Chapter 241: Ghost in the Mirror (Part 4)
Jie Fangcheng is really annoying.
Originally, he didn't like to use his brain. But now that Zhang Daoan was not around, he had to think about many things by himself.
He has been in this game for so long, but he hasn't even seen his opponent yet. As a result, a Guan Yingying with no memory appears.
Everything was showing, and he had to analyze what was going on.
So annoying!
As a result, he was so annoyed. After entering the hotel, he originally wanted to take a rest. He was lying there, but there was a ghost next to him. He was lying beside his bed and muttering something like "Are you pretending to sleep?" and then he took the remote control and turned on the TV again.
Jie Fangcheng couldn't pretend not to hear the harsh BGM and strange tone.
How could he not be angry?
As a result, when this group of kids harassed him, each one was more aggressive than the other. When he smashed the table and picked up the table legs to go find them, each one of them ran away faster than the other.
It’s annoying! I’m both annoyed and angry!
The most infuriating thing is that Jie Fangcheng couldn’t catch up with them.
Obviously, the speed of the NPCs in the third-level copy has been qualitatively improved. Jie Fangcheng is not here in person, so his speed is a disadvantage. In addition, these ghosts probably have the ability to pass through walls. Often, when Jie Fangcheng walks towards the direction of the sound with a stick in hand, the room is already empty.
He smashed open a few doors, and the ghosts were playing hide-and-seek with him.
Although he didn't know what the situation was in this copy, seeing that there were no other living NPCs around and the entire city was like a dead city, with no humans on the road at all, Jie Fangcheng became very brave.
"You're not coming out, are you?!"
Jie Fangcheng put away the stick in his hand and walked out of the hotel.
The shivering ghosts in the hotel were still rejoicing, but a few seconds later, it felt like the entire hotel was moving.
? ?
Buzz——Boom——
It was not just the hotel, even Guan Yingying, who was one stop away, suddenly raised her head.
She was sitting in a bar at the moment. She had just finished watching the advertisement on TV, found the landline in the bar, and was hesitating whether to make the call.
Then the reminder sounded in my mind.
She was still wondering what was going on when a sound like an explosion was heard nearby.
What's going on?
Guan Yingying hurried out of the bar. Without looking hard, she saw smoke billowing in the distance, as if a building was really collapsing.
What is happening? ?
Since entering this game, Guan Yingying has been playing to her strengths - she is not very strong in combat, but she is careful and her mind works quickly.
Therefore, in the previous copies, there were situations where she had to fall behind due to her lack of strength. She was not panicked when she was kicked out of the bus. It can even be said that she took the initiative to show weakness and got off the bus early.
Because Guan Yingying knew very well that if she stayed on the bus all the time, she might not even be able to get the second spot to get off, and would most likely be squeezed to be the last one to get off, which would be too dangerous.
Facts have proved that her idea seems to be correct.
The dead He Mingguang was very weak, and he should be the last player to get off the bus.
Although everything seemed dangerous, it seemed to have been within Guan Yingying's expectations...except that the sudden explosion was not within her expectations.
Judging from the direction, that seems to be the place where the first player got off?
Was this noise caused by that strange player?
If it were in the past, Guan Yingying would most likely go there and take a look out of enthusiasm.
But not now.
She just frowned and thought about it.
There are two prompts in the system just now:
One is that the player He Mingguang has died in the mirror.
Inside the mirror...the ghost in the mirror.
What was this hinting at? Guan Yingying couldn't figure it out for a moment.
But the second hint is obvious.
——No one answered the hotline 4444444 and the activity cannot continue.
He Mingguang died and no one answered line 4444444, which means that He Mingguang was the player who originally answered the call.
How did he find this phone line?
Judging from the time, He Mingguang was the last person to get off the bus, so it should not have been possible for him to find the exact location of the phone in such a short time.
Even if he was really so quick and found phone line 4444444 immediately after getting off the car, players who could enter the third-level dungeon were not fools, and he would not be so reckless as to use this key phone directly.
It is very likely that He Mingguang accidentally stumbled into some place and answered the call.
Where is it?
As for the activities mentioned in the system prompts...the only activity they know of at the moment is the "Sleeping Tester" activity.
After combining these clues, Guan Yingying quickly understood it in her mind.
The place where phone number 4444444 is located needs to be guarded by a player for the sleep tester activity to continue.
As for the reason why there is the Sleep Tester activity, think about what is said in the advertisement. It is very likely that only when the activity is started will players have the opportunity to enter the Xinxin Home Community to look for clues.
The place where the death phone is located looks very dangerous, and no one knows what the situation is inside the Xinxin Home Community.
In this situation, the players have to decide who stays on the phone and who enters the community, which is another level.
