Chapter 195 "Man" and Ghost

This town is not big.

But it takes at least half an hour to walk around the whole town.

But Xia Letian doesn't have that much time, so the only way is to climb to a high place, so that he can roughly see the town at a glance.

Xia Letian looked around, and soon found a fairly tall building in the town.

He took out the hook rope from the space package, swung it vigorously to grab the top directly, and tried to pull it to make sure it was stable, then used this rope to climb directly to the highest point...

It's a pity that this building is not very high, and you can't see the whole face of the town, at least it saves time compared to walking around the town with your feet.

Xia Letian just glanced at the town, and his expression suddenly became weird.

The building structure of the town seems to be a bit too wrong. The entire outer edge turned out to be extremely regular straight lines, forming four corners and forming a four-sided rectangle.

Is it a coincidence?

Xia Letian doesn't think so.

Looking at the time, he had already wasted 10 minutes, Xia Letian hurriedly climbed down and returned to the previous gathering point, the voices inside stopped abruptly.

Xia Letian opened the door and went in, and saw Bai Ziqiu and Mi Chuan, except for the player named Sun Dongkang, who obviously died in the last round of checkpoints.

After Mi Chuan saw Xia Letian, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stood up to greet Xia Letian, "Boss, you are finally here."

Xia Letian explained: "I went out to check this small town, so I wasted a little time."

Mi Chuan suddenly nodded.

It turned out to be the case.

No matter how you say it, this boss is No. 1 in the rankings. In terms of strength, he must be much stronger than himself, and he must have come out of the coffin earlier than himself.

Bai Ziqiu asked, "What did you find out?"

Xia Letian didn't intend to hide the information he found, but told the two of them directly, "I found some not very important information."

Bai Ziqiu immediately sat upright, apparently very concerned about the not very important information that Xia Letian said.

Mi Chuan obviously thought so too.

Xia Letian said: "I checked every nearby yard and found that every household has coffins, but the number of coffins corresponds to the number of people in the yard."

Mi Chuan was stunned, and said, "That is to say, are all the people in this small town dead?"

Bai Ziqiu didn't speak, he was just thinking.

The extremely pale skin looked extremely strange in the gloomy town atmosphere.

That's why Mi Chuan didn't dare to look at Bai Ziqiu too much, he always felt panicked.

Bai Ziqiu seemed to be used to this kind of gaze, his expression was extremely calm from the beginning to the end, even calm like a pool of stagnant water, terrifyingly silent.

Xia Letian explained to Mi Chuan: "Not necessarily, don't forget those guides, now two rounds of games have passed, if each player will be matched with a person and a ghost, then until now, this There should be at least nine humans alive in the small town."

Mi Chuan nodded, "Boss, you are right, so is it possible that those lying in those coffins are not all ghosts, but some of them are people?"

Xia Letian said: "Very likely."

After saying this, Xia Letian added: "But I knocked on one of the coffins, and there was no movement inside."

Mi Chuan couldn't help taking a breath, his eyes were full of admiration and horror.

He could imagine how terrifying such a scene would be, and this boss actually dared to go to the small courtyard alone, and even dared to knock three times to test the coffin.

This can no longer be described as bold.

Bai Ziqiu's calm eyes flashed a little turmoil, and he seemed a little surprised by Xia Letian's actions, but she wanted to know other things more than this.

"Have you opened it?" Bai Ziqiu asked.

Xia Letian immediately understood what Bai Ziqiu said, and replied: "No, I'm worried that this will trigger the opportunity for the ghost to kill."

Although Bai Ziqiu had already guessed the answer, he nodded slowly after hearing Xia Letian's answer, "Oh."

it's a pity.

Otherwise, she would know whether the person lying in the coffin was a human or a ghost.

Xia Letian didn't care what Bai Ziqiu was thinking, but continued to talk about the information he found. "There is one more important thing. The structure of this small town is very strange. It is an unconventional rectangle with very straight lines."

Bai Ziqiu listened quietly, and slowly combed his hair.

"Rectangular?" Mi Chuan was taken aback when he heard the words, "This is a bit strange."

After all, many small towns are almost of different shapes, and there are very few such regular quadrilaterals.

"Of course, there is another thing besides this. I don't know if the game ignores this point, or I just think too much."

Xia Letian paused, and continued, "My hearing is different from ordinary people. When I asked for help from the coffin on the right, from the beginning to the whole process after the coffin was opened, I didn't hear the leader walking or saying anything. The sound of a coffin being opened."

Mi Chuan opened his mouth wide, "Really?"

Xia Letian said: "I'm only talking about what I've discovered. My intuition tells me that the meaning of the existence of these guides is definitely not just as simple as leading the way."

Bai Ziqiu caught an important message from Xia Letian's words just now, and said, "The coffins you knocked in the second round are all on the right side?"

Mi Chuan's eyes widened slightly, "Could it be that you are all of them?"

Xia Letian's eyes sank, "This is definitely not a coincidence, I just don't know what the meaning of the game's setting is."

Mi Chuan touched his stubble-protruding chin, and suddenly thought: "Could it be to paralyze us? Think about it, the coffins on the right side of the first two rounds are all people, will this make us players subconsciously Do you think the coffin on the right side of the third round is still a person?"

