The silent night is brewing the calm before the storm.
Su Yi stood on the top floor of an abandoned high-rise building. The wind on the roof was very strong, and his thin elf wings made a rustling sound. The wind blew through the holes in his disabled wings, causing a slight pain.
He folded his wings and looked down. The life-saving system automatically generated a map of the surroundings for him. This place was far away from the deserted streets, and even if a fight broke out, it would not pose a threat to Su Yi. However, he could have a panoramic view of the situation below. It could be said that he occupied the commanding heights, which was the most suitable position for a commander behind the scenes.
The cold wind of the night blew through the deserted streets, stirring up clouds of dust. Black fog quietly spread underneath, covering up the weapons in every corner.
Su Yi watched and observed, frowning slightly.
The life-saving system read the owner's emotions and comforted her: "Don't worry, honey, we will win."
"I'm not worried about this place." Su Yi said softly.
There are now three White Nights guarding the deserted street, and things are proceeding in an orderly manner according to their plan.
After the kidnapping live broadcast ended, Su Yi took off the shadowman's leather suit and handed it to the machine gun guy who came to meet him, and he continued to play the role of "Judas".
With the murderous nature of the Steel Knife Man, he would definitely come rushing in with great momentum after seeing his live broadcast provocation, Su Yi thought. The kill list in the Steel Knife Man's hand only listed people with long codes, and it was impossible to find out who actually had the Thriller's permission code.
The machine gun guy's code happened to be longer due to emotional problems, so it was most appropriate for him to replace himself and play the role of Judas.
When the steel knife man arrives at the clock tower, he will first confirm whether there is a player with a long code on the list. Then he will detect the shadow man machine gun guy and regard machine gun Bai Ye as the traitor Judas. A fierce conflict will occur between the two sides.
The Undead Knight Bai Ye, as the god of war hidden in the dark, controls all the weapons and props, just waiting for the enemy to arrive and catch them in the trap. The "kidnapped" billionaire Bai Ye can also wait for an opportunity to help.
The combat power of these three Bai Ye's are very good, and with a bunch of high-power output weapons on the street, with such a configuration, there is almost no need to worry about this battle.
But Su Yi's brows were still furrowed, and his emerald green eyes revealed a bit of sadness. His frowning brows and eyes made him look very pitiful. The life-saving system felt distressed. If the machine had a heart, it would say:
"Are you worried about… something else? Something? The programmer?"
The life-saving system thought that this was the first time Su Yi had made a plan this round, so perhaps he needed to be given some confidence. It encouraged him:
"You've arranged everything, there won't be any problems, just trust your plan.
"We have also set up a lot of traps and props in the deserted street. When the man with the steel knife comes in, he will definitely go for the black shadow man and machine gun Bai Ye first. The programmer is likely to be left alone. If this man is in charge of technology, his combat power is probably average. Young Master Bai or Knight Bai Ye hiding in the dark can capture him.
"We have conducted a carpet search of the code in the entire area of No Man's Street. If a fly flies out, we will notice it. Programmers can't escape."
Su Yi shook his head gently: "No... I'm not worried about these. I'm quite relieved to leave it to the three Bai Ye and you. It's just... Is there no new news from the magician?"
Life-saving system: "Not yet."
It thought of how Su Yi had hesitated before when he made the plan whether to ask the machine gun guy or the magician to join them. However, after Su Yi knew that the machine gun guy's code was a bit long, he decided that the machine gun Bai Ye was the most suitable candidate to play Judas, and then arranged a strange task for the magician:
[Can you try to find the basement where the man with the steel knife live streamed killing people?]
The life-saving system didn't quite understand the purpose of this task, but what Su Yi arranged must have a deep meaning.
On the bright platform, on the long wooden chair, a blonde elf is sitting here leisurely waiting for the train.
A tablet was suspended in the air, the light from the screen reflecting his blue eyes and the tall, pointed nose bridge like a European. He would occasionally reach out and swipe it, lazily listening to the unbelievable voice coming from the other party in the headset:
"You said you found a traitor? How is that possible? This arrogant Judas just released a live broadcast to provoke."
"It's just a cover." The blond said lazily, "Only low-IQ monkeys will be fooled."
"001, we are all Thrillers. We should work together to deal with the traitor. If that is a cover, you have the obligation to remind everyone that the Thriller with the Steel Knife is also our companion."
Blond 001: "What if I guess wrong and it's not a cover-up? Can you take full responsibility?"
"…You! So what do you want?"
The blond man smiled and said, "That monkey with a steel knife can go wherever he wants. He can find his own dog, and I can find mine. We won't affect each other. Let's see who finds the real Judas in the end."
