Chapter 85 Hide and Seek (3)
=======
Yi Han stood up thoughtfully.
At this time, the puppets under his feet had turned back into dead objects. There were no extra clues left on their hard bodies. If there were not a few scars on the ground caused by special abilities, they would look no different from other normal dolls.
"Boss? Are you outside?" At this time, the player in Area 6 who was hiding in the dark and unable to move also understood. The sound outside just now was obviously two people fighting. After a little thought, he knew that it couldn't be a ghost coming to catch him. So he quickly asked through telepathy.
"It's me, it's okay, the ghost is not here." Yi Han replied.
"Oh, I was scared to death... I thought I was dead just now!" The player breathed a sigh of relief.
Because Area 8 is next to Area 6, this location itself is a dangerous area. The ghost just came out of Area 8 after catching someone, and it is uncertain where to move next.
Yi Han didn't argue with him any more. Taking advantage of the fact that the player had just been eliminated, he quickly rushed to Area 8 with his weapon in hand, trying to block the ghost before it left.
As a result, just after passing through the long workshop in Area 6 and stepping into Area 8, I heard the next prompt.
[System prompt: Two human players have been captured by ghosts in this round. ]
Player A: “!!!”
Player B: "Ah, so fast!"
Player C: "Is that you? The guy from District 6 who just spoke?"
Player D: "It's not me, I'm still alive!"
The players were in a panic and reported their positions again.
Then it was discovered that the person who was arrested this time was the player in charge of Zone 10.
This puppet factory is rectangular in shape as a whole, with each area connected by winding corridors, but there are also many connections between each other. For example, there are three areas adjacent to Area 8, namely Area 6, Area 7, and Area 9.
To get from Area 8 to Area 10, you can go around Area 6, but the faster way is to find the escape door from Area 9 and cross it. Yi Han just came from Area 6 and didn't see the ghost at all. The players in Area 9 were also safe and sound. The ghost actually crossed these two areas and caught the players in Area 10!
Is it because they failed to find the players in Area 9, or do they have some special teleportation ability?
Yi Han checked the floor plan, carried the pot, and headed for the junction of the two areas without stopping. He passed through the fire door of Area 9 and arrived at Area 10 in less than 5 minutes. As a result—
[System prompt: Three human players have been captured by ghosts in this round.]
Players: “????”
Yi Han, the big boss who killed the first ghost, was looking for the second ghost all over the world. This was already known to all the players. Everyone was secretly cheering for him and reporting to him as soon as they heard any movement. But no one expected that the second ghost would be so fast in catching people, including Yi Han. He couldn't help but wonder why the previous ghost looked so weak in combat - it seemed that it was really thanks to the blessing of the European Emperor, who appeared directly in front of him and caught him off guard. If not, according to the normal process of hiding and catching people, it would be difficult for humans to resist, and these two ghosts probably put all their skill points into action speed and catching speed.
The person who was caught this time was in District 2, which is still one district away from District 10.
Yi Han did not stop in the 10th area of the "T" shape, but directly entered the adjacent 1st area, and then chased to 2nd area.
After more than ten minutes of pursuit, Yi Han circled half a circle on the map and unknowingly returned to the location near the beginning. While running, he checked the map and tried to guess the ghost's next location. But next to Area 2 was Area 3, which had been emptied by him, but the ghost liked to catch people in different areas, so it might go across Area 3 to Area 4, or turn around to Area 6, or go back to Area 1. In a word, it could go anywhere.
This round will end in one or two minutes, and three human players have already been caught. If there is one more, the goblin will win the first round.
Yi Han hurried to Area 2. There was no prompt for the fourth player to be eliminated yet. If he could guess the location of the ghost in advance, he should still be able to stop it.
"Help me choose a direction." Facing the three roads in front of him, Yi Han took Jian Lin out of the box again.
Jian Lin thought about it and randomly pointed to the location of District 6 where he had been before.
"Okay." Yi Han nodded, stuffed him back in, and rushed back to the production workshop with the pot.
"How are you?" he asked the player from Zone 6 telepathically while running.
"I'm fine. There seems to be no movement outside! And this round is about to end. I should be able to escape!" said the man.
"Don't make any noise, hide and wait for me." Yi Han said.
As he finished his words, he had returned to the aisle where he had just fought with the two puppets.
The two puppets were still lying on the ground, but they seemed to have changed their positions a little. Obviously, after Yi Han left, if the puppets had not moved again, someone must have been there.
"Where are you?" Yi Han asked the player in his heart.
As if they knew the goblin might be in Area 6, the other players who had not been caught held their breath and remained silent, leaving the communication channel to the two of them.
