Chapter 019 Anchor Simulator
The encounter between the three players just now caused some minor disturbances. Ji Xu didn't pay attention to it. He took the responsibility of the logistics work that no one was responsible for and stopped the car at the hospital. He paid the medical expenses remotely, deliberately chose the best package to ensure that the sniper could participate in the next game alive and well, and then opened the panoramic view.
A small red dot is approaching the trap house.
He reviewed what had happened during the payment period.
After escaping, Ren Xi crossed the river again and wandered aimlessly in the forest. Anonymous and ABC looked into the distance and found a new trap house. The two groups happened to be heading in the same direction and were about to collide.
All in all, things are still under control.
Then Ren Xi in the surveillance video went in first.
It stands to reason that the two of them went straight to the destination, and Ren Xi wandered around, so they should have bumped into each other. But it was such a coincidence that Ren Xi wandered back a few minutes after missing the trap house. Her behavior logic was too normal, but she always got everything she wanted, so normal that some contestants finally began to doubt her.
When the duo arrived, they saw only a destroyed house.
Ji Xu hit the switch button, and the voice of ABC flowed out from the live broadcast room, "What bad luck, we didn't catch the person, and the supplies are gone."
Anonymous: "Let me tell you something. Ren Xi's name is a bit weird. It's not that people don't like names, but everyone else uses random code names, except her... Let's put it this way, the relationship between her and us is like a box cutter on an arms display, they don't fit in from head to toe."
The three red dots on the panoramic map moved further away from each other. Ji Xu found that his headset was plugged into a new channel, and Ren Xi was looking for him: "Host, are you there? I want to know where the trap house with weapons is."
It seems that she is not satisfied with the question card.
Ji Xu thought about it and pointed to a place where they needed to return. Ren Xi would definitely pass by the group of two.
123 listened to the whole process quietly and said in a subtle tone: "What's wrong with this contestant?" He was busy just now and didn't hear the names of other contestants. He complained, "Is she deliberately avoiding the battle or is she trying to show her presence? Host, why are the contestants you find weirder and weirder?"
Ji Xu: "Please remain silent for now."
123 apologized flexibly: "Sorry, I thought you were done. Did the driverless car deliberately send us away instead of leaving us in the forest to remind us to take the headset with us to contact you?"
“That’s what I meant.”
Ji Xu responded by saying that he was adjusting the video angle over and over again. Ren Xi, who had just received the answer, hesitated for a few seconds and chose to turn back. The two of them stayed where they were, discussing the strangeness of the last contestant.
The belated showdown was approaching, and at this moment, Ji Xu was not willing to have a probing chat with someone who was forced to submit to his pressure.
He missed the many employees at Anxia, each of whom was so fun to talk to.
"That--"
"Player 123, since you have guessed my subtext, you should understand that I am not allowing the vehicle to stop because your game is over."
The mechanical voice interrupted him in boredom. It was strange how this tone of voice could express emotions. However, no matter how incomprehensible it was, 123 didn't dare to jump into the minefield and test it again.
The host said: "Please leave the game and don't interrupt my work."
He obeyed and shut up.
Just as 123 said, he did not hand the headset back because the unmanned vehicle took them directly out of the forest. This attitude shows that the headset is a communication method given to the contestants.
After returning home, 123 found the hidden interface on it. He immediately rummaged through the drawers and took out a data cable that matched the socket to connect the live broadcast screen and the headset.
After all the trouble, as soon as he put it on, he heard the host's voice directing Ren Xi to return.
The host asked him to keep the channel silent, so he calmed down and focused on other important things, such as playing the video back at triple speed and paying attention to the audience's discussion.
"123 and ABC, these names are so perfunctory together. I really suspect that the two of them made an appointment to come here to deceive the host."
Before meeting the host, I still dared to think about it, but now I don’t dare, I cherish my life.
"Someone has figured out the location of the forest. It's said that someone paid a large sum of money to buy it last month. Can anyone find out the name of the buyer?"
What the hell? It’s obvious that the host’s name is a pseudonym - no, based on his brief contact with the host, this person may really not care about the difference between real and fake.
123 immediately perked up and contacted those who claimed to be capable in the comment section. He eliminated five people whose tricks were obviously not as good as his, and also drove away two idiots who had no self-awareness. After picking and choosing, he finally found a truly interesting audience.
He changed his wording several times in the chat box, and finally decided to pretend to be a kind-hearted idiot who thought he was very smart.
123 privately chatted with the other party: "Hello, I noticed that you left a message saying that you know who the buyer is. The host's face covering has already shown his attitude. If you publicize it like this, aren't you afraid that he will take you away to participate in the escape game?"
Monitoring the backend tree hole:? ?
We are the ones who opened this live broadcast room. Do you think we can't see your private chat? 123, don't think that just because you change your tone, I won't know that you are slandering my employer in secret.