Just as the players I met before said... the danger of the ghost book is increasing sharply.
It only took Guan Yingying a few seconds to analyze all this. After she finished thinking, she looked at the location where the explosion sounded.
...I don’t know why, but I seemed to hear something screaming.
That shouldn't be the case, right? It's quite far away.
But even though no one knew what happened, Guan Yingying was the second stop. If there was any problem with the first stop, she would be the next stop.
There is no time to lose. We can’t just sit here and wait for death!
Without saying a word, Guan Yingying ran quickly towards the third stop.
After fifteen or sixteen minutes, a person came from the direction of the explosion site filled with smoke.
Jie Fangcheng didn't take a stick either...mainly because all the sticks that could be used had been used for chopping.
It seemed that the ghosts were unable to leave the hotel, so when the hotel was collapsed by Jie Fangcheng twice, they were caught in a jar.
In fact, his attack was very targeted. He only caught and knocked away the few who had fierce eyes and wanted to eat him. He didn't even look at the other trembling ghosts Fang Cheng.
He couldn't stay in this hotel anyway. He thought again and felt that this dungeon was indeed very dangerous. He didn't even understand what was going on in this dungeon when he came in, and a player died in less than an hour.
Even if Jie Fangcheng didn't know what was going on with Guan Yingying's current condition, this girl seemed to be from his little world after all. Jie Fangcheng knew that this copy was dangerous, so he couldn't just stand by and watch her die, right?
So Jie Fangcheng followed the map on the bus stop sign and found the place.
He really didn't know which station Guan Yingying was at, but Manager Xie's idea was very simple.
If you don’t know which station it is, then just visit every station!
"It seems there isn't one here." After Jie Fangcheng arrived at the platform of the second station, he put his hands on the awning and quickly found a bar nearby.
He walked around the bar and found nothing, so he headed to the third stop without stopping.
Over there, Guan Yingying was walking quite fast and had already reached the third stop.
She looked around at the bus stop and soon saw a camera studio there.
When Guan Yingying arrived at the photo studio, she met up with the players at the third stop.
"You mean, there seems to be a problem at the first stop?" The third player to get off the bus was called Iris, a fire-blooded man.
Players with this bloodline will turn red all over, and will have horns similar to rhinoceros horns growing on their foreheads.
Iris' eyes were like two burning fires. He looked at Guan Yingying, and the two flames jumped gently, as if he was thinking about the credibility of this sentence.
Guan Yingying didn't need his trust either. She just needed to rest at this stop for a while, wait for the right opportunity, and find a way to go to Xinxin's home to look for clues.
As for when is the right time...it depends on whether there is someone among the other players who can act as a "leader" and find a way to bring the remaining players together to discuss how to pass the level.
She is not strong enough, and no matter how smart she is, these players will never obey her.
If there is really no one willing to take the lead, she will have to find a stronger player to cooperate with.
This dungeon cannot be cleared alone.
Facing Iris's doubt at this time, Guan Yingying just nodded.
"Yes."
Then there was no explanation, just pointing to the door.
"Can I rest near here for a bit?"
Iris shrugged, "Of course."
"Thank you." Guan Yingying thanked him politely, then sat down on the ground at the door in silence, looking out quietly.
Iris studied her for a moment and realized that she really seemed to just want to find a place to rest, so she stopped looking at her and turned to study the phone in the camera studio.
He tentatively dialed 4444444, and heard a tone from the other end saying "The other party cannot answer your call."
Iris tried to dial a few more numbers, changing the last 4 to other numbers.
Finally, the call actually went through.
"5 is the second to last stop, 6 is the third to last stop... and so on?"
Iris frowned.
If that's the case, there are eleven of them in total, so where is there no such phone number?
While he was still thinking, the phone in his hand rang.
4444449.
This is the sixth station, and the strongest player in this instance... What's his name? Zhu Ping?
Iris picked up the phone. She didn't know what the other end said, and she nodded.
"I see."
He hung up the phone and looked at Guan Yingying.
"Zhu Ping said she has an idea for the game and she hopes we can go to the sixth station to find her. Are you going?"
It is always better to have someone in charge than to be a group of scattered sand.
Guan Yingying stood up.
"go."
The two walked out of the studio and headed towards the sixth stop.
Shortly after they left, Jie Fangcheng stood at the door of the studio and scratched his head.
"Why is there no one here?"
Jie Fangcheng muttered to himself and looked towards the third stop with some lack of interest.
Have these players already gone to Xinxin Home?
The bus route is not a branch line, but an L-shape.
Xinxin Home is located at this L-shaped point.
Anyway, there must be some clues in Xinxin Home, so he might as well go there and wait for the players.
Thinking of this, Jie Fangcheng set off again.
The target this time is Xinxin Home!
