Chapter 224: Arrogance (Thanks to the Leader of Munomite)

After a slight pause, Chen Ran raised his left arm, looking at Jiang Cheng with a pair of eyes, and said with an exaggerated expression: "Brother Hao, you are not talking about this, right?"

There is a neat wound on the lower part of Chen Ran's left forearm.

It is not serious, about 4 or 5 centimeters long, and blood oozes out from time to time. The bright blood crosses Chen Ran's white skin, and the contrast is extremely strong. Finally, it gathers at the fingertips and drips to the ground.

But the man in front of him has obviously lost the ability to resist and has become a lamb to be slaughtered, while he was just injured by the other party's unreasonable hand.

How did he win?

Suddenly, Chen Ran's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he immediately looked at the position where the flame was set in the middle of the room.

The flame burned fiercely, and a faint, strange fragrance filled the air.

"Heh," Chen Ran slowly put down his arm. He squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Cheng, who was grinning at him with a smile that showed his evil plan had succeeded. He couldn't help but sigh, "The dagger is poisonous."

"Hmm," Jiang Cheng looked at Chen Ran, who was still conscious and would let him do whatever he wanted in a while, and his smile became more and more perverted, "The dagger is poisonous, but it wasn't me."

"It was Su Xiaoxiao."

"Yes," Jiang Cheng shrugged and continued, "She's not as stupid as you think. She also saw the mystery in the flame. The fuel contains some kind of hallucinogenic ingredients.

"The only mistake she made was that she was too weak and had to take care of her brother. If she could hurt you with the dagger, you would be the one thrown on the stone plate," Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "It was a close call, brother Chen. "

There must be some explanation for the flame in the lighthouse, otherwise the "things" in Black Stone Town would not be repeatedly emphasized.

After Liang Long disappeared, Jiang Cheng figured out the mystery.

At the scene of Liang Long's disappearance, Jiang Cheng smelled a familiar fragrance.

Yes, it was the aroma produced by the burning of the milky white oil-like substance in the lighthouse flame vessel.

They already knew that this aroma had the effect of greatly slowing down people's reactions and suppressing emotions.

If I guessed correctly, Liang Long secretly dug some from the vessel, probably to take advantage of the fact that no one was studying it. As a result, because she needed to light a fire when she was waiting alone in the hall on the first floor at night, she took out some oil and used it as fuel.

Oil is extremely flame-resistant and can also provide a lot of heat.

As a result, it was this move that, by chance, awakened the sleeping in the stone wall. 's monster.

Thus, he was killed.

In this way, the purpose of those guys in Black Stone Town who instigated them to light the lighthouse is clear at a glance, which is to awaken the "kind" who have turned into stone sculptures.

Jiang Cheng guessed that Liang Long just accidentally unlocked some monsters in advance, and if they really waited for a few days or even longer to light the lighthouse, all the stone sculptures sleeping in the hall would be revived.

In that case, they would definitely be finished.

His body began to numb. Even though his physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people, Chen Ran felt dizzy now. He was completely holding on with his will and didn't want to fall down.

The strange things in nightmares are really

Chen Ran staggered back until he hit the wall behind him, then leaned against the wall, his body slowly slid down, and fell to the ground.

He seemed to want to struggle a few more times, but his body no longer allowed him to do so.

"Crack." "Cack"

A strange sound that made his teeth ache came from his ears. He tried his best to turn his head. In the dim light, he saw an abnormally distorted but extremely excited face.

The old woman poked her head out from the gap and stared at Chen Ran, who couldn't move, with a greedy look on her face.

It seemed like she was accumulating strength, but more like waiting.

It was like a spider looking at a moth that crashed into the web and struggled desperately.

The moment it stopped struggling, it was its death.

"Cack, clack"

The old woman opened her mouth, and her snake-like, slender, scarlet tongue swirled around her purple lips. The weird and strange sound came from her throat.

It was as if she was a dying old man with phlegm in his throat.

This sound, coupled with the old woman's current expression, was undoubtedly a real horror movie ghost.

Jiang Cheng agreed with Chen Ran's guess. This person was very smart and had sophisticated means, but he was too He was too arrogant. If he had just cut his tendons with a knife, there wouldn't be so much trouble.

As he said, this old woman is not one of the players, but a very special NPC.

The crisis in this mission comes from two aspects.

On the one hand, it is external, that is, the ghosts in Black Stone Town, but according to Jiang Cheng's speculation, those ghosts cannot enter this building, and even if they step into this building, they will be petrified.

That's how the stone sculptures in the first floor hall came from.

On the other hand, it is internal.

That is, the old woman who appeared as a "teammate".

According to the fat man, they "picked up" the old woman at the beach.

If the building is imagined as a safe house to deal with the guys in Black Stone Town, then the old woman is the threat hidden in the safe house, otherwise once the players matched this time are timid and stay indoors.

Then the mission duration will be extended.

If the nightmare is really controlled by someone or something, this deal seems unreasonable.

So

Chen Ran's sudden voice attracted Jiang Cheng's attention again.

"Brother Hao," his voice was weak, but the frivolous feeling in him remained unchanged. Even when facing death, he still looked calm and composed.

Chen Ran narrowed his eyes. Because of exhaustion, his chin could only be lifted a little. He chuckled and said, "How are you going to use me?"

Use

For others, this may just be the ravings of a madman, but Jiang Cheng doesn't think so. He thinks this Chen Ran is quite unusual. He is a rare guy whose thinking mode is somewhat similar to his own.

If it were Liang Long and others, they probably wouldn't beg for mercy at this moment, but they would definitely repeatedly emphasize that hurting teammates in nightmares would be punished.

Yes, and Chen Xiaomeng.

"Do you want to borrow my hand to kill this damn old woman?" Chen Ran asked.

Jiang Cheng touched his chin. Although the wound on his body was not fatal, it hurt a lot as long as he moved.

"No, I won't bother you with such a cheap thing as killing people. What if this is really a way to leave here?" Jiang Cheng said, "Wouldn't it let Brother Chen escape?"

"I plan to leave you here," he thought for a while, and then added, "I will leave you here by yourself. I need to verify some things."

Jiang Cheng has been observing the old woman. She seems to be very interested in Chen Ran who has lost his ability to resist. Her tongue is almost touching the latter's face.

But she never took action. Instead, she kept glancing at him with impatient eyes.