"Isn't the Judas you found the shadowy figure?"
The blond didn't answer the question directly, but instead said, "Do you remember when we were rebuilding Monster City, I asked the guy who wrote the code to add an unspoken rule to the card drawing program?"
The person on the other side of the headset was silent for a moment, thinking that this 001 blond Thriller had a weird personality and a high opinion of himself. He only liked to deal with smart people. Those with lower IQs than him were called monkeys in his dictionary and were not worthy of being called humans.
In order to prevent people who are as smart as him from becoming ugly monsters when drawing cards, 001 secretly added an unspoken rule for drawing cards: people with an IQ greater than 180 have a 75% chance of drawing a beautiful elf attribute card, while people with average intelligence have only a 2.5% chance of drawing an elf.
The IQ of a normal person is generally between 85-115, with an average of 100. It is impossible not to reach a height of 180.
Blond 001 watched the IDs on the tablet gradually go out. There were fewer and fewer people left on the list. He smiled slightly:
"Guess, is this Judas who has the guts to rebel against us very smart?"
There is a 75% chance that this Judas drew the same elf card as him.
Blonde tapped on the tablet and set the filter condition: view only elf players. Swish, a large number of IDs on the screen disappeared, leaving only a few scattered IDs.
"There is a 75% chance that Judas is among these people. Oh, and now one more has died. The number is getting smaller and smaller."
The blond elf looked at the screen happily, like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. He was confident of victory and quietly waited for the moment when these IDs would gradually disappear and only the last person would be left.
The night wind grows stronger and the night becomes darker.
Su Yi stood on top of a tall building, staring intently at the chat box, waiting for a response.
The life-saving system couldn't help but say, "Wife, you are weak and can't stand the wind. Let's go back and don't wait on the rooftop.
"This task is quite difficult. I don't think the magician will be able to be found in a short time. We can only try to find the basement based on the architectural structure of the basement and the texture of the bricks and stones during the live broadcast. I don't know how long it will take."
Su Yi hummed, but remained standing without moving.
He knew this, but he could only ask the magician to try. The magician Bai Ye was a person with system NPC qualifications. He was always very mysterious and seemed to know more than other Bai Ye. He also knew the world of horror script-killing very well. This task could only be given to him.
Life-saving system: "Even if you really find it, what do you plan to let the magician do? There is no one in that basement."
"have."
Su Yi suddenly said: "Yes? There is a dead body."
During the live broadcast, the Steel Knife Man randomly picked a player from the list and killed him. That player was a beautiful blonde elf.
…elf.
Su Yi pinched his brows. This was what he was most worried about. From the moment the steel knife man drew the elf player, he keenly felt a sense of discomfort.
He himself is a broken-winged elf, and the one who was picked is also an elf. Is it such a coincidence?
Ordinary people may not care about this and think it is just a coincidence, but Su Yi cares a lot. His keen intuition requires him to confirm it clearly. Any small mistake may cause him to lose everything.
If the magician could really find the basement, he should have found a dead elf corpse. The steel knife man enjoyed killing and would not collect the bodies. The programmer who developed the [doom code] and added it to the heads of more than 500 people did not seem to be the type to collect the bodies. He would just kill and leave them where they were.
...What if, by some chance, there really isn’t a body in that basement?
Su Yi clenched his fingertips.
That means the situation is developing in some terrible direction. His brain was working rapidly, thinking deeply about the next countermeasures. If the body really was not there, what should he and Bai Ye do?
The codes of all the players on the list in the hand of the steel knife man are long, and the Thriller's permission code will make the total code longer, which means that the list not only includes innocent players, including him, the traitor, but also actually includes all the Thrillers who came to the Monster City.
The man with the steel knife randomly draws one from them... Is it possible to draw? Something else? Thriller?
Su Yisi thought clearly that only Thriller could have the ability to "come back from the dead" and not be afraid of the cruel killing of the man with the steel knife.
If this is true, then why is it the elf species?
Su Yi closed his eyes, and two scenarios emerged in front of him. Suppose one, the magician found the basement and there was a corpse inside. That meant he was thinking too much, and the blonde elf was just an ordinary player randomly drawn.
Hypothesis 2: If there is no body in the basement, then it is very likely that the "tragic death" of the blond elf is Thriller, who was "resurrected" immediately after the live broadcast ended.
The key to the problem is that there are 13 Thrillers, and there are more than 200 types of cards in Monster City. 13 people randomly draw from more than 200 types of cards, and it turns out that he and the blond both draw the same elf card. How small is this probability?
