Chapter 106 The Wandering Travel Group (Thirty-Seven)
If Nan Huan was testing him before, the real Man Wugui could still maintain his superficial calm by implementing screen recording. Even if Nan Huan guessed it, what could he do?
She still wasn't sure of her true identity, and most of what she said was speculation, which couldn't cause any harm to herself.
But she suddenly changed the subject and continued talking about the game. After only a few rounds of games, she guessed that there was a hidden number 5 on the field.
Especially from Nan Huan's tone, she seemed to have some guesses about the identity of No. 5.
But how is this possible?
Man Wugui carefully reviewed the relevant prompts and messages given by the system at the beginning of the game and during the game. Apart from the title of "Hull", there was nothing else that could be called a clue.
But the person standing in the corner smelled something from this little bit of information.
"Well, your silence has fully proved that my answer is almost correct."
Nan Huan knew when to stop. Although this tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west was a bit annoying, it had to be said that it was still somewhat useful. She knew everything she wanted to know.
Before Man Wugui could take any action, he decisively patted the other person's shoulder and gave his name.
"Miss."
The coldness on the fingers was constantly increasing, and judging from the numb fingertips from the cold, Man Wugui was very angry.
"Now you know how I felt when you asked me a question and I ran away, right?"
She added, "We are even now, and I didn't break any rules, so don't mess around."
The last sentence is of course meant to anger the other party. The real Wugui may not be restricted by the game, but the opponent's mouthpiece in front of him obviously has to abide by the rules of the game.
Nan Huan didn't know what the other party's purpose was or why he hated her, but that didn't stop her from making the other party angry first.
Zhen Zhen Man Wugui was so angry that he turned off the real-time video recording. The game participants here had lost control and could only move according to the established rules.
It was not until she completely left the corner that the white mist slowly dissipated a little.
Nan Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and then the players behind him saw that there was no one in the corner.
"Miss, you scared us to death. Didn't we agree to just confirm the facts with the other party? Why are you still provoking others?"
Ah She was so nervous that she almost fainted. In Nan Huan's plan just now, there was a possibility that Man Wugui in the corner would get angry out of shame, so each of them was on edge, fearing that they would take action if the eldest lady didn't even say hello.
"She didn't make a move when I asked her the first question, which means she was probably restricted by the game and couldn't make a move. I'm not stupid, so why can't I provoke her?"
Ah She scratched his head, feeling that what the other party said made a lot of sense, and strangely accepted this explanation.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. We have reached the fourth corner now. A large part of the speculations of the young lady and the chairman have been confirmed. As long as we don't make any mistakes later, we can go back to the first corner in the next round and the game will be over."
Alice summarized the current situation and reminded, "Is everyone clear about the division of labor just now? Those who should watch the time should pay attention to the time, and those who should pay attention to the movement should prick up their ears. And the few people who are observing the props..."
Nan Huan looked at the remaining players, all of whom had swept away the gloom from before and took action, and couldn't help but sigh.
"What the tour guide said was right. Not having everyone separated is still helpful. At least when we're fighting, there's division of labor. If I were alone, I'd be so busy and have to take care of everything."
Considering that not long ago, the people here were all hostile to each other, the scene before us was somewhat funny.
After watching for a while, she nudged Bei Xi with her elbow and said, "Actually, these are just empty talk. The key point is you. You have to perform well later."
Things took a turn for the better, and Nan Huan's teasing tone became relaxed for a rare moment.
"What if you're wrong? What if this person has nothing to do with me or Hull?"
While everyone else was busy, Beixi and Nanhuan were the two most relaxed people. They hid in a corner and whispered to each other.
Bei Xi asked her jokingly.
"Hmm... not very likely." Nan Huan thought about it carefully and gave a serious answer. "Her appeared in the previous two copies, and this copy is no exception. Judging from the situation of Man Wugui and the other fake you, the one playing the game with us is most likely not the real Heer in this copy."
"There must be some reason for her to appear. She can't just be there for no reason. If that were the case, replacing another unrelated player would make no difference. But the game didn't do that. That means that without her, the game wouldn't work. This is a small hint."
"That's why a fake you and a fake Hull both appeared here. I understand. But I don't know why Man Wugui showed up. It feels a little weird."
Bei Xi looked at her with amusement, "Didn't you make everyone angry and leave?"
She hooked Nan Huan's finger and played with it. "Her real body didn't show up, which means this game is not her home field, or she wants to do something to us through this copy without doing it herself. It's not a problem for now. We can let her go for now. Since the other party has pulled such a long line and laid such a big bait, there will always be a day when she will show up."
"Chairman, Miss, it's almost time..."
Before Nan Huan could say anything, he was interrupted by Nineteen.
Nearly another fifteen minutes had passed, which meant that the thing in the third corner behind her should be moving.
Sure enough, as everyone waited with bated breath, they heard the familiar footsteps again.
