[Infinite Horror] Xiao Ran

?Half asleep and half awake, Chu Xiaoran felt a strange sense of crisis, but this premonition was not strong, at least not enough to wake her up from the dream.After being drowsy for a while, she realized that something was wrong—she should be very alert when she sleeps, why did she fall into this half-asleep and half-awake state and didn't wake up for a long time?

Just when she was struggling to wake up, there was a loud bang on the opposite door, and Chu Xiaoran jumped up from the bed with a jolt - the place beside Zhan Lan was empty.Without further ado, she grabbed the coat beside the bed and put it on, opened the window and jumped out from the third floor, propped herself up on the window frame on the second floor, and landed firmly.As soon as she landed, she stepped on the ground, opened the first-order gene lock, and flew out like an arrow.

There was already a figure running in front of her, it was Zheng Zha.He was also running, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he turned his head and shouted loudly, "Xiao Ran, Luo Li disappeared in the middle of the night!"

While he was talking, Chu Xiaoran had already seen two dark spots on the sea in the distance. They were Zhan Lan and Luo Li, but they were far apart, at least hundreds of meters away.Zheng Zha came out much earlier than her, and now that he had reached the beach, he plunged into the sea without hesitation and swam straight towards Luo Li.

Chu Xiaoran had just connected to the nearby camera and confirmed that there were no tourists nearby. She summoned the light armor, jumped into the cockpit, and then drove Nightingale to the distance, arriving earlier than Zheng Zha.Nightingale descended to the surface of the sea, threw out an inflatable mattress that was about the size of a double bed, picked Zhan Lan onto the air mattress, and then pushed the air mattress to Zheng Zha's side.

Zheng Zha had already seen the movement, and he was also swimming this way, and the two sides got together after a while.Chu Xiaoran put away her light armor, and Zheng Zha and Zheng Zha each treated Zhan Lan and Luo Li. Not long after, Zhan Lan woke up panting and coughing, and tremblingly grasped Chu Xiaoran's hand. After a while, Luo Li also woke up coughing. Come over, buried in Zheng Zha's chest and kept sobbing.

"What's the matter? Li'er, what's the matter?" Zheng Zha coaxed in a low voice while patting Luo Li's back lightly.

Luo Li was still sobbing on Zheng Zha's chest, but Zhan Lan calmed down a bit first, panting and said, "I don't know what happened, I was sleeping soundly at that time, and suddenly I stood up, I just felt that my body seemed to have its own body. The consciousness is average, I went downstairs and walked out of the hotel, and then walked to the beach step by step. At that time, I was really scared, and I just kept calling your names in my heart... I don’t know if it’s true after strengthening my mental quality With telepathy, I seemed to feel the existence of the two of you at that time, and then I didn't know anything..."

While talking, Chu Xiaoran kept pushing the air cushion to swim to the shore, while Zheng Zha was so shocked that he forgot to paddle, stared straight at Zhan Lan and said, "But the curse is over, it shouldn't be the ghost that controls you , this possibility is already very small..."

"It's not a ghost, otherwise the talisman paper will burn." Chu Xiaoran continued, "This is more like hypnosis...not a ghost, but man-made! Zheng Zha, think about it, who in our team has the most contrast between the front and back, The most incomprehensible strength, none of us understand him? Who has the ability to hide his strength and attack us secretly?"

Zheng Zha thought for a long time, then sighed and said, "In summary, the time when Zhan Lan strengthened his mental quality is the most contrasting with the person who is the most incomprehensible... Except for Chu Xuan, I can only think of Zhang Jie. But If Chu Xuan wants to harm Zhan Lan, there is no need to advise her to learn mental power scanning..."

Chu Xiaoran said: "Not only that, Chu Xuan and I grew up together, we have nothing to hide from each other, he can indeed hypnotize, but with Chu Xuan's wisdom, if he really wanted to kill someone, how could he leave behind so obvious loophole? The only person who can do this is..."

"Zhang Jie!" The two said at the same time.Luo Li trembled slightly, and grabbed Zheng Zha's clothes tightly.Zheng Zha stroked her hair reassuringly, and heard Zhan Lan answer: "I still remember the first time I met him, this man gave us a very strong and powerful feeling, but after that, he gradually hid In your brilliance, why? After much deliberation, I can only think of one answer.

"He wants to stand in the safest place... Instead of showing his strength to take responsibility, it's better to hide himself in the aura of the strong. He doesn't want to be the first bird, but wants to keep his strength and become stronger... Once It is known that he is retaining his strength, so killing the person who threatened his lies is the only possibility I can think of..."

"After these few horror movies, each of us has side plots. No matter what, Zhang Jie will have several D-level or C-level side lines." Chu Xiaoran said softly, "Have you ever seen him strengthen any attributes, Zheng Zheng?" Zha? Every time we talked about strengthening attributes, only Zhang Jie didn’t exchange anything, at least he didn’t let us know anything. Also, when everyone is strengthening, he should be very conspicuous when he doesn’t exchange anything, but before I bring it up , why did you ignore this?"

