Chapter 104 The Wandering Travel Group (Thirty-Five)
The footsteps are very clear, especially when 'it' passes by all the players.
Although the white mist obscured the other party's face and figure, it was undeniable that there was movement.
"What's going on? According to the time, they should have finished their turn and come to take pictures of us?"
Because they were afraid of triggering some punishment again, they didn't dare to move easily. Ah She had to turn her head and look in the direction of the white fog, trying to get some information.
But she kept waiting until her eyes were a little dizzy, but she still didn't find anything useful.
Everyone was originally terrified, afraid of encountering something weird, but it always felt like after the game started, the progress bar seemed to be slowed down to the slowest, and all kinds of damage were reduced to the minimum.
"Maybe this is the rule that other participants in the game need to abide by, which is different from ours. So for some reason, the game participants following us were forced to skip us."
Nan Huan originally thought that most of the information revealed in the game would be accompanied by punishment, but he didn't expect it to be in this form.
Although she had some doubts in her heart, she was good at getting to the essence of things through strange phenomena.
"The last person to report a title was the one who imitated the president's 'servant under the skirt'. If nothing unexpected happened, the one who just passed by us should be her."
Alice joined the discussion. After all, she was very curious about why there was a title of "President" in this game.
But looking at the reactions of the president and the eldest lady before, it was obvious that they were also unaware.
Although Alice didn't think that the president and the eldest lady would synchronize all the information with her 100%, but judging from their reactions in this copy and their current cooperative relationship, she still chose to trust them temporarily on this matter.
"That is to say, the fake leader bumped into the empty corner where we left at the beginning, and did not stop, but she passed us again without patting our shoulders. Is there any pattern in this?"
Miao Jiang added, analyzing according to the current situation.
If it's a fake moment, and they need to be like them and not stop when passing by an empty corner, then why don't the other party take pictures of them?
And no matter whether there was someone in the corner or not, she chose to ignore it. There seemed to be no fixed rule.
"The sample size is too small and the possibilities are too many. We have only walked a corner and the information we have obtained cannot be that comprehensive. We have to keep playing."
Zhen Beixi, who was standing aside, made a declarative summary.
She always felt that this fog was not simple. If it were in any other environment, even if she couldn't see the situation nearby clearly, she would always be able to get some information just by relying on her sense at such a close distance.
But the fact is, she could still hear the other party's footsteps through the white fog, but other than that, she could not sense anything else.
"What I'm more concerned about is whether the time in this game flows at the same speed as in a normal instance. This game takes about 20 minutes to complete one circle, and three circles take an hour. We don't have much time left, but it seems that we can't control the time in this game."
Before Bei Xi spoke, many players had noticed this. After all, at the beginning of this special mission, the system had warned them that the sky lanterns must be lit as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late before dawn.
But no matter how many speculations everyone has in their minds about the special mission and even this game, it is undeniable that they have no other choice but to wait.
Especially on weekdays, the time flow in the copy is like quicksand, but in this space, it seems to have slowed down.
They could not hear any movement in other corners, they just stared at the time silently, moving forward every minute and every second.
I want to continue participating in the game as soon as possible after the bye, but I am also a little nervous about the unknown experience that has not yet come.
It was not until the time was approaching twenty minutes again that some movement was heard behind him again.
What was different from last time was that this time, as the footsteps got closer, the corner where everyone was standing was filled with white mist again, blocking everyone else's view.
The players could only feel each other's hands holding each other, and couldn't even see the faces that were so close to them.
This was exactly the same situation as when Nan Huan approached this corner in the first round of the game. She gathered her thoughts and felt the footsteps getting closer and closer.
The temperature around me also dropped a little until the footsteps behind me stopped.
A light hand fell on Nan Huan's shoulder.
"A servant under the skirt."
With the same tone as Bei Xi, he uttered a few words lightly.
I don’t know if it’s because all the players are actually already considered part of Nanhuan, or if there is some other reason.
Although they could not see the face of the fake president clearly, they heard these words.
Although players had guessed from the rules of the game that this game would not be so simple, they did not expect that the tone had been set from the very beginning when it was determined that the game would take place in a coffin.
After all, according to the players' predictions, the person who passed by them in the first round and did not pat their shoulders should be the fake president.
But now, the eldest lady was actually patted on the shoulder by the other party again.
Who was that person before? After all, judging by the time, the game did go on for two rounds.