Maybe the right side of the third wheel will become a ghost.

However, due to the completely similar results in the first two rounds, it is very likely that the player's judgment in the third round will be misled, so choosing the wrong coffin will directly trigger the opportunity for the ghost to kill.

Xia Letian pondered: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

For a while, the three were silent.

Mi Chuan thought for a while, and said, "Boss, tell me... will the third round of the game still allow us to judge the identity of the coffin?"

Xia Letian pondered for a while, and said, "Maybe, maybe not."

When Mi Chuan heard the words, he couldn't help but slander.

It's the same as not answering,

However, Mi Chuan is also very clear that even No.1 on the leaderboard cannot know what the third rule is.

His purpose of asking this question was purely to find comfort for himself.

"Oh, I hope I can survive this third level." Mi Chuan said.

Xia Letian was silent.

At this moment, another gong sounded.

The three of them froze suddenly, realizing that the third level was coming soon.

Xia Letian raised his head and listened carefully to the source of the gong sound, his expression became slightly weird. Listening carefully, the sound seemed to come from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Letian's eyes went dark, and he was locked in a pitch-black coffin again. Like last time, this was a brand new coffin, and the flashlight that was purposely left before did not exist.

Xia Letian took out the flashlight and stood in the corner again, and waited for three seconds before opening the game task, and a task reminder about the third round of checkpoints appeared on it.

[Escape from the coffin! 】

[Countdown: 60 minutes]

Xia Letian's eyes froze slightly, his expression became extremely ugly.

In the third round, there were no detailed rules of the game. There were only these two lines of information, which basically meant nothing.

Most importantly, Xia Letian discovered that the game time in the third round was double that of the first two rounds.

This shows what?

Does this mean that the rules of the third round of the game are likely to be more difficult than the first two rounds, so the game will give players an hour to find a way out.

Then escape the coffin.

But the question is how to escape?

The first two rounds of the game clearly pointed out how to escape from the coffin, but this time there is no information. Is it necessary for the player to actively find the rules?

For example - take the initiative to knock on the coffins on both sides to ask questions, so as to distinguish which coffin is a person, and then ask for help?

Thinking of this, Xia Letian immediately rejected this idea. There is still plenty of time now, so there is no need for him to trigger the game conditions so hastily, lest he fall into the trap deliberately set by the game.

This third round of the game has been made quite clear.

There is only one way to survive, and that is to escape from the coffin within an hour, just like the previous two rounds of checkpoints.

But Xia Letian always felt that he seemed to have overlooked some clues.

He couldn't help frowning, and turned to the previous main task again.

The task clearly stated that when the gong sounds, the player will be locked in the coffin immediately, please find a way to escape from the coffin.

In addition, the game also requires players to strictly abide by the rules of the game, and they cannot be forced out of the coffin, otherwise they will be judged to have violated the rules and will be killed directly.

But, why didn't there be any rule prompts in the third round?

correct.

Xia Letian thought of something again, and hurriedly dug out the content of the first round of game rules, and found the bottom and its tiny hints.

——Please be careful, don’t ask random questions that shouldn’t be asked, maybe you will die faster, of course, you have to ask more, then maybe you can really survive.

Xia Letian chewed this sentence carefully and repeatedly.

At the beginning, Xia Letian thought that the real meaning of this sentence was to ask him to ask the leader more, maybe he could find clues in this way.

The leader's performance revealed a message from the very beginning.

They seemed unwilling to let Xia Letian stay in the small town too much, let alone let Xia Letian touch those coffins, as if they were afraid of being discovered.

But the more this happened, the more puzzled Xia Letian became. What are these leaders that they don't want players to discover?

Another very important piece of information is—since the identities of these guides have been set as "people" by the game, why can they open the coffin quietly and crawl out of it, and walk without even the slightest sound.

It's almost like a ghost.

like a ghost? ! !

Xia Letian's eyes widened suddenly, and his heart beat faster.

If the identities of these "people" are set as ghosts, all these unreasonable things seem to become—reasonable.

However, the game has clearly pointed out that there will be a person and a ghost in each of the two coffins. Otherwise, the two players, Sun Dongkang and Wang Cuifen, would not die because of the wrong choice.

Xia Letian frowned tightly again, and had to carefully check the mission content again, trying to find out what was wrong.

After reading it back and forth three times, Xia Letian subtly found that in the main mission and the next two level rules, the word 'person' was deliberately put in single quotation marks.

The word ghost, however, did not add the so-called single quotation marks.

The most subtle thing is that in the first round of the game, it was clearly stated that there are 'humans' and ghosts in the coffins on both sides, but at the same time, one "can only tell the truth" and the other "can only tell lies."

But the final result clearly shows that the identity of the coffin who "can only tell lies" is actually a so-called 'person'.

This made Xia Letian feel that in this level, the attributes of humans and ghosts seemed to be exchanged, creating an extremely inconsistent feeling.

People become ghosts, and ghosts become people.

When Xia Letian thought of this, a terrible thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

If this is the case, then it can explain why the 'human' coffin in the first level can only tell lies.

They were all fooled by this game mission! ! !