Zheng Zha was silent for a long time, until they reached the shore and Chu Xiaoran threw the air cushion on the beach, he said in a deep voice: "Until there is no definite evidence, I will never doubt anyone casually, but I will Announcing the fact that Lier was attacked will never scare Lier again... If it is really him, I will definitely kill him with my own hands!"

Chu Xiaoran knew that this was Zheng Zha's bottom line, so she didn't say anything, and the four of them went back to the room silently.Chu Xiaoran took out a towel from the bathroom, put it on Zhan Lan, and said softly, "Have you given up yet?"

Zhan Lan was taken aback for a moment, then lay on Chu Xiaoran's body and burst into tears.Chu Xiaoran hugged her and said, "Although you have been deliberately acting as if you are not close to Zheng Zha, you still played with Luo Li next to him in the afternoon. When you came back this way, you didn't even look at Zheng Zha at all. , has been leaning on me."

Zhan Lan nodded, and said while weeping: "I can't help it... I know that he is not the one I really love, and I can't intervene between him and Sister Luo Li as a mistress, but in such a dangerous world, he And so powerful, if it wasn't for you, Xiaoran, I might have fallen in love with him a long time ago... But just now at sea, I vaguely perceived your direction, desperately wanting to be saved, but felt that he didn't hesitate I swam to Luo Li... That's when I realized that no one can love me like him, and no one can love me like him again..." She couldn't help crying.

Chu Xiaoran vaguely understood that the last two "he" did not refer to Zheng Zha, but she didn't want to ask more about Zhan Lan's mental state, not to mention she wasn't interested at all.She just sat silently, waiting for Zhan Lan to finally calm down, took a shower, and they fell asleep together again.It's just that it's almost early morning, and Chu Xiaoran woke up after not sleeping for a few hours. She didn't want to wake Zhan Lan up, so she left a note and went out quietly, knocking on Chu Xuan's door.

Within a few seconds, Chu Xuan opened the door neatly dressed.He let Chu Xiaoran into the room, closed the door, and said, "What happened at night?"

Chu Xiaoran sat down on the sofa, starting from her walk with Zhan Lan, and narrated the whole night's events one by one.After listening to her quietly, Chu Xuan frowned and said, "So, there are two possibilities. The first is that Zhang Jie has already planned to do something. Now that Zheng Zha is taking Luo Li, he will definitely save Luo Li first. Instead of Zhan Lan, last night became his opportunity to strike. The second is... Zhang Jie heard your conversation, or at least guessed what you were talking about! He didn't want to be exposed, so he threatened him the most. Zhan Lan made a move...Maybe, he is listening to our conversation right now!"

Chu Xiaoran had already thought about this possibility, but she was still a little startled when she heard what Chu Xuan said.She thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "No. Zhang Jie has to control you and Zheng Zha to fall into a deep sleep at night, and also manipulate Zhan Lan, who is not weak in mental strength, it must be exhausting. If he is not asleep at this time , It will definitely show up tomorrow, isn’t it plainly arousing doubts? I think Zhang Jie probably hasn’t planned to flop with all of us.”

Chu Xuan nodded and said: "I also think that there is a [-]% chance that he is sleeping now. But even if he heard it, it doesn't matter, anyway, we were going to force him out... Zheng Zha surprised me, now The evidence is almost conclusive. I can be more than [-]% sure that Zhang Jie must be a hidden spiritual power, and judging from his attack on Luo Li, he is obviously very threatening to Zheng Zha. Why is Zheng Zha now Still insist on trusting him?"

Chu Xiaoran shook her head and said: "Although he is indeed irrational and troublesome..." She suddenly smiled, "I think Zheng Zha is the most likable. In this world, he can still maintain this Purity and trust, although they are too naive, are really rare. The rarer something is, the more precious it is, and everyone in the team likes him, that’s probably the case.” After finishing speaking, she paused, looked at Chu Xuan slightly With a confused expression, he smiled and said, "Maybe you are the same?"

"Do you like it..." Chu Xuan said lightly, "I don't know what kind of feelings this is."

Chu Xiaoran sighed helplessly, and just about to speak, Chu Xuan went on to say: "But what you said is also reasonable, I ignored the part of human nature, Zheng Zha's character is indeed attractive, but this is Undeniable, maybe..." He began to ponder as he spoke, but he didn't say the second half of the sentence.Chu Xiaoran knew that he was worried about Zhang Jie, so she changed the subject and picked up the phone in the room to order breakfast.

When everyone got together at noon that day, Zheng Zha told about Zhan Lan's attack. Everyone was very shocked, and Zhang Jie was no different.In order to prevent the so-called "Grudge" attack, everyone once again lived in a large suite, but in the next few days, everyone did not encounter any attacks again.