Although Nan Huan was also surprised, she did not forget that if she heard the right title, she had to keep moving.
Moreover, the rules of the game only say that you cannot look back if you hear the wrong title, but it does not say that you cannot look back if you hear the right title.
So after hearing the other party's name, she led her troops to move away, and then looked back to see who this person who pretended to be Bei Xi was.
Unfortunately, the system seemed strange and didn't want to satisfy Nan Huan's idea. When she turned around, the white mist had covered everything.
Not to mention her appearance, I didn’t even get her shadow.
Some players were stunned uncontrollably because of the appearance of the fake president.
If everyone wasn't holding hands together, some of them would probably still be standing there in a daze, unable to react and move.
"Did I hear you right?"
After walking a long way, Ah She suddenly realized, "How could it be a fake president? Wasn't she the last one to announce her name? And what were those footsteps that passed by us before? Was it a deliberate interference created by the system?"
“Not a distraction.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Huan denied it, "The interference factor given by the system cannot be so simple. It just passes through us without inducing us to trigger the punishment. Such interference factors are too weak."
Don’t blame Ashe. There are still many players who hold the same idea after being forced to accept the facts just now.
But Nan Huan's denial without hesitation quickly shook their minds.
Indeed, from the perspective of the system, if it is just a distraction, it feels like lifting it up heavily and putting it down lightly, which is not very much like the style of the system.
"If it's not interference, then what's going on? The order isn't right."
Ase felt that he couldn't figure out the problem with his own brain. At first he was eager to find the pattern, but now he just wanted to copy the answer directly.
"Could it be that we miscalculated the time and it actually takes forty minutes to make one round? No, no, that's not right. If that's the case, the footsteps just now are even harder to explain."
Seeing that she was almost confused by the question she asked, A'She decisively shut up and almost went to look at Nanhuan with a thirsty look in his eyes.
"There are two more reasonable speculations in this situation."
Nan Huan didn't say anything, but gave Bei Xi a look, leaving the opportunity to explain to everyone to the other party. She knew that Bei Xi must have thought of it as well.
"First, including the player, there are indeed only four game participants here. The rules for players and game participants are different. Except for corners with no one, players can only go to one corner at a time. They can take pictures of any known game participants, but the corners that game participants have to go through in each round will increase in odd or even numbers."
Bei Xi didn't say much originally, but because of Nan Huan's request, she reluctantly explained in more detail.
"According to the initial positions, the players and the four participants are numbered 1-4. The eldest lady is number 1, Man Wugui is number 2, Hull is number 3, and the servant of the group is number 4. The four corners are also numbered 1-4 in clockwise order according to the direction where no one is standing. After number 1 comes to corner 2, number 2 comes to corner 3, moving one corner. The next number 3 needs to move three corners, regardless of whether there are any game participants in the corners."
"So, No. 3 passed by corner No. 4, corner No. 1 where no one was, and corner No. 2 where No. 1 was standing, and went to take a picture of No. 2 standing at corner No. 3."
"No. 3 returned to corner No. 3. Next, No. 2 was supposed to cross corner No. 4 to take a picture of the person in corner No. 1. However, since corner No. 1 was empty at that time, No. 2 stood here and started the second round again from corner No. 4. It passed through two corners and took a picture of the eldest lady."
From the beginning, Ashe and other players were still able to keep up with Beixi's thinking, but from that point on, only 1, 2, 3, 4 were left in their minds, and these four numbers kept going back and forth.
So much so that no one can focus on other words or sentences.
"This is the first guess that can barely be connected. However, from this perspective, the game rules for players are a bit too simple compared to other game participants. It's more like we are NPCs."
Bei Xi didn't realize that many people had been confused, and gave another evaluation after he finished speaking.
Ah She finally understood this sentence.
In other words, this kind of game rules that only Bei Xi could come up with are not very cost-effective for the game.
For low-end players like them, it is like listening to a foreign language.
"What about the second one, which is more in line with the rules of the game?"
In order to avoid hearing a series of numbers again, A She hurriedly continued to ask.
"Well, that means that it is very likely that number 5 appeared in this game. The special rules of the game are on it, so this strange situation occurred. It is very likely that it filled the vacancy after the eldest lady moved at the beginning, but for some reason, it would not shoot the eldest lady. This explains why the first person who passed by was not the fake me, but the second one was the fake me."
Ah She's arms, which had managed to stop shivering, started to stand up again because of the elder's words.
