Chapter 103 The Wandering Travel Group (Thirty-Four)
【bite--
The penalty time is over. 】
Following the system's prompt sound, the narrow room was filled with white mist again, becoming immeasurably deep.
Everyone stood there in a panic. Although five minutes was not a long time, it was still a great shock to everyone.
No one spoke to blame Miao Jiang for inadvertently turning around and bringing punishment. After all, the other party was well-known and had extraordinary abilities. It was obvious that this was the time when everyone needed to unite. There would be no good results from any division or opposition.
Secondly, everyone just watched the scene happen with their own eyes. Before Beixi was born, let alone Miaojiang, they themselves had not reacted, and they had no right to blame others.
They now want to spend their time and energy on how to get out of here.
After all, Nan Huan had explained it before. If there were no other accidents, according to the current rules of the game, they would most likely never be able to return to their starting position.
【bite--
The game continues. Players are requested to actively participate in the game. If players are detected to be passive in the game, the penalty will be triggered again. 】
In fact, they just haven't recovered from the punishment just now, but the system's prompt sound has begun to urge them impatiently, and it seems that they are more anxious than them.
If you don’t know, you might think the system is really worried that they won’t be able to get out before dawn.
The lesson Thailand just learned was a terrible one, and everyone could only move forward in despair and discuss things.
"Everyone... please be alert. I used up too much of my skills just now. If it happens again... I'm afraid I'll die here."
Alice's skirt was dirty. While she was cleaning herself with props, she solemnly warned everyone.
Just now, thanks to her rabbit hole, the extremely lethal enemy was diverted in a short period of time and everyone was not seriously injured.
Her breathing had not yet calmed down, and it was perfect for her to say this, and no one would jump out to object.
Miao Jiang, who had just learned a lesson, also suffered some injuries on the battlefield because he had made too many enemies.
His face didn't look very good. The key point was that he made such a big mistake in front of so many people, which was a bit embarrassing.
"Have you come up with any solution? If we continue to play this game according to the rules, the longer it takes, the greater the variables will be."
She temporarily put aside what she considered to be a personal grudge with Nan Huan and asked the other person what he thought in the crowd.
In order to avoid being deemed as violating the rules of the game by the system, she didn't even call out her name.
Miao Jiang has discovered that their information has been lagging behind Nanhuan along the way. If she wants to cooperate well, she must first know Nanhuan’s bottom line and the situation the other party has. Of course, this must also include a little selfishness of her own.
Now no one dared to look back casually, and Nanhuan did not hide it.
"No matter what, we still have to shoot people first and take a look around. There may be some hidden rules that we haven't noticed. As long as you don't violate the rules of the game, there will be no punishment. At most, it will waste a little time."
This is the truth. After all, they haven't even started playing the game. They have only taken two steps when the penalty is triggered.
However, Nan Huan understood Miao Jiang's intention. "If we can't find a breakthrough, we can only use our numerical advantage."
Everyone understood the meaning behind these words. No one knew whether they had witnessed the eldest lady's madness or had been worn out by this always unexpected copy.
In short, silence represents an atmosphere of agreement with this opinion, and the tone has basically been set.
The fog in the room seemed to be a little thicker than before. Having learned the lesson just now, everyone, led by the president, quickened their pace.
In order to prevent the situation from dragging on too long and causing any unexpected problems with the system, everyone was on high alert.
After walking for a while, they found that the white mist in front of them had dissipated a little, and the second corner of the wall was already looming, just a few steps away.
In order to prevent the system from finding loopholes in them, Nan Huan grabbed Bei Xi's hand that was about to reach forward, and turned to ask Ling Yue.
“How long did it take?”
"About five minutes."
From the very beginning, Nan Huan asked Lingyue to use a timer to calculate the time. They paused once in the middle as a punishment. Now it took them almost five minutes to finish walking one side.
The closer they got to the corner, the blurrier everyone's vision seemed to become. It seemed as if they could not see anything except the white mist.
But it was different for Nanhuan. In her eyes, the closer to the corner, the less white fog there was.
And finally, she vaguely saw the figure of a person.
The other person seemed to be wearing a black cloak with a hood, and his entire figure was obscured.
She stood facing the corner, her face could not be seen, and she could not sense any breath.
When she reported her name just now, she said the title was 'Wugui'.
The entire instance could be said to have been caused by the other party, and this instance also contained bugs such as the system being invaded and the tour guide being controlled. Nan Huan always felt that this matter had something to do with the person in front of him.
If the person in front of him was the real Man Wugui, Nan Huan couldn't understand her purpose of appearing here as an NPC.
If he is not really wandering around, and just borrowed this title, then there should be some purpose behind it.
