Chapter 130: Instance Collapse [Warning! Due to an unknown vulnerability,...
Didn't you hear?
Cecilia keenly noticed the important information given by the old man.
The fact that no one had escaped the prophecy on previous occasions could perhaps be called a coincidence.
But this time, despite her strict defense, the middle-aged man still died, and died in a bizarre way. This is a low-probability event, and it is hard to say it is a coincidence.
Not only that, the old man and the middle-aged man were both on the death list. The middle-aged man died, but the old man was intact.
The biggest difference between the two of them was that the old man had never heard the content of the prophecy.
Perhaps prophecy must be “heard” to be effective?
Using the known information, she subconsciously made a guess.
“Ding-dong-dong!”
The pleasant ringtone rang on time, the TV lit up again, and the voice of the mushroom man appeared.
"Dear human friends, how was your rest last night? This episode of the divination column has begun again..."
Cecilia's mind worked quickly, and she took a bold action.
"From now on, everyone, plug your ears, close your eyes, and don't listen to the content of the prophecy!"
She shouted, and found the button of the earplug according to her memory, and pressed it several times. Before the prophecy was mentioned in the program, the earplugs were distributed to everyone.
"But--"
Others hesitated, not understanding what she wanted to do, but were frightened by a sharp metal collision sound and trembled three times.
Cecia took out an axe and chopped it hard on the wall. She said coldly, "Do as I say, or die now."
Hearing the horrifying threat, no one dared to refute her. Everyone obediently put on their earplugs and turned their backs to the TV.
Seeing this, Cecia did the same, counting the time silently in her mind.
Although this behavior currently involves gambling, there is no better way.
In her world, there is no such thing as astrology, so she and Wilbert can avoid all predictions about astrology.
However, the death predictions of the special guests have nothing to do with their zodiac signs.
The first time, people in white clothes will die. The second time, people who have been to prison will die. The third time, people over 40 will die.
Fortunately, they were not included in the three times.
But what if?
Next, they will go through four more divination predictions. If their characteristics are mentioned in the prophecy on a certain day, based on the current situation, they will be doomed to die.
But if it can be proven that the prophecy will only be effective for the person who "hears" it, then there will be no need to worry about the death prophecy for the next four days.
Therefore, the best option for everyone is to ignore the predictions and take a gamble.
Cecia also turned her back to the TV and held the teddy bear in her arms. Because there were no earplugs that matched its size, she simply blocked the little guy's ears with her hands.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour...
Feeling that it was about time, she turned around and saw that the TV had been turned off. Then she called everyone one by one and asked them to take out their earplugs.
This time, no one saw the fortune-telling show and no one knew the content of the prophecy.
"Is it really okay for us to do this?"
Looking at the dark TV, the short-haired girl felt a little uneasy. "Now I don't even know the content of the divination, how can I avoid it..."
"It's better to take a gamble than for everyone to die here."
Cecia explained her guess to them, "…if it really operated according to these rules, no one would have died today."
At night, except for the dazed old man, almost no one else fell asleep.
Because no one knew the content of the divination, no one could guarantee that they would not be the unlucky one, so everyone was worried and kept their eyes open until dawn.
[Ding Dong! The evening rest time is over, now is a new day...]
When the cheerful bell rang again, the dazzling light illuminated the entire room.
Cecilia glanced across the room. Everyone's eyes were bloodshot and their faces looked tired.
"one two three……"
The short-haired girl was nervous and counted the number of people in the room one by one.
"Six! Six people survived!"
After confirming that no one was killed, the short-haired girl jumped up and down excitedly.
"Great! It seems that plugging your ears is useful!"
Just like that, no one watched the fortune-telling show anymore. Every time the time came, they would plug their ears and turn their backs.
Everyone was safe and sound, no one died, and the fortune-telling house seemed to have become a real "bonus" room.
The time came to the seventh night.
Everyone was very relaxed that night, and Cecilia had a rare good sleep.
After cracking the prophecy, they also found other foods that they could eat in exchange for hamburgers. They had food and drink and didn't have to worry about anything, so they were completely enjoying life.
Pop.
The top light turned on on time, but this time the cheerful music did not sound. Instead, a noisy buzzing sound came from the speaker, followed by a rigid mechanical sound.
[Ding, congratulations to the player for completing the task. The ninth room - "Fortune-telling Room" has been cleared and is opening a new #$无努卡￥好@ for you...]
The horn made a shrill hissing sound, mixed with some meaningless and incomprehensible content, exactly the same as what Cecilia encountered when she first entered the dungeon.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
The short-haired girl looked at the loudspeaker in confusion, and the others were also worried that something might happen.
[Warning! Warning! Due to an unknown vulnerability, the copy is about to collapse. Players, please be prepared! Warning...]
Accompanied by the beeping alarm, the system issued an early warning for the emergency.
