Chapter 42
Lin Han quickly guessed the reason.
When a person closes his mouth, he cannot make a "hush" sound. It was the two "hush" sounds just now that caused the man in front of me to tear his lips, and blood flowed out and dripped onto his chin.
But he seemed to feel no pain at all. Although his face was pale, he didn't even frown. His expression couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, nor could he tell whether he was disgusted. He just stared at Lin Han who was standing in front of him with his head down, which made Lin Han shiver.
While Lin Han was waiting for the light to come on, he seemed to be looking at Lin Han all the time.
Maybe the central air-conditioning was a bit too strong, or maybe it was because Lin Han was too nervous just now and sweated a little, he really felt a little cold.
He rubbed his arms to get some warmth out, then took another step back under the other person's cold gaze.
The person in front of him should be a player.
Lin Han wasn't actually sure whether the person in front of him was a player or a ghost, but the other party had just saved him. Even though the scene was as strange as if he had just escaped from a wolf's den and was in a tiger's den, and had just sent away a dangerous black shadow and was now facing someone who didn't look any safer, he could only guess the best. After all, if the other party was really the NPC who killed people in the "haunted house", then he should have died long ago.
So Lin Han allowed himself to think so.
But players are actually in a competitive relationship with each other. After all, the condition for passing the level is "to be the last person alive." Even if this person saved him before, if there are only two of them left, they will probably kill him without hesitation, and he will have no ability to resist.
Lin Han couldn't think of any solution at all. Even if the other party inexplicably gave him the chance to survive, he couldn't kill the other party. Even though he knew very well that this was a game and he should do whatever it takes to win, but... at least now, he still couldn't do it.
Lin Han was a little annoyed. He should have asked Song Ziyi earlier and asked him how to deal with this kind of thing. Song Ziyi was in the realm of fantasy cultivation and should have experienced more things like this. It was a pity that he was now in the copy and could not quit halfway.
Thinking of Song Ziyi, Lin Han realized that he was playing games and felt a little overwhelmed.
The two copies he experienced were too much for good citizen Lin Han.
It was obvious that when he watched the live broadcast before, other people’s copies were not so scary and thrilling, so why did it seem wrong when it came to his copy?
The choice before Lin Han is still to take it one step at a time.
It is human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. Lin Han took another step back, almost to the center of the room, as if this was keeping a safe distance.
But the next second, the man took a step forward. He seemed to want to get closer to Lin Han, but seeing Lin Han's vigilant movements, he did not take the second step. After thinking for a while, he just looked down, tore off a piece of broken cardboard on the ground, folded it twice, squatted on the ground and began to write.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust. Although it was now a mess due to their footprints, the words scraped out were still quite clear.
【smell】
The mouth is a punishment
【You follow me】
Even when writing, the other party was very brief. Lin Han, who walked around to look at the words, read all nine words and guessed that "Wen" was his name, and that his lips being sewn up was a punishment he was experiencing. After Lin Han asked, he got a positive answer.
As for why there was such a punishment, Lin Han was not interested at all. First of all, the other party could not respond normally. Who knew how much writing would be needed on the ground to explain the whole story and the reasons behind such a horrible punishment? Lin Han said don't get involved.
But the four words "you follow me" really excited Lin Han. Thinking about the behavior of the man named "Wen" who saved him before, a guess surged in his heart: Jiang Xuchen said that the copy was simple, could it be that he assigned Wen to escort him?
Wait until there are only two of them left in the copy, and then hand over the victory to him?
In this case, this copy is indeed very simple.
Perhaps it was because the surprise and joy on Lin Han's face came too quickly and were not concealed at all, Wen frowned, lowered his head and added a few more words on the ground.
【Ghosts only kill people who are alone】
【Don't kill if you're obedient】
Lin Han: “…”
Maybe it was because he had spent two good days in the academy that his mind became a little unclear.
He had forgotten that he was not a lucky man, so where would he get the protection?
There are indeed ghosts in the "haunted house" copy, but Lin Han thought he was about to be protected. However, the reality was quite cruel. He has realized that not only is he not protected, but he has become a tool or prop to protect others.
For Wen, Lin Han’s greatest role may be to help him meet the number of people required to stay away from “ghosts”.
If there was no rule that Lin Han didn't know, he would have killed Lin Han as soon as he saw her for the first time. After all, the phrase "I won't kill you if you obey me" should be completed as "I won't kill you if you obey me".
The other party had just become amiable in his eyes, but in just two sentences, his attitude completely reversed. On the premise of clarifying the requirements for passing the level, he actually had no intention of letting Lin Han go, but just wanted to let Lin Han live a little longer.
Even the phrase "the mouth is a punishment" was probably just to reassure Lin Han, so that she wouldn't try to escape out of fear of his appearance, and to calm him down temporarily.
If you are obedient, you will die later; if you are disobedient, you will die now.
From Lin Han’s previous reaction, it can be seen that he is still a smart person, so Wen is not worried that Lin Han will do something he shouldn’t do.