It reported to Ji Xu conscientiously. Ji Xu did not expect that 123 would stop calling him for a few minutes and then change the number to continue to torment him. He took off his mask and rubbed his eyes, "Who was the first person to leave a message... Never mind, it's not a big deal. You should pay attention to their discussion."
Tree Hole: "Just leave it alone? Okay."
It didn't do it immediately, and hesitated to speak, hoping to make its employer feel more cheerful. After a long time, it finally remembered the topic that Ji Xu was interested in.
"It's this employer," it said, "When I was observing the comments, I accidentally discovered that the rose in the crystal ball was alive. It was originally a dried specimen, but now its roots have filled the entire glass ball. It is predicted that it will burst the container in half a day."
Ji Xu was indeed interested: "Wait until I get back and take a look."
Good! Saying one more word is also a victory. Shudong encouraged himself and went to read 123's comments contentedly. Ji Xu would not avoid chatting. He could talk endlessly about something he was interested in, but he was not proactive and would filter out other people's nonsense, which gave people the illusion that he was a man of few words.
At least that’s what 123, who was forcibly muted, thought.
He guessed the host's style in the brief contact, but he could not deeply understand the host's character. At least Ji Xu just told him to shut up instead of kicking him out directly. From reminders, explanations to ultimatums, Ji Xu even went through the warning process from light to heavy.
If we have to study it, it is normal for the contestants to be at a disadvantage and to advance cautiously step by step, and then be driven away by Ji Xu without any attention. Anonymous's open and aboveboard self-recommendation is the way Ji Xu likes to talk.
In the Yago Forest.
Anonymous threw away the branch and dusted off his hands: "I'm done. Is there a problem with the last contestant's name? Why did you suddenly ask me to list all the common homophones... Which name is she using?"
abc sighed, "I'm not sure either. If I had known earlier, I would have asked the host what the word was."
It's too late to regret now. In fact, abc had some guesses in his mind, mainly because the anonymous words woke him up, and his instinct from battling wits and courage with his mortal enemy was sounding the alarm again.
He walked over and felt pain in his right shoulder when he lifted it, so he tapped the word "夕" with his foot.
Said: "I'm not sure about the last name, but the first name should be this."
Anonymous looked around but couldn't figure it out: "How did you know? Wait, don't talk, let me figure it out."
She started with the word "夕". Anonymous remembered what she had joked about before, that each contestant had a nickname randomly chosen, and what if the only contestant in the end also caught up with the mainstream tacitly? 夕,名——She was about to grab something, but she caught a glimpse of several animals running from the east.
Anonymous subconsciously picked up the weapon, "There are people passing by in the east, I will go to support you, you should quickly practice your left-hand aiming technique, or try to be brave and endure the pain of the wound to hit the target with one strike."
ABC held the wound on his right shoulder and joked, "I can't shoot accurately now. What if I'm lucky enough to make Ren Xi lose his ability to move?"
Anonymous said without hesitation, "It's simple. I'll punch you before you leave and give you a concussion. This way I can get 10 points and leave."
——
There is only one river in the area circled by the seasons. From north to southwest, the river runs through this irregular circle and also cuts out an arc-shaped corner.
This group of people ran from the large area to the smaller corners, and now they have to run back.
Anonymous followed the clues and came here, but he didn't expect to see a new trap house. The footprints at the door indicated that Ren Xi had already entered.
She walked around but didn't find any window, so she had to push the door open.
This trap house is different from the initial room. It is filled with mirrors. The first thing Anonymous saw when he entered was a piece of printed paper stuck on the mirror. The glue marks were not firm, and it seemed that it had been lifted up and checked by the previous visitor.
Obviously the previous visitor was Ren Xi.
Anonymous leaned in. In the mirror, countless of her also leaned inward, layer upon layer, like petals retracting after pressing the back button. There was a famous poem written on it.
“O Beauty, find thyself in love, not in the flattery of thy mirror.”
It's actually bilingual, how outrageous. Anonymous muttered as he turned the note over and over again, and there was a kind reminder on the back saying "Please don't break the mirror"... Alas, this kind of brain-intensive work is not suitable for her. If she had known earlier, she would have brought her teammates along.
Anonymous stepped out, found his teammate who was about to ambush, and dragged him away.
"The plan has changed. Come with me first. Ren Xi has entered the trap house. We need to change it to an indoor duel."
He uttered a confused "Huh?" and was dragged into the house soon after. The anonymous person tore off the paper and almost put the clue word on his nose, "What does this mean?"
"How dare you count on me." ABC took the note down, pointed at himself, and said faintly, "You are the first person who believes in me."
"I'm pretty good at judging people. The fact that you're still alive today must have trained you in some way during your confrontation with your mortal enemy."
Anonymous reminded him to put away his gun. The mirror cannot be destroyed here, which also means that the contestants who come in cannot use force, unless someone is strong enough to easily suppress the enemy and not hit the mirror. She continued: "It's like you discovered that Ren Xi's name is weird faster than I did."