Just like the other titles "Heer" and "Servant under the Skirt", because other people did not know the inside story, they thought that because of the relationship between Nanhuan and Beixi, and the fact that this special mission was aimed at Nanhuan, the title of Beixi appeared.
But for Nanhuan, it is not simply like this.
She approached the corner step by step, and could even feel the sound of some players holding their breath behind her, but Man Wugui, who had his back to her, did not react at all.
Finally, the hand she stretched out slowly fell on the other person's shoulder.
"Miss."
Nan Huan called out her title softly. In order to avoid giving the system a chance to make a mistake, she only said two words.
The feeling under his hand was light and fluttery, not like the touch of a normal person, especially when Nan Huan's fingers touched the other person's black cloak, he felt a chill spreading along his fingertips to his body.
"Oh."
Nan Huan originally thought that according to the rules of the game, her voice would not get any response, but she didn't expect that as soon as she finished speaking, that familiar chuckle rang out.
"You're not what I imagined."
The other party didn't seem to want to talk more, and it seemed that he was just talking to himself, not expecting any response.
When Nan Huan reacted and wanted to grab the other person's shoulders to ask for clarification, he found that the other person had already walked into the white fog like a slippery loach.
"Miss, is there anyone in the corner? It's so foggy here that I can't see anything."
A She tried to hold it in for a while, but she couldn't help it. After all, she remembered that if there was no one in the corner, she couldn't stay there for too long.
She couldn't see the location of Nanhuan, so she could only ask in the approximate direction.
"It has been filmed, and the person has left."
Nan Huan then realized that, apart from her, everyone else could only see white fog, not to mention the brief conversation between the two.
"Huh? Why didn't we see anything? Not to mention seeing anything, we didn't even hear you announce your title. What kind of game is this? Is this the end?"
Upon learning that the second person had left, Ah She's voice became louder.
I started to openly complain about the system and game settings. After all, it is very different from the previous game's style of killing all enemies.
The moment she spoke, the fog in the corner dissipated a little because of Nan Huan's arrival, and their vision was temporarily restored within a few meters.
"After you gave her name, she left. What about her figure? Could you see it?"
Nan Huan briefly described the scene just now, but she concealed what Man Wugui said to her.
"He was wearing a cloak and his back was always facing me, so I couldn't see anything clearly."
As he spoke, Nan Huan wrote on Bei Xi's palm with his fingers, explaining the true situation.
It was obvious that Man Wugui knew her, and based on the outline of the dungeon, it was very likely that the other party had already paid attention to her during the last dungeon, so he was able to send the invitation letter so accurately to her and Bei Xi.
But Nan Huan couldn’t figure out what kind of existence this character who wandered between several copies was.
Nan Huan was also very concerned about the existence of someone who could invade the system and control the tour guide.
"Is it really just a game of patting shoulders?"
A'She repeatedly chewed over the information provided by Nanhuan and found that it was pitifully little. He could not see any problems and could not find any patterns.
"Could it be that the system simply set up an infinite loop for us, a game that will never end?"
She was a little confused. Just like Nan Huan said before, the system would not give them unsolvable games. Logically, there should be some trouble, but it seemed too calm.
No wonder she expressed such emotion.
"Don't be anxious. This is just the beginning. We need to see the reactions of other NPCs besides us to know whether this is just a simple shoulder-patting game. After all, they may have different game rules than us."
Nan Huan was very calm. She didn't believe the system would be so kind.
It’s not that there aren’t any unexpected problems, but I’m afraid that bigger unexpected problems are just around the corner.
Everyone spoke in low voices. On the one hand, they wanted to prick up their ears to listen to the noises in the distance. On the other hand, once they thought that this room was essentially a coffin, their voices would automatically lower.
Nan Huan didn’t think that what Man Wugui said to him had anything to do with this game.
If the other party is genuine, comes for you, and wants to do something bad, then the conditions just now are actually very suitable.
If the other party was not genuine, then the words just now were meant to arouse her curiosity and induce her to make a mistake or do something stupid in order to find out the truth.
Therefore, when we don’t know all the situations, we can only respond to changes by remaining unchanged.
"How many minutes?"
Nan Huan had already given up eavesdropping when even Bei Xi, with her excellent perception, could not hear any more noise from the third corner. She calculated the time and asked a question.
"It's almost twenty minutes, it should have been a full circle..."
Lingyue looked at the time diligently, and saw that it was time for the fourth corner's game participant to come over.
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Bei Xi.
"Shh...someone is coming, there are footsteps..."
All the players fell silent immediately. Those who hadn't heard the sound at first were still puzzled. It was not until more than ten seconds later that the sound of footsteps, neither light nor heavy, gradually became clear.
It was just when everyone was holding their breath, feeling nervous, waiting for the person behind them to pat them on the shoulder.
But they heard the footsteps pass them by and spread into the depths of the white fog in front of them.