But this time, although there was white mist around, fine golden powder could be seen moving and flashing in the faint white mist.
When the fine golden powder was slowly approaching the fourth corner of the wall where they were standing, Bei Xi, who had been observing the changes of the golden powder in the white mist, finally spoke.
"I'm here."
Her voice wasn't loud, but at this distance, it was enough for Jinfen to hear it.
She did not deliberately change her tone of voice, nor did she say anything sensational. She simply stated her position and let the other party figure it out.
Nan Huan stared at the movement of Jinfen nervously. When she saw that it suddenly stopped because of Beixi's words and Jinfen stopped moving, she knew that she was probably right to block it.
Nan Huan bumped Bei Xi lightly without leaving any trace, encouraging the latter to try again.
"I'm here."
"Don't you want to play with me?"
It is actually very difficult to say these words to others, so Bei Xi simply turned his gaze to Nan Huan and pretended that he was saying these words to Nan Huan. Sure enough, he said them much more fluently.
The footsteps that had originally stopped changed their original direction because of Bei Xi's additional words and moved closer to the fourth corner of the wall.
"Yes, this is the direction. Keep going forward."
Bei Xi felt like she was teaching a child to walk, but it was obvious that the other party did not care about her tone. Instead, he recognized her voice and moved towards her voice without hesitation.
The white fog in front of my eyes gradually deepened, and I still couldn't see the other party's figure clearly. Only the occasional flash of golden powder in the white fog showed that the other party was moving towards this side.
"Is this the special secret that the young lady mentioned?"
In the crowd, Ah She looked at the golden powder reference object approaching from a distance, his mouth wide open, "I think I can do it too? By the way, this No. 5 can't be a child, is he fooled by just a sentence and came here?"
Ah She expressed confusion as to how a president could accomplish this task so easily.
"Keep your voice down and don't interrupt." Alice heard her complaints and turned her head to tap her head gently. "How about I ask the president to give this opportunity to you, why don't you try it?"
When Nan Huan said that they had special communication skills, Alice thought they had some kind of communication props. She didn't expect that the killer weapon would be such a calm voice.
But the strange thing is that the hidden No. 5 is really getting closer.
Although Alice didn't understand what was going on for the time being, she knew it very well in her heart.
If anyone could be replaced in this matter, the eldest lady would not have given instructions just now, saying that no one should make trouble when the president speaks.
The eldest lady is not someone who likes to take credit for others' work. In other words, this matter can only be done by the president.
In addition to sighing that the president really had special communication skills, everyone was also sighing that her and the eldest lady's previous speculations had all come true one by one.
They originally thought that according to the information released about the game, there were only four game participants, and no one expected that there was a mysterious number 5.
According to the eldest lady's speculation, the mysterious No. 5 stood at their original position after they left the first corner.
But I don’t know whether it’s because they started from the same corner, or because the other party was a interference factor, or for some other reason, in Nan Huan’s eyes, he could not see the existence of the mysterious No. 5.
And in the rules of No. 5, for some reason, it also turns a blind eye to the eldest lady.
That's why it happened that No. 4, who was originally standing at corner No. 4, slapped No. 5 and stayed at the first corner, while No. 5 passed the eldest lady who was standing at corner No. 2 and directly slapped No. 2 who was standing at corner No. 3 and stayed at corner No. 3.
So when it is the eldest lady's turn in the third round, she will see that there is nothing in corner No. 3, but in fact, No. 5 has been standing in corner No. 3.
If this assumption is correct, then in the next round, No. 5 will cross Nanhuan standing at the corner of No. 4 again to take a picture of No. 2 standing at the corner of No. 1.
The result of No. 5 staying in corner No. 1 is that this kind of situation where the eldest lady is left out will keep appearing, and she can only jump back and forth between corners No. 2 and No. 4, and can never get back to corner No. 1 where she started.
In this way, the running trajectories of each game participant matched each other. In order to confirm this speculation, Nan Huan formulated a series of plans.
When he first saw an empty corner, Nan Huan used a marking prop. In less than five seconds, he sprinkled a fine golden powder on the corner to confirm whether there was really no one in the corner, or whether Nan Huan could not see number 5 due to some rules.
Then, while talking to Man Wugui, he took advantage of the gap to find out what the other party was saying, and it was basically confirmed that No. 5 existed.
Even Nanhuan was already prepared. If this guess was true, he would know how to reach the first corner in the shortest time.
They are now standing at the fourth corner, and there are two ways to get to the first corner.
The first one is to ignore the mysterious No. 5 and let him pass by them and stand in the first corner. Their next turn will be to pat No. 5 on the shoulder.
But because they only understood the rules and were not at the stage of breaking them, Nan Huan was not sure whether they could successfully pat each other's shoulders even with the help of the golden segmentation.
The second reason is that the rules of the game stipulate that they cannot stay in an empty corner for more than five seconds.