"Eh? I'm at the south side, next to the wall..." The player spoke hesitantly, but it didn't seem like he didn't trust his teammates, but because he was unfamiliar with the surroundings when he was hiding. He spoke while recalling. But he suddenly stopped in the middle of his speech.
Yi Han's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried over to where he said. From a distance, he saw another ghost in a bloodstained white coat, holding an electric saw in his hand. In front of it, it happened to be facing the cabinet that the player mentioned.
There were about a dozen cabinets in that row, which seemed to be used for employees to hang their clothes. From the outside, it was impossible to tell which one of them had someone in it. But the ghost seemed to have X-ray vision. It raised the chainsaw, but without starting it, it stabbed the blade directly into one of the cabinets.
"!" Yi Han couldn't help but curse in his heart, but the distance between them was still too far.
Yi Han raised his hand and, using the inertia of the forward movement, threw the iron pot out.
If you lose the first round, you lose. It doesn’t matter. As long as you kill the two ghosts, you will definitely win the next two rounds.
But just as the iron pot approached with a sound of breaking through the air, the ghost turned around, without trying to hide, but just gave him a sinister smile.
The next moment, the saw blade of the electric saw was pulled out of the cabinet door, and blood spurted out from the gap in the door.
[System prompt: Four human players have been captured by ghosts in this round.]
[Ding, 20 minutes are up, the first game is over. ]
[Result of this round: Goblin wins! ]
The ghost's figure disappeared in an instant, and Yi Han's iron pot smashed against the cabinet door with a bang, splashing more blood through the crack of the door.
Yi Han panted slightly and came to where the ghost had just stood. He looked around and confirmed that it had disappeared. He could only wait for the next 20 minutes for it to appear. Yi Han put away the iron pot and opened the cabinet door without much hope. As expected, it was empty inside. There was no injured body of the player. And the other party in the mind link no longer responded.
"The fourth player to be caught is from Area 6." He could only sigh and inform the other players.
“……”The players were all silent.
This was only the first round, and four players were caught. Now there are only six of the ten players left. If three more people are caught in the next round, they will lose the game of hide-and-seek.
Player A: "What should I do this round? I haven't finished searching this area yet."
Player B: "I'm not done yet..."
Player C: "Me too, but there are only 6 of us now. And the area of the 4 teammates just now may not be searched completely. What should I do?"
Obviously, because the ghosts' ability to catch people seemed overwhelmingly strong, everyone's attitude was a little nervous and negative, and even the voices of discussion became weak.
"I'm faster. You guys should search your own areas. I'll be responsible for areas 2, 6, 8, and 10." Yi Han took the initiative to say.
Player A: “!”
Player B: "Oh, boss, all four places are yours, is that really possible?"
Player C: "And these ones aren't even close to each other."
Yi Han: "It's okay. Just find the key to your area and hide before the ghost comes. Try not to get caught again."
Player D: “QAQ”
Player E: "We'll try not to get caught!"
All players: "Come on, boss!"
At this time, the game has entered the second round, and the ghosts and humans have once again become invisible to each other. But if the ghosts think more according to their inertial thinking, they will probably figure out that the players will arrange it as Yi Han said. After all, if you change the location and search again halfway through the search, it will be very inefficient for finding the key - but if the ghost thinks too much, it may do the opposite and go to the area where it caught people in the last round to catch people again after 20 minutes.
Yi Han didn't know if this ghost was the type to calculate other people's thoughts and then make the next move based on his own speculation. Anyway, he was too lazy to do that. Because human psychology is inherently difficult to grasp, the more you calculate, the easier it is to fall into a vicious circle of being too clever. Therefore, he directly arranged for his teammates to continue the search in the most convenient way.
As a person with strong hands-on ability, he decided to continue to ambush in the position where it is easiest to attack under the guidance of the European Emperor, and kill the enemy with one blow when the time comes.
Putting away his weapons temporarily, Yi Han began to check for gaps in these areas.
His search method was still to take things in a carpet-style manner, but unfortunately these areas were not all warehouses. Many production workshops were filled with large machines, and there were not many things that could be taken, which caused some trouble for Yi Han. However, Yi Han was a person who was not afraid of trouble, so at this time, he unceremoniously smashed all the items that hindered the search with an iron pot.
So each area quickly became clean, but unfortunately the key has not been found yet. After smashing the 6th, 8th, and 10th areas in order and finally returning to the 2nd area, Yi Han found a new recipe in the ruins after a long time.
[Recipe: Spicy Crayfish (already learned)]
[Instructions: After consumption, physical strength and endurance will increase according to the deliciousness. Duration: 2 hours.]
This was his 14th recipe, and after he put it into the recipe book and put it away, the first 20 minutes of the second round of the game were about to arrive.