Lin Han: I understand, I understand everything.
Being looked down upon is not a pleasant thing, but he does not yet have the ability to be looked up to.
Lin Han didn't know if he was a truly smart person, but he also knew what he should do at the moment - be obedient, follow behind Wen, and honestly be the second person in Wen's team.
This was the best option for Lin Han. He could just follow and smell it until only the two of them were left in this copy.
Following Wen, he felt like he had met Silver Moon in the "Factory" copy, possessing an amulet that could ensure his safety for a specific period of time. The only danger came from him, if Wen was strong enough in this copy.
If he was let out by himself, Lin Han might lose his life at the next corner of the corridor. His strength was like dust in the air in this building with flickering lights, and his life and death were not in his own hands.
He could even be sure that no matter whether Wen would meet anyone else besides him in the next game process, no one would be able to replace him and become Wen's new "teammate" because he was weak enough, so weak that he could not find the hiding person, and naturally there would be no chance of counterattack.
With Wen taking him with him, he didn't even have to be distracted and be on guard against Lin Han's secret mischief.
Lin Han almost laughed out of anger because he had such a clear understanding of himself. He saved his life because he was too weak. Probably not many people could play like him.
Wen didn't give Lin Han too much time to think. After making sure that Lin Han had seen all the words on the ground clearly, he raised his foot to wipe off all the words on the ground, pointed outside, and pushed Lin Han out.
Lin Han was standing at the door when he was pushed unexpectedly. He staggered two steps and stood in the corridor. There were no shadows at the corners on both sides, but the light above his head flickered twice. Although it didn't go out, Lin Han still took two steps back quickly and stood in the house again, as if this was the safe area.
"Let me go in front?" Lin Han looked at the man next to him and asked seriously.
Wen looked at him in silence, as if finally realizing that he was asking sincerely, and finally gaining a deeper understanding of the abilities of the man in front of him, but still sticking to the original arrangement, he nodded.
Lin Han: “…”
When something goes wrong, he is the one who acts as a shield, right?
Lin Han, who had no power to resist, really couldn't resist. If he was told to go in front, he had no choice but to go in front.
However, when he took the first step, Lin Han was still reluctant and full of fear. He was much more proactive in the second step, because as soon as the two of them entered the corridor, Lin Han looked back.
Wen followed behind him. The light was still on, and most of the light fell on him. Behind him was pitch black. At the corner, perhaps because it was too dark or he was dazzled, the black seemed to be moving around, not at all restless.
The invisible rear seems to be more dangerous. Not to mention that ghosts only kill people who are alone, even this kind of mental fear is very dangerous.
Lin Han's face turned pale. Such an idea was really horrifying. He decided to be obedient and make way for others.
A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Lin Han looked behind him and asked, "Where should we go next?"
He was startled again when he turned his head. The smell of the stitches on his mouth was really frightening, especially mixed with bloodstains. Now it was clearer under the light. It seemed as if the pain was on Lin Han's mouth, giving him goose bumps that wouldn't go away.
Lin Han's subconscious reaction could not be hidden at all, but Wen didn't care. He pointed to the left, where the ghost had just come from.
Go left.
If there is only one ghost in the "Haunted House" copy, then the direction the ghost just came from should be the relatively safe location at the moment. Although Lin Han did not think that the "Haunted House" copy would be so simple, he actually chose the left side, which was the same as Wen's choice.
While the lights were still on, Lin Han turned his head away, not daring to look any further. Without further delay, he walked forward and asked, "Are you going to meet up with someone?"
Yes, since ghosts only kill people who are alone, the more people there are, the better.
Lin Han actually has his own plans.
He couldn't clear the dungeon by eliminating the other players, so the only ones who could reduce the number of people in the dungeon were other players and ghosts besides him, including Wen.
The scattered players outside will be dealt with by Gui, and those gathered together will be dealt with by Wen. As for him, according to Jiang Xuchen, Alfred will help him. When there are only two people left, he should wait for Alfred to help, as long as Wen can protect him to the end.
This was his idea for completing the game, but Lin Han didn't show it at this moment. He was still conscientiously playing the role of a simple, harmless and timid player, although in fact he was really scared - who wouldn't be afraid when they turned around and saw a bloody mouth like that?
While Lin Han was thinking, Wen didn't answer.
Lin Han didn't hear any movement and turned around to look at him, only to see Wen standing there staring at him. There were two or three meters between them, and it was obvious that the other party didn't move after Lin Han finished speaking.
There was no emotion in his dark eyes, he just looked at Lin Han. After a long time, he suddenly smiled, but he couldn't open his lips, so the smile seemed a little forced.
The light danced above Wen's head. He raised his hand and put his fingers in front of his mouth. The black stitches tightened and cut into his flesh, causing new bright red blood to drip directly onto the ground.
"Shhh."
Lin Han turned around and didn't dare to look back.
My head hurts. There is also a pervert in this copy who can't speak human language.