This is a very simple high school math probability problem. Suppose there are only 200 kinds of cards. The probability of Su Yi randomly drawing an elf is 1/200, and the probability of blonde is also 1/200. The probability of both of them being elves is (1/200) squared, which is only 0.000025.
Such a low-probability result actually happened, which can only prove one thing: the cards in Monster City are not randomly drawn!
Su Yi guessed that he and the blond must have some common characteristics, which made them more likely to draw the elf card among more than 200 kinds of cards.
What is so special about the elf species that he doesn't know?
The night wind blew past his ears, Su Yi listened to the whistling sound of the wind and calmed his heart.
The focus now is not to find out what is special about the elf species, but that he and the blond have something in common. He doesn't know what it is, but as a Thriller, the blond probably knows what the commonality is, and can probably work back and determine that the traitor Judas is also an elf.
If it really progressed to this step, Su Yi bit his lower lip and screened out the currently surviving elf players from the list provided by the steel knife man, then he could almost be locked in immediately!
Even if the three Bai Ye won the first battle, they were finished and had to make a plan for the next step to ensure that they could continue to win, otherwise they would be defeated miserably.
Regardless of whether the magician can find the basement, Su Yi intends to make full preparations. He thought about it and said to the life-saving system:
"The previous notice to all Thrillers said that we had to get to the Central Conference Hall of [The City of Evil] within seven days. Do you know how to get there through the Monster City?"
Life-saving system: "This... is not very clear. It is said that there is a special train to pick you up, but no one knows where the station is. The terrain code of Monster City is changing all the time."
"The break point."
Su Yidao.
All the codes of the horror script-killing game are constructed based on mathematical models. No matter how much they change, there will be things that cannot be changed. Su Yi thought of the Fourier function discontinuity point he calculated in the first round. The coordinates of this discontinuity point are in the Monster City area.
He didn't know what the significance of this discontinuity was at the time, but he thought that since he was in the Monster City, he might as well take a look here.
So in the first week, he gave up continuing the dungeon, drew an elf card in the Monster City, and was then exiled to the Magic Forest. He unexpectedly discovered that life there was self-sufficient and safe. Su Yi was quite satisfied at that time. He did not look for the discontinuity point again, and he did not know what the point of finding it would be.
It was not until he reunited with Bai Ye in the first week that Su Yi understood the whole truth of the matter. His memory after the reunion in the cave had not yet recovered, but Su Yi guessed that in the first week, he would definitely go with Bai Ye to explore this discontinuity point.
I don’t know what happened afterwards, but it must have failed, and then they will enter the next round.
Su Yi quickly wrote down the coordinates of the discontinuity point and said to the life-saving system: "Check the direction of this place, and then send the coordinates to Baimao, and ask him to wait for me near these coordinates no matter what."
"No problem~" The life-saving system searched on the map, and after a while, it said curiously:
"Wife, there is no such coordinate on the map."
Su Yi came over to take a look, and sure enough, after searching for the coordinates, nothing was displayed on the map, it was empty.
He smiled, and the worry in his emerald green eyes disappeared, revealing a rare bit of cunning: "If there is no such coordinate, it means we have found the right one."
Su Yi opened the chat box and quickly contacted the white-haired boss Bai Ye, who was now an ordinary player. He described the coordinates to him and told him that it could not be found on the map, but he should try to approach this place as stealthily as possible and inform him in time if there was any situation.
Not long after, Baimao Baiye sent a reply:
"good."
——Very well behaved? Reply.
Su Yi looked at this word and his heart moved. He thought that Baimao Baiye had been a murderous boss in the dungeon for a long time, and suddenly became an ordinary player, so he might not be easy to get along with. Now it seems that he thought too much. Bai Ye is always easy to get along with.
In the distance, a rusty copper-colored clock tower stood, and the emerald bell was emitting a faint green light.
The terrain of the Monster City is ever-changing. If you want to find people or places, you can only use the most basic method, climb to a high place to observe the surroundings, look for landmark buildings, and then keep getting closer. The life-saving system has already opened a strict search code. As long as the steel knife man and his men step into the unmanned area, it can immediately sense them.
Silence spread throughout the neighborhood, waiting for the first shot to be fired.
Suddenly, buzz——!
A message reminder broke the silence. Su Yi came back to his senses and found a message from the magician popped up in the chat box:
"Found it."
A video was attached to the message, and Su Yi immediately clicked on it:
The bricks and stones in the basement, the Leonardo da Vinci painting on the background wall, the iron chair placed there, and the blood flowing on the ground.
——There is no body.
Magician Bai Ye sent the last message:
“Run!”
