, I thought you had a fever." 076 said calmly.

Qi Lu felt that 076 was a bit annoying at this time, and he didn't bother to talk to him anymore.

"Let's not talk about this." The main god stood up, interrupted the strange interaction between the two of them, and then talked about the main story.

"What's next? According to the order on the spirit card, Qi Lu should be next. What are you going to do?" the Lord God asked.

"Face it face-to-face once at night." 076 said: "Always avoiding risks is not the answer. What kind of grievances and evil fires does this evil spirit have? I always have to meet myself for a while to find out."

The main god's answer to 076 is not surprising. After all, 076 in the past was more impulsive and desperate than now. Since the time was reversed and he returned to the beginning of the game, he was already very good.

Qi Lu shook his head: "Don't you?"

The author has something to say: Happy Valentine's Day, dear children!

I'm getting ready for the end, and the emotional drama will probably account for a large proportion of it later.Then it's... well, let's send out a few more red envelopes in this chapter