On the fifth day, the rest of the people returned to the main god's space.Chu Xiaoran and Chu Xuan stayed for a few more days, watched the few people disappear before their eyes, and walked back to the hotel side by side, changing the previous room into a double suite again.After entering the room, Chu Xiaoran checked the surroundings and nodded.Only then did Chu Xuan calmly say, "You unlocked the first-order gene lock...why didn't the main god notice it?"

In fact, the Zhongzhou team had already met the conditions for team battles when they were aliens: Zheng Zha, Chu Xiaoran, and Zhang Yi all unlocked the gene locks at that time.However, the stele of the team battle did not appear in the space until after the Grudge.Chu Xuan and Zhao Yingkong were the two who newly opened the gene lock in the Grudge, and they did meet the requirements, but this also meant that one of the three people who were aliens must not be counted.

"I didn't know until I saw the stele." Chu Xiaoran pursed her lips and said slowly, "Actually, it's unknown whether the Lord God has included me in the number of people who have unlocked the gene lock...at least Be sure, the Lord God cannot scan me to determine the degree of my gene lock. However, as such a super computer, the Lord God must have a relationship. If he does not find the gene lock when he scans me, but scans others In their memory, they discovered that I had turned on the gene lock. Wouldn’t these two inconsistent facts cause a program conflict?... Even if no one noticed that I had turned on the gene lock at the last moment in Alien One, at least you knew that I had already turned on the gene lock. It's on. Or, the main god doesn't scan the memory completely?"

"The main god will definitely scan the memory in an all-round way, which can be explained from the limiting conditions of returning to reality. But I prefer that everyone's memory is only associated with himself, and the main god will not make impressions about other people in the memory Corresponding to the results of scanning other people, after all, each of us can pretend in front of our teammates, and the memories of other people in our minds may not all be true..." Chu Xuan bit his finger and said, "Using the main god to change the difficulty of horror movies From the perspective of behavior and dialogue behavior, it must have extremely high intelligence. In other words, its semantic recognition ability is definitely beyond the reach of modern technology. With such an ability, its comprehensive analysis ability must not be bad. Such a loophole should be considered an accident.”

"Semantic recognition ability?" Chu Xiaoran's eyes flashed, "So, you've already confirmed... the main god is a super computer?"

"Its behavior pattern is obviously not human, and if it is a more advanced intelligent life, its performance is definitely not like this... Judging from some of the Lord God's own 'rules' and its performance, I am [-]% sure that it is A super computer, but since you have been able to deceive it, I can basically be sure now." Chu Xuan said, "Judging from the current performance of the main god, its strength is definitely far beyond ours, and since it provides The exchange of spiritual power shows that spiritual power can't resist it. Then, you can deceive it instinctively without knowing it, only a computer is possible... However, your ability can even be compared with the main god. Lied to me, I was really surprised."

"I'm also very surprised." Chu Xiaoran nodded and said, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't have such strength... Could it be that my special ability is like a gene lock, and there is still great potential to be discovered? Although With the opening of the gene lock, my ability has indeed greatly improved, but... the accident I encountered back then was not caused by genetic mutation!"

Chu Xuan shook his head and said: "Yes, we always thought that some structures of the cerebral cortex had mutated, but it seems that our thinking was too simple...The conditions here are not convenient, and I will give you a detailed explanation when we go back. Check it out."

Chu Xiaoran nodded solemnly.The ability to control the computer is like a gift, but also like a curse. However, she has used it for so many years, but she never knew that it is so powerful that it can quietly deceive the Lord God, and it can be so uncontrollable... in the process of deception She herself felt nothing.

Compared with the joy of deceiving the Lord God, the two of them are more worried at this time.Chu Xiaoran is well aware of her ability, if such ability is not controlled, even if she just acts on instinct, it will be disastrous.

In the next few days, the two of them either read the materials or practiced their abilities, and they didn't go back until the tenth day.The extra few days were just a moment in the main god's space, and the rest of the people didn't notice it at all.After going back, Chu Xuan really did a detailed physical examination for Chu Xiaoran, but there was no result, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being.

There are now nine people in the team, and in the last few days, the teams simply conducted a few confrontation exercises, which can be regarded as mental preparations for the team battle.Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, Zhao Yingkong, Qi Tengyi, Zhang Yi's first team, Chu Xiaoran, Chu Xuan, Zhang Jie, and Zero Point One's team.Both sides have their own winners and losers. After all, Zheng Zha's side is more powerful, while Chu Xiaoran's side has Chu Xuan's layout. In the end, Chu Xiaoran's side won a few more rounds.

Ten days passed in a flash, and on the morning of the tenth day, everyone gathered again in the Main God Square, but this time, when several people walked into the beam of light, their hearts felt a little extra heavy.

"Enter the beam of light within 30 seconds, lock on the transfer target, and start teleporting the day after tomorrow..."