Suddenly, the passage that was supposed to appear in the center suddenly opened on the wall. The colorful magic door not only failed to make people feel at ease, but increased their fear.
Unlike before, the gorgeous vortex in the middle spun rapidly, sucking all the buttons on the wall into it. It was still not satisfied, and the speed became faster and faster, and the thick wall began to collapse, revealing the dark space outside.
The door that originally represented a new life now looks like the entrance to hell.
"There seems to be something wrong with this copy."
The woman in black remained calm and stayed as far away from the vortex as possible to avoid being affected by the suction.
"What now, do we go in?"
The short-haired girl was supporting the old man, and she also had to take care of the man with dreadlocks who was completely unable to walk, so she seemed a little flustered.
"Do you have a brain?"
The woman in black glanced at her with disdain, "If you want to die, go by yourself, don't take us with you."
Hearing this, the short-haired girl shrank her neck and stopped talking.
Unknown loophole? Could it be Boris...
After hearing the alarm, a certain person immediately came to Cecia's mind.
If this is the case, these humans are in great danger. The door to the next room is abnormal again...
Oh, and the safe house! The guide also gave her permission to open the safe house once.
[Please confirm whether to open the safe house. After the safe house is opened, the entrance can only be maintained for two hours, and the person who opened it can close the entrance in advance. ]
[Note: The player "Chesia" only has the permission to open the safe house once. ]
The pure white door slowly rose in the center of the room. It looked peaceful and stable, and much more reliable than the magic door.
Facing the puzzled crowd, Cecia explained: "This is a safe house. Once you enter, no one can hurt you."
"Safe house? What are you planning?"
The woman in black stepped forward and looked at Cecia suspiciously, "If it's really that good, why don't you go in first?"
...So much nonsense.
Cecia frowned and was about to use force, but Wilbert suddenly stood up and stood in front of her.
"Go in."
He gave the order in a cold voice as his grey-blue eyes stared at the woman in black.
Miraculously, the black-clad female troublemaker's attitude instantly calmed down, and even her expression became obedient.
"Okay doctor, I'm really sorry for questioning you just now! I'm sorry doctor, I won't do it again!"
The woman in black had a look of shame on her face. She apologized and bowed to Wilbert, then obediently walked into the white door.
Seeing this scene, everyone else was stunned, but Cecilia understood.
This is the skill of Wilbert's identity card [Psychologist], and she has been hit by this trick before.
[Psychological counseling (active): You can select a creature as your patient and provide psychological counseling to it. In this way, within a certain period of time (the specific duration is determined by the strength of the other party's consciousness), all negative thoughts of the other party will be eliminated, and the other party will maintain a positive and optimistic mindset.
Note: Doctors are responsible for every patient. You can only select one patient within 24 hours, and you cannot select the same creature twice in a row.
"Why? You want to be like her too?"
Wilbert asked quietly, his eyes scanning the remaining people.
With the precedent of the woman in black, no one wanted to be controlled and slaughtered. They shook their heads desperately and walked in obediently one by one.
"...Everyone who's in the way has left. What's your next plan?"
After all the humans left, Wilbert turned around and looked at Cecia.
"You go in too."
Through the crumbling wall, Cecia looked out, "We can leave the safe house at any time. Please keep an eye on those humans for me. After the instance is over, I will split the profits between you 30% and 70%."
"good."
The outer wall of the room was collapsing faster and faster. Wilbert knew the situation was urgent, so he didn't argue any further and turned around and went into the safe house.
Cecilia then closed the entrance to the safe house and walked towards the gap in the wall with the teddy bear.
"Thea, do you really want to go alone?"
Looking at the empty darkness, the teddy bear held her tightly and asked softly.
"Don't you still have it?"
But she was calm and composed, and even had the mood to joke: "Why, are you scared? But now the safe house is closed, you can't leave even if you want to."
"I won't run away from the battlefield!"
The teddy bear raised his voice, trying to prove himself angrily, and the man and the bear left the fortune-telling house and entered the outside world.
Unlike the darkness she saw in the divination house, as soon as she stepped into the outside world, she felt the world suddenly become brighter and a corridor appeared in front of her.
The corridor was very long and seemed to have no end, and on both sides were densely packed rooms. Each door had a different style and was labeled with a corresponding name.
What was the same was that the doors of all the rooms were wide open, as if welcoming her arrival.
"...Xia, what's going on?"
Looking at the open doors, the teddy bear was a little scared, "Is this the room we experienced?"
"It seems so."
Cecia approached a room and saw the words "Extremely Cold Hell" written on it. The room was constantly emitting cold air. Looking inside, she could see snowflakes falling and towering icebergs.
"It's so cold. Luckily we didn't get this room."
The teddy bear shivered and burrowed deeper into his pocket.
She did not rush into the room, but approached another door - "Reverse World".