Pat the other person on the shoulder, shout your own title, and make sure that no mysterious changes occur after shouting the title. Then, within five seconds, shout that the game is over.
This operation method is very complicated, and Nanhuan has no way to guarantee that everything can be completed within five seconds, so the risk is quite high.
The second method is what they are doing now, which is to disrupt No. 5's own rules, prevent it from crossing the fourth corner, and induce it to take the initiative to take pictures of the eldest lady.
In this way, as long as they don't turn their heads when the other party says an unfamiliar title, the game rules in this regard will not be triggered.
After being patted on the shoulder, Nan Huan could leave the fourth corner openly and go to pat No. 2 standing in the first corner, thus completing the task directly.
Although I don’t know if disrupting the rules of the mysterious No. 5 will trigger other punishments.
But compared to the first method, this method is easier to operate.
Moreover, Nan Huan has already speculated that the mysterious No. 5 is most likely related to Hull. For Bei Xi, who looks exactly like Hull and has a very similar voice, it should not be difficult to attract the other party's attention.
What's more, even if the second plan fails, there is still a chance to remedy it.
If they found that the other party did not respond to Bei Xi's voice, then they would have no choice but to give up and follow the first plan, wait for another round, and then pat No. 5 on the shoulder.
Fortunately, the second plan was very successful.
However, Nan Huan did not explain further as to why No. 5 responded to Bei Xi's voice.
On the one hand, this matter needs to be explained from the beginning in order to be made clear, and they really don't have the time now. On the other hand, Nan Huan privately does not want to expose the fact that He'er and Bei Xi look very similar.
While Nan Huan was stunned, the white fog in front of him was getting thicker and thicker. Everyone had turned around and faced the corner.
The footsteps were already behind her, and Bei Xi no longer said a word.
Everyone held their breath, anxious to hear the other person's title, but at the same time silently told themselves not to look back and prayed that nothing would go wrong.
Until the moment when the tension in the air reached its peak, Nan Huan finally felt a cold hand slowly approaching him.
"Princess."
The other person's voice was very nice, at least much better than Man Wugui's contemptuous voice.
There was still joy in her tone, not sure if it was because of playing the game or because she just heard Bei Xi's voice, which made her mistakenly think it was He'er.
For a moment, Nan Huan felt a little guilty.
But before she could take a step regardless, the system prompt sounded.
【bite--
Congratulations to the player for discovering the troublemaker in the game and successfully disrupting the opponent's rhythm. 】
Fortunately, fortunately, Nan Huan patted his chest, at least it’s not a punishment.
[The princess really likes your prank and smells a familiar scent on you.
Congratulations to the player for receiving the princess's reward "Memory Fragment".
"Memory Fragments" is being recalled——】
Nan Huan's smile froze on her face. Although the system had previously reminded her that the game would trigger penalties and obtain rewards based on actual conditions, she did not expect that there would actually be rewards.
[“Memory Fragments” has been retraced. This period of time will not be counted in the special mission.]
After the system added one sentence, it went offline.
However, the environment in which the player is located has changed. The room that was originally filled with white fog disappeared completely in an instant.
Everyone looked up at the four corners and behind them, but as the retrospective reward of "Memory Fragments" was activated, the game participants and the troublemakers just now had disappeared.
The only thing left in the entire room was a half-meter-high red candle in the center, emitting a faint light.
What does this mean? Isn't this some kind of 'memory fragment'?
Could it be that you are referring to the candle in front of you?
No one was confused. Just by listening to the prompts, they couldn't figure out what the reward was.
Just when some players were getting ready to get closer to the candle to get a clearer look.
With the candle as the center, the entire room is like a holographic projection, with the background and color scheme changed, spreading to the surroundings in the direction of ripples.
The structure of the house slowly disappeared and the candlelight became weaker and weaker until it could no longer be seen.
By the time everyone reacted, there was no room in front of them, but a steep and bumpy path that was not easy to walk on, and even the sky became foggy.
If there hadn't been a faint trace of the moon in the west, it would have been impossible to tell that it was evening.
"What does this mean?" A She turned around on the spot. Although in the game, he often felt an illusion of being disconnected from reality, this change was not real.
But this time the feeling was particularly shocking, because she could even feel the cool breeze in the evening and the chirping of insects and birds around her, making her unable to believe that everything that seemed real in front of her was not real.
"Could it be that the reward is to throw us into this deserted place?"
Apart from the chirping of insects and birds, there were no other sounds around, which was different from the complete silence in the room. Apart from a few rolling hills, there were no human habitation areas in sight.
If it is a memory fragment, it must have some actual content, it shouldn't be just a landscape picture.
Nan Huan stood at the edge of the path, looking down at the large open space under the hill. He looked at it thoughtfully for a long time before he said with certainty, "This is where Fengmenling is located. I don't know why the entire village has disappeared?"
